vladcodes··on Show HN: Avo – Build Ruby on Rails apps faster
> "oh, you made an admin panel. I could build that in a few hours. we don't need it." and they never do.

I was never saying making anything with any technology is easy.

Developing with plain Rails and a minimum of gems is linearly difficult while developing with a set of DSL/generators like Avo can lead to a complexity spike from 1 to 11 in no time. And the worst thing — at a random stage of development.

From the business perspective of view, I really like it: it's a perfect example of a micro-project and I wish you the most of luck.

So much this.

I really can't understand all the excitement above, unless you're starting a new proof of concept daily (but then, the price looks ridiculous) and you're ready for the "buy now - pay later" way of development. If "move fast break things" is still the thing in 2022, then it makes more sense to just draft an MVP in html/js with something like Firestore as a backend?

Apart from higher compensation of your work, that’s the fun part of being a consultant, right? You get your payment and you move on.

Easy is a comparative evaluation.

To someone it's easy to recompile Nautilus with one of the thumbnails support patches or implement thumbnails generation via an external script.

Literally.

Is that a blog of someone from Trolltech? Tell them their site doesn't support OS-managed dark theme switching.

— No, using custom CSS isn't "dark mode"

I think you have just summoned Cthulhu.

Basically, what you are reading here is the marketing bs. Shopify would better invest in MRI silently. TruffleRuby? Don't be shy; just call it ShopifyRuby — the board sure like it.

Don't. It's not that amazing.

vladcodes··on Ukraine calls on hacker underground to defend against Russia
Please help to remove a separatist outrage symbolic

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0173GKOM2/ref=ox_sc_act_ti...

The item represents a pseudo-flag with a separatist connotation and outrages the Flag of Ukraine. Namely: the russian coat of arms on the National Flag of Ukraine with a provoking "Odesa Republic" (Одесская Республика) и "Novorossia" ("Новороссия") or "New Russia" labels.

This is NOT acceptable and the only usage of the item is separatism agitation, the outrage of the Ukrainian national symbols.
