More than happy to not waste time on it if it’s a non-starter on the marketing side though. Can take that idea off the list and free up some mental space!

Yeah, very similar idea to what you mentioned, actually. Profile makeovers. I’ve been back in the dating scene the last couple years and I hear that most guys have really bad profiles. It’s hard to have a good one. Thought maybe you could partner with online dating coaches or something

Good to know! I’ve considered building something really similar

So weird that we used to celebrate operating systems, but it was a big deal at the time πŸ˜‚

@justinjackson.ca interesting perspective on podcasting and advertising. Made me think of some of the things you’ve been talking about recently with @jonbuda.com and @briancasel.com about where you might want to go with Transistor

Curious to hear what you think. I’ve been wanting to try it but I haven’t made time yet.

For sure. πŸ˜† Super interesting to see where that ends up. I assume the companies that love meetings will have to ban them eventually

Awesome! I went last year and had a great time. Hopefully I’ll be back next year.

Front End Software Engineer, New Products

This job is front-end focused, but sounds like a Rails gig using Hotwire and Turbo.

Mozilla would be a cool company to work for.

Remote, US-based.

And voila, no more layout issues! The frame disappears πŸͺ„

29.09.2025 10:57 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Then in your response, just make sure your frame is empty when there is no data:

<%= turbo_frame_tag dom_id(@employee, :timesheets) do %>
<% if @timesheets.any? %>
...
<% end %>
<% end %>

29.09.2025 10:57 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Assuming you're using Tailwind, you can use `empty:hidden` in the turbo frame tag where you're making the lazy loading call, like this:

<%= turbo_frame_tag dom_id(employee, :timesheets), loading: :lazy, src: employee_timesheets_path(employee), class: "empty:hidden" do %>

Just found a nice trick when lazy loading with a turbo frame.

I'm working on a page that loads timesheets for a list of employees as you scroll down a long list.

When there are no timesheets, I update the frame to be empty, but it was still taking up a little extra space in the layout.

A chart showtime time tracking for one week. With tasks broken up by development, project management, code review, etc.

Started getting up earlier than usual and going straight to a coffee shop.
Still adjusting to the new schedule, but feeling productive and excited to take this momentum into the new week. πŸš€

Also makes me realize that weeks where I mostly write code feel good. πŸ€”

How's your week shaping up?
