@halfbyte good luck!

@alexanderadam it's not, but the service is free to use if anyone else wants to sign up :)

@putrasulistio89 welcome!

@alexanderadam I built something similar for my co-working space: https://spacelog.io

@floehopper FWIW I’m not opposed to writing system tests in JavaScript; it’s important that the team buys in to writing and maintaining them, and if that’s the compromise required, that’s fine by me. It’s just… so, so big…

@floehopper I have not! Have you used either?

Furthermore, it's recommended that you install cypress via npm, vendoring it in each project.

Got ten projects? Kiss 7GB of disk space goodbye.

I know that efficient disk space hasn't always been a top priority in the NPM world, but still, yeesh...

I'm a big believer in system tests, and I front-end developers I know really like Cypress, so this will be interesting to explore: https://gilesbowkett.com/blog/2020/10/09/cypress-rails-circle/

What's crazy about Cypress, though, is that the Cypress app is 704MB. That's one hell of a development dependency.

I agree with much of this article: https://www.rubypigeon.com/posts/my-beef-with-rubocop/

@jaredmoody 👋

Bonus mention of a great @tekin presentation too.

https://interblah.net/two-thoughts-about-maintainable-software - in which I take inspiration from @robbyrussell's latest podcast episode for a couple of thoughts about maintainable software

#ruby #maintanable

How much more of my disk space must I sacrifice to `node_modules`? All of it? :(

Thanks to new Patreon donor and member @fearoffish! Much appreciated! 🎉

TFW when _thought_ you'd pushed your branch and were waiting for the build results, only to realise after 30 minutes... you didn't.

@katmuss welcome!
