Working in this app which most of its internals is dealing with Stripe payments, and I'm so glad that I used VCR for tests instead of stubbed requests. You only get to know what breaks from time to time by making real requests. I've fixed lots of stuff by just running tests that otherwise would have broke in production.

A lot of folks use the expression "Rails magic", as if Rails was doing some witchery stuff beyond human understanding.

But it's not.

Rails is just classes and methods, like any other Ruby program. Calling this "magic" makes it harder to understand that anything Rails does for you can be removed, changed or overwritten.

Seriously considering buying an ErgoDox EZ keyboard. Health is first, and my wrist hurts too often even though I use a semi-ergonomic keyboard. Sometimes it has even affected my guitar playing.

I'm going to watch the review by Xavier Noria, who spends 20 minutes explaining his layout choice.

Imagine for a sec that money is not a problem (it is, but forget): what laptop other than Apple would you buy for software development?

PS: I'm considering 1) just having a laptop for work (currently I have a meh laptop and a nice desktop) and 2) leave Apple/macOS behind and switch to Linux.

I asked Steve (@docbaty) at the after-party last night if he thought my opening keynote at @UXAustralia would lose him sponsors next year. His response brought tears to my eyes. Be like Steve.

“So if people heard the message that you said, Aral, in your keynote and their response was ‘well I want nothing to do with that conference’, well in all honesty, fuck ‘em.” – @docbaty

Do you work in a company with let's say 15-50 developers? Do you have anything published on how to keep pull-requests and code reviews manageable?
