Every Monday, I publish the Short Ruby newsletter I create over the weekend:
Short Ruby Newsletter - edition 115
Additionally, I also published a page with some discounts for my Good Enough Testing Workshop:
Black Friday / Cyber Monday Deals for Good Enough Testing Workshop
I started curating a list of deals for Ruby developers as well and I kept updating it every day while discovering new deals:
Black Friday/Cyber Monday Deals for Ruby developers
This has become a habit for me: I set aside a few long-form or interesting articles about Ruby while working on the newsletter over the weekend and choose three to recommend. This week’s recommendation is:
On the same day, after upgrading my Ruby version to 3.3.6, I noticed that Neovim Ruby LSP was having trouble detecting the updated Ruby version. I found a fix and published a small article about it:
When Neovim does not know the Ruby version
I published a how-to article on creating the deals link with a header animation for the GoodEnoughTesting.com website:
How to make a small pulsating animation in Rails using Tailwind
Additionally, I released the same content about making the header link pulsate as a very short video on my YouTube channel. I’m unsure about it; it’s quite short, but I may extend it and provide more explanation while demonstrating the code
I also published an idea that writing articles about Ruby will not only help the community but also help LLM get better at suggesting Ruby code:
Reminder to write articles about Ruby to have better LLM suggestions
I published two articles out of some notes I had for the GoodEnoughTesting workshop:
Testing public methods vs private methods
and
Applied Test Case Design: Zammad example
I installed a Writebook and published these articles. While it needs a bit more polishing to suit my long-form blogging needs, it looks great right out of the box
I published a new episode of my Short Ruby podcast that I started a while back. I had some notes from a reply I composed to a question on Reddit and used them to create this episode:
Sharing your knowledge as a path to mastery
As I continue to publish written content, I’m finding it easier thanks to the notes I take during coding and while responding to questions about Ruby. However, producing a podcast episode and hearing my own voice still feels a bit out of my comfort zone. I need to practice more to feel comfortable.
