Very nice talk 😊

39:47 "React ideas like Shadow-DOM"... this dude doesn't know that the ShadowDom is an HTML5 thing not a react thing...

If i want to jump into Rails development - what path would you recommend? What is a good learning resource for beginners?

Great talk!

Very nice presentation!

17:53 that split and inefficiency also happens when “product management” is separated from software engineering.

Great talk, I've been using Rails for years and it was good to have a refresher on how far we've come with assets integration.

Impressive! This seems to be the best popular framework for web database development that I can currently see out there, right? Better than Laravel/PHP, or any Django-based stuff, right?

I FUCKING LOVE RAILS

Awesome feature!!!❤

Im looking for a mentor. For this language.

So rails goes to great lengths to provide maintainable html and you've just totally gone against the grain. Perhaps it would be better if you actually understood exactly what Rails is about before presenting this. It's definitely not for me

The best part of Tailwind -- you don't need to come up with those pesky names for CSS classes!

Dreams come true. Sprockets served us well for a long while but its time for Propshaft

Game changer!

Truly inspiring! Thanks for sharing

DHH is a great speaker and leader and I enjoy learning from hearing him speak.

This guy reminds me of the wag who had me rolling at his interview. Me: how well do you perform under pressure? Him: I don't really… but I can do a mean Bohemian Rhapsody.

Does anyone know how to use prettier for tailwind in rails? Just following instruction and making .prettierrc.json not works

This is reality nice language i suggest do something to promote rails in India.

Glad I found this because the rails guide at this point is totally confusing around this. Would be nice for this information to get there, because as I read them it sure seemed like Sprockets should be avoided if you did transpiling, but now I guess that's bad and we should convert to this wild propshaft setup? There's absolutely no mention of this gem in the Rails guides asset pipeline currently.

MiniScript could be both a perfect front-end and back-end programming language.

I tried it - and I really, really don’t like it!

Amazing, it was crystal clear. Big up from France

Very well explained, good code examples, history explanation. Finally I managed to understand how assets pipeline works 😄

👏👏👏

This is another GREAT presentation from this Rails day. Next time I got to be there!

I haven’t touched rails in 6-7 years. Now there’s Hotwire and turbo. Instead of using it in API only mode, I’m trying to actually do things “the rails way”. I’m really liking it so far. i can get so much done without writing any Javascript. Not that I dislike Javascript, but it’s so much quicker to use the conventions and framework magic than to write the code that would be required to do it manually myself.

I loved this talk. And I enjoy the philosophy that he pursues: everything always free to develop and maintain by the community, all no-build, all full-stack. I'm a Laravel developer for 10 years and I really wish its philosophy matches DHH one, but they only create more and more SaaS pay-per-use tooling. Amazing keynote :)

It's funny to watch someone talk about Scrum when they never really experienced it the way it was designed :) Your understanding/experience of Scrum is wrong at so many level 😅. And I can tell you, I am "using Shape Up" in my company, in a different way that you are describing, and this is bad. Because it's not used as it was designed. I am using agile frameworks since 2011, my first professional year, and everything that you describe as i can understand as "good solutions" I knew and did before discovering Shape Up. My point is that it's pointless to say that something is bad, just for the buzz. Simply offer an alternative, and don't use the competition as an argument. Mostly when the only new feature that Shape Up brings is the Appetite. And that is a great one ! The rest is already existing, just rebranded. 1. Shaping is called Product Backlog refinement. 2. Appetite, or "How much time I want to spend on this" is called Sprint. 3. Shapes and Scopes are called Product Backlog items (that the Scrum Guide explain that it is the accountability of the PO, but that they can delegate this - ie : within the team). 4. Cool-down is, in my opinion and experience, just a way to finish what was late. Which, I think, is not your intention. But if it is, I think it's a non-sense. PS : Writing is bad for detecting tone, so I want to insist in the fact that I'm saying this with the most friendly tone possible 🫶

Dint have anything on rails support for microservices

This is really cool stuff! Excited to become a RoR dev

Thanks for this amazing talk. For reader's knowledge, Ruby heap pages were 16kb for a long time (you will find a lot of resources saying they are 16kb) but this changed in late 2022 with Ruby 3.2 to 64kb, the update was made by Peter Zhu (speaker) :)

man I love Rails ❤

Why the hell does he keep laughing for no reason? Did this mofo inhale laughing gas or something?

Cool feature, but I'm going to have to pass. Too many changes to the way we do things. I fear how little support it'll have with other features and 3rd party libs.

2023 was a good year for rails talks ngl!

This was a good talk. Solid work ethic too. Thank you for all the work you keep doing for us.

soooooo goooood. thanks :)

During this video, I stopped a couple of times to check how I implemented things and could even improve some of my code! Thanks Chris!

if Jordan Peterson was a developer

i design and code. i love both. when i do one so much i bounce to the other and i never get tired of it.

So much gold in this talk! 😍 I really enjoyed it and definitely learned a few new tricks; thanks!

Eh, you could just do all this with JQuery instead. Haha, just kidding! Seriously great presentations, I have experience with hotwire and I learned some great new ways of using it from this; thanks! Keeping Ukraine in our thoughts 🇺🇦 ✊🏻

Awesome talk, thanks Adrianna

I use Rails only for the backend these days. Node won the frontend long time ago.

When I started using flexbox and grid I feel like superman. Than I started using them in tailwind now I feel like Voldemort with infinite powers.

Great talk! Think i need to read the book.

this guy is baked 24/7
