3by7··on Shopify, pulling strings at Ruby Central, forces Bundler and RubyGems takeover
You're badly misinformed (or are intentionally spreading misinformation).
3by7··on LLMs and Elixir: Windfall or deathblow?
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).
3by7··on LLMs and Elixir: Windfall or deathblow?
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.

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

3by7··on Mastering Ruby debugging: From puts to professional tools
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!

Nosferatu
3by7··on Ask HN: How do you organize and store your cables?
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.

3by7··on Can we take a moment to appreciate the simplicity of Structured Query Language?
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?

> Netflix killed Torrents.

Not really.

3by7··on The Twelve-Factor App (2011)
In retrospect, a better name for that section could have been "Separate config from code" as it says in one of the first paragraphs.
3by7··on An Introduction to LiteStack for Ruby on Rails
Very compelling architecture for projects that don't require massive horizontal scaling. Those looking for replicas/backups can add Litestream https://litestream.io
3by7··on PgCompute: New PostgreSQL Client-Side Extension for Database Functions
Very cool!

Are there any performance trade-offs?

Has anyone run in it production environments?

It would be fantastic to see a sample repo showing how a small web app shares part of the business logic with PG.

Have you tried adding a `.crystal-version` file as described in the buildpack's README? https://github.com/crystal-lang/heroku-buildpack-crystal#cry...
