What are you learning this week - June 25th, 2023
A little different from the "what are you building" pattern of posts. I found myself wanting to learn different aspects of Ruby on Rails outside of work, and I am curious what people are learning themselves.
Currently, I am learning Hotwire since I don't do much frontend work and we don't use it at work. In the past I've used Stimulus Reflex, and I am not sure which one I like more. That said, I am not sure if Stimulus Reflex still has a place given Hotwire's ascension in the RoR world.
I am also revisiting View Components as well and trying to decide if I want to use them over partials in my side project.
Personally I'm a huge Stimulus Reflex fan! It's unbelievable how easy it is to add live updates like magic!!
Other than that, I've been digging into Dockerizing a Rails app and how to do it properly for production, also learning about Kubernetes.
I've been interested in learning Hotwire for a while now. But it's been so many years since I've touched any Rails code, I'm afraid I have to relearn any Rails from scratch.
I want to watch this talk this week and learn more about Ractors.
