It's not even 9am here and I already dropped a commit titled, "give up and explain myself".

Does that code give you 100% off if you use imperial?

I consider AR validations to be the API to get me a nice error message. And DB constraints to be the method to enforce what the validation is expressing.

Just for my curiosity -- I have the opportunity to give a 2-hour ish workshop. So, interactive, but not necessarily fully hands-on. Topic TBD.

What topics do you think it'd be interesting to hear me present about?

Smart choice by Irina. Unsurprising. Seems like the only kind of choice Irina tends to make.

Congrats. To you, but mostly to SF Ruby for having you join.

(Reposting from Mastodon so @inazarova.bsky.social sees it. She's well-deserving of the compliment.)

I liked @kevinjm.bsky.social 's talk about his journey through the community and speaking! I feel like it's validating for people who are trying to get more involved in the community, and an inspiring primer for people who are new!
