Debugbar For Ruby on Rails

Debugbar For Ruby on Rails

Source: debugbar.dev

Rails debugging dev tools for faster development. Inspect your request details (queries, logs, cache, jobs and more).

Notes:

This is super useful for rails apps. Will it work for other frameworks like Sinatra? I haven’t tried this yet but it looks promising.

An Introduction to LiteStack for Ruby on Rails | AppSignal Blog

An Introduction to LiteStack for Ruby on Rails | AppSignal Blog

Source: blog.appsignal.com

In the first part of this series, we'll set up an example Rails application and introduce the basics of LiteStack.

Notes:

A multi part series on the so called LiteStack. People seem to be coming back around to using SQLite for their production databases. This was the way it was a few years ago but then everyone decided that SQLite was a toy and we should use Postgres. Yes, it was a little more complicated and could cost a little more but we were clever enough to figure it out. Well I like this trend to ditching unnecessary complexity (“you are not Facebook”)

Jade Rubick - Unusual tips to keep Slack from becoming a nightmare

Jade Rubick - Unusual tips to keep Slack from becoming a nightmare

Source: rubick.com

Use the tips to improve your org's use of Slack: answers to questions should take longer than the time to look it up, notifications should go to a few people, the more people in a room, the more structured it should be. Plus a few more.

Notes:

We use slack a lot at work. These are some helpful tips to reduce noise and increase communication. When there are four different ways to communicate (email, slack, sms, and posting to a forum) you have a lot of wasted time. Yes each way has a slightly different purpose and effect, but four are too many!

4 Simple Ways to Integrate AI into Your Class

4 Simple Ways to Integrate AI into Your Class

Source: hbsp.harvard.edu

Incorporating gen AI tools like ChatGPT into your course doesn’t have to disrupt your teaching methods or overhaul your syllabus. If you’re hesitant to try, here are four ways to seamlessly introduce AI and ensure your classes remain dynamic and relevant.

Notes:

Really good idea. Try this prompt from this article: ““I am having a bit of a hard time with concepts related to early-stage financing. Please test me on the following: pre-money valuation, post-money valuation, investment size, and ownership stakes. I’d like you to ask me three questions in succession. Wait for my answer on each, and then assess my answer. Do not give me the answer, even if I ask. Instead, if I am struggling or get the wrong answer, please give me a hint. Start now with the first question.”
