Coming soon I sat down with @jeremysmith.co for what I thought would be 90 minutes. Four hours later, we were still talking. We talked about building products no one's buying, choosing family over money, and what it means to be a "nurturer" in tech. The Expert Bench -Episode 2

Had an issue building 2FA with Rails ActiveRecord encryption. For some reason it worked well in dev, staging & not in prod. I blame docker :) Now it works, every Rails Expert can enable 2FA using their favourite auth app and it would create 10 backup codes 🥳 #workinprogress

Working with YAML and I wanted hot reloading with hotwire spark! Created config/initializers/hotwire_spark.rb Rails.application.configure do … config.hotwire.spark.html_extensions += %w[yml yaml] config.hotwire.spark.enabled = true … end These will enable the hot reloading & monitor YAML files.

What do you use for email-to-email system? I tried postmark, but no luck. And I want to avoid other external service. Looking at Hey's(email from 37signals) email headers I see, home-mx.app.hey.com Got me thinking, IMAP polling with Rails 8, solid queue, is a solid solution. Any ideas !!?
