The best Rails devs don’t write clever code. They write boring code that never breaks.

Lol no, release it. If he's implicated, he can share a cell with Donnie

Claude Code? It's not a web UI but functionally seems to hit about the same target as Codex, at least when I looked at Codex last.

Yes

The current thing is deprecated and the new thing isn't production ready yet.

If I had a nickel...

Oh very cool

How much Ruby is there at Amazon?

The latter for sure. Max terseness isn't always the goal IMO.

I often ask myself "how long would it take a junior eng to understand this?" when I'm considering writing something clever rather than something obvious.

Circling before a flyover at the Braves game it seems

What's the suggested fix? This looks a bit like a normal cache to me, outside of the abysmal hit rate - but that's more a function of query patterns largely out of our control.

Is the idea that we should look to break up the SQL query into smaller parts that can be cached separately or something?

Interesting thought process, but I agree that it was probably an oversight by the interviewers. They more than likely were just trying to constrain you to those stdlib methods, not literally *any* method call.

I've noticed/concluded the same thing. Very strange.

Ahhhh "endless" meaning literally without the "end" keyword. I was expecting some kind of functional currying :D

These look like normal methods, but I must be missing something?

Gotcha makes sense!

Curious if you have thoughts on this re: relatively fresh Rails deploys? I'm in startup-land now, and we have a ~8 month old Rails app and 5 engineers. Any thoughts on setting up for architectural success over the next few years?

Can you expand on that? What is a "federated vision of modularity" here?

I've seen efforts at modularization fail like you're describing! And if I'm honest, I've never actually seen one succeed (small sample sizes though)

I found ya

Streets for cars are so inefficient it's honestly absurd
