You're badly misinformed (or are intentionally spreading misinformation).

Square was originally a single RoR monolith. We spent a decade burning it to the ground with a Java and Go microservice architecture.

Some product surface area remains Ruby, but Ruby was chased away by most teams.

Square brought in a lot of Xooglers over the years to lead the transition, so you see a lot of Google tech: protobufs, gRPCs, at one point a pre-Kubernetes Borg clone, etc.

I can vouch for at least one of those companies especially if we go by the "trying" bit of the GP.

Your claim would have more standing if 1) it made sense vs. the news and recent yearslong turn away from Ruby development, and 2) if you included any sources or information other than "nuh uh"

'Download Github and look at the code'?

Crystal is great! Which LLMs were used in that project? In my short and not very recent experience the LLM frequently mixed up Crystal and Ruby in the code they write.

Cursor with defaults, I guess mostly `cursor-small`. Typically I write and adjust function names or signatures and let tab-complete draft the code and propagate refactors.

It does mix up Crystal and Ruby, but the compiler catches it.

That matches my experience, so I guess it may be a decent experience for someone new to the language and a bit more frustrating for someone more experienced on it (like me).

You should keep a log of all the failures and then have an LLM form a patch-doc that fixes the Crystal codegen behavior in context. Your failure rate will go way way down.

Missing the "under construction" gif, a visits counter, and... goatse.

I miss the days when I would be a dumbass teenager online and somebody would, appropriately, send me to goatse or meatspin or something.

Nowadays if you are a dumbass teenager online, YouTube funnels you into some bizarre extremism political thing instead.

So today you woke up and chose violence? :-)

I missed seeing what the developer experience of the RubyMine debugger would be for this specific problem. Mentioning its advantages is good, but you have the perfect chance to putting it into action in front of your audience!

As for USB cables, I replaced all of them with a set of decent USB-C cables plus a few sets of “USB-C to *” adapters.

I now have a small box with separate sections for the adapters, plus a zip bag with USB-C cables that takes 20% of the space and fits 80% (and growing) of my use cases.

I’m a developer whose experience with SQL is limited to writing basic queries, window functions and combining those with CTEs.

All my business logic is written in a highly expressive language. It’s conveniently easy to read, change, and test.

And still, I’d like to learn how to implement complex business logic within the realm of my database so I can use it when appropriate.

What resources would you recommend for learning and practicing to write business logic in SQL, including good practices and testing?

Whoah. That's an excellent video, and it shows how this was far more complicated than the simplified diagram in Wikipedia: the device was over 300 meters long!

Indeed, the diagram (and the wiki text too?) don't make it clear how many towers were involved, so it looks a more complicated solution that would be needed.

The power transmission to the spoons remind me of the rod line powered jack pumps in early oil fields. You can still find 100 year old wells with that kind of power distribution but they are rare
