TestBench - a new test framework for Ruby from the creators of Eventide:

Today was one of those fascinating days when you spend eight hours hunting down stale cache and redundant model associations in huge and quite legacy codebase.

#devlog This weekend I finally finished working on Heroku buildpack for #janetlang / Joy framework. The background job using jurl (curl wrapper for Janet) works with Heroku scheduler. Still need to write some readme and properly cache curl upgrade compilation.

So I built my first "web app" in #janetlang

I'm not gonna lie, this wasn't easy, but in the end quite rewarding. Lot's of low-level stuff (for example pg driver does not handle date, because Janet does not have date type, so you have to do it manually).

It's been a while since I wrote a blog post. Here's one from few days ago about using profiling tools to understand how Ruby apps work: https://katafrakt.me/2020/05/03/understanding-ruby-app-with-profiling/

Interesting thread on Twitter about Rails, Spring and Bootsnap: https://twitter.com/avdi/status/1256743699859603457

Personally I think Bootsnap is pretty good, although it does not need to be added right away for every Rails app. Spring on the other hand only causes problems.

Current #ruby status: trying to write PEG grammar to parse SDLang documents using Parslet.

This is surprising, but Zoom works sooo much better on Linux than on MacOsX.

I decided to create an account on ruby.social, so: hello all!

I had previous mastodon account but nothing really going on there, so I probably won't bother with a proper migration.
