@jeremysmith.co had a great talk on refactoring "volatile" views with ViewComponents that was well received (even passed Kylie's security audits).

Jim getting us started:

After interviewing Igor over a year ago in the country of Georgia, I got the opportunity to welcome him to his new home in the state of Georgia and meet him in person. How cool is the world?

One cool aspect (and part of Jim’s goal) is that many of those new friends live close to me. Like Jim said, something special happens when you meet up in person.

I want to say a big thanks to @jremsikjr.bsky.social for putting on XORuby.com in ATL yesterday. It was great being part of a small, intimate conference. I caught up with friends and met some new ones.

Thomas Cannon speaking to XO Ruby at the Limelight Theatre in Atlanta. The audience are seated in stadium-like theater seating.

Physically exhausted, emotionally over-stimulated. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

People are awesome.

They just need an excuse to break out of their routines and be encouraged to be curious of possible futures.

I'm looking forward to this talk next Saturday!

Take a peek behind the scenes at this exciting duo as they start a new company and new AI framework.

I joined the Rails Business Podcast to talk about how I got into Rails, the path from freelance work to running two small Rails-based businesses and lots more.

Lovely lunch and catchup with @bjessbrown.com

Yep, your selfie was better than mine :)

Any ruby, rails, or indie rails friends want to meetup?

Yea, good point. I chose a bad example.

This is better:

Job.where(status: 1)
.merge(
Job.where(state: 'GA').or(Job.where(region: 'N-FL'))
)

Job.where(status: 1).where(state: 'GA').or(Job.where(state: 'AL')) - NOPE - you'll get jobs in AL for all statuses.

ANSWER:

Job.where(status: 1).merge(
Job.where(state: 'GA').or(Job.where(state: 'AL'))
)

What if you want to write this query in AR?

select * from jobs where jobs.status = 1 AND (jobs.state = 'GA' or jobs.state = 'AL')

Job.where(status: 1).where(state: 'GA').or(state: 'AL') - NOPE

Thanks for taking the time with us Garrett. I learned a lot!

The #Ruby community is filled with some amazing people, and @jremsikjr.bsky.social stands out as one of my favorites. Our conversation covered numerous insightful topics, especially the discussion about permission, which resonated with me in particular. Check it out!

Thanks again for joining us, Jim! I always feel wiser after speaking with you. 😊

Ruby on Rails Podcast: Taking over Fireside.fm I was stoked when I discovered that the Ruby on Rails podcast is hosted on our platform – fireside.fm. So I reached out to Elise for feedback and to volunteer Garrett and I for an episode. We recorded last week and its already live today. Our chat covered taking over

🎙️ @garrettdimon.com and I were on the latest episode of the Ruby on Rails pod. Lots of good stories from taking over an older Rails app -- ruby and rails upgrades, redis upgrades, configuration tweaks, analytics, etc. Elise was a great host! Give it a listen.

Actually we had snow in the south so it’s totally acceptable 😆

Maybe people thought you were broadcasting from Aspen and had just come in from snowboarding

Indie rails getting a little Flagrant today @jremsikjr.bsky.social @jeremysmith.co

Always down to chat about buying businesses.

I loved hearing your stories Paul. I could’ve listened several more hours. Thanks for sharing.

Well said.
