Ruby on Rails: Use a datetime instead of a boolean database field
Learn why using a datetime instead of a boolean in your Rails models gives you more useful data for almost no extra cost.
While working on a project for work with #rubyonrails, I learned that it may be better to use a datetime field instead of a boolean field when tracking whether something happened.

They are promoting self-hosting which is amazing. At the same time they are pushing people away from the SaaS ideology by offering one time payments and full product ownership. It is interesting to see a company moving away from the standards and "inventing" new things.

I am not old enough to have witnessed it, but damn its true. DHH (Ruby on Rails creator) has pointed this out and moved the framework in this "host it yourself" mentality, which is good to see.

That was interesting to read, I really like your 1212 concept. When did you start learning rails?

They are super useful for me. I think people generally learn more by doing. If you put the exercises in github - even better. Just because if people get stuck they can take a look at the answers. When is your book coming out?
