Just came to my mind that the sentence “ma tua nonna is a quesadilla!” was said last friday at Rubycon and I was there to hear it. This is the content I paid the ticket for, highly recommended, 11/10 would attend again. @rubyconitaly.bsky.social

On one side I am very annoyed that my 2012 perfectly working kindle will apparently stop working, on the other I am very attracted by buying a new Kindle since they last so long! I will most probably just jailbreak it and keep using it.

I wrote about what I call "live tests". An example on how we run automated tests on the *live* environment after deployment in Ruby on Rails. This can be particularly useful in some contexts. Enjoy! coorasse.com/blog/live-te... #rubyonrails
