It truly is the best darn barcode app out there. And the magical Apple Wallet integration is, well… magical!

We Open-sourced a #Sidekiq extension called sidekiq-disposal - it allows you to mark jobs to be killed/discarded by Job ID, Batch ID, or Job Class. We extracted this out of our monolith. I hope to add a UI (into Sidekiq's admin UI). And I'm also looking for a way to do the kill/dispose right in the server middleware, so you don't have to add any custom code to your sidekiq_retry_in block.

I know this is well outside my normal tech-focused stuff, but… after 20 years in storage, I busted out the first #paintball marker (the black Tippmann 68 Carbine) I bought (1995-ish) and the last one I bought (2k3 WGP Autococker Prostock) before I stopped playing regularly back in 2004. I am rebuilding them to play with our boys. I also have a new electro pneumatic marker (Dye Rize CZR), but the old school mechanical ones are making a comeback, and that 'cocker can still hang with moderns.

Well, shit… "New Bundler cache format breaks Heroku deploys" for #Ruby apps. This is related to a number of recent Bundler bugs related to Git-sourced dependencies, when vendoring Gems.

I basically stopped using Twitter (and move here) back when Elmo took over. But I finally go around to downloading my archive and I'm not deleting 26k+ toots. Better late than never, I suppose.

While working on a #Rails upgrade I just made 4 commits with around 70 lines of text in the #Git commit messages! The entire series of commits was +50, -61 in lines changed.

Future me (and/or future teammates) will thank past me for the rich context while git blame-ing someday. Be past-me, for future you.

Speaking of #Rails upgrades. bin/rails app:update is great, and necessary. But it can also be really noisy for files where you have a bunch of customization. For those cases, I turn to RailsDiff to see what's changed with Rails-generated files. I then take those changes that:

1. minimize diffs from what future app:updates will generate

2. we actually want/need!

For example: https://railsdiff.org/7.0.8.5/7.2.1.1

TIL: While ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor defaults to cipher: 'aes-256-cbc’, #Rails applies a different default (aes-256-gcm) by way of the use_authenticated_message_encryption configuration option - added in Rails 5.2.

I learned this while writing some isolated (from Rails) tests for some encryption abstractions we have, in prep for our pending Rails upgrades. In the end, I'm going to make our code more explicit about which cipher and digest we're using. And make the tests explicit too!

Even @st0012's great guide says up is the same in both byebug and ruby/debug, but that's not what I'm seeing. Though… now that I've said it, I'm wondering if this is a specific way that pry-byebug interacts?

i.e., maybe pry-byebug is making up behave differently than vanilla byebug?

Looking for help moving from #Ruby byebug to ruby/debug - specifically navigating the stack. Say I've s[tep into] a frame and now I'm done and want to finish that frame and resume where the frame returned. With byebug up would do that.

But with ruby/debug I need to fin[ish frame] and then n[ext]. While ruby/debug has up, it seems to "move" the debugger around frames, w/o actually executing anything. I suppose that makes sense, but seems different than up in byebug, no?

“These days, I'm sure the vast majority of people who've used an "agile card wall" for the purpose of prioritizing work and communicating status have only done so with a mediocre web app featuring awkward horizontal scrolling and glitchy drag-and-drop of "cards." Not a physical wall with paper index cards and sharpies that always ran dry too fucking fast.”

Are you calling me old, @searls? It sure as shit feels like you’re saying I’m old. And you’re not wrong, but DAMN!

I’m no longer at #Heroku (owned by Salesforce), but several folks in my network are. Here’s hoping one can hook Corey up.
