Delivered highly customized Ecommerce platform in a week, with just 1 developer. Thanks to Ruby on Rails.

Have the #Ruby devs moved to #Go or #Python?

So many ex-Ruby devs out there these days.

Are there (m)any #RubyOnRails developers who actually use the functionality provided by net-imap and net-pop? They both come in as secondary dependencies of ActionMailer (through the Mail gem) and net-imap in particular has been a source of a bunch of CVE busywork. Keeping up with these gems produces a lot of overhead work with zero apparent gain. Am I missing something here?

How to automatically trigger a file download with Turbo?

A few weeks ago I was asking around for an invite to #FOSStodon for our #Koalagator calendar FOSS project only to have folks quickly tell me that drama was afoot.

Sounds like things have settled down https://hub.fosstodon.org/fosstodon-community-statement AND that the project has recommitted to being an inclusive space for marginalised communuties.

Very glad to hear this! Thanks @fosstodon team for all you've done and continue to do for the FOSS community, @Gina especially.

Now, about getting my project onto fosstodon. @Gina any chance of an invite?

Koalagator is a multi-year code revival project of a 10 year old much loved calendaring platform. We have big ambitions to make local community events easier to discover on the open web, away from big tech control.

Rails folk, my brain isn't working and I'm sure this is simple.

`<%= link_to @cat.name, @cat %>` will create a path /cats/1

This is what I want 99% of the time.

I have a couple of cats that I want to link to /bad-cats/1 with the exact same link_to code.

I was almost sure there was an equivalent of the `to_param` method I could override in the model that would tell Rails which routing to use when looking up `url_for`, but maybe not?

I've a view helper/solution written.
