Hello World!

The first post in my new blog. How exciting!

puts "Hello World!"

I have quite a big backlog of thoughts, notes, code snippets, posts, tools, and other resources that I have been collecting over the years that I would like to share. Over the next few months, I will be converting those rough drafts that have been collecting dust into readable blog posts. The primary goal is to help get my ideas “on paper” so to speak for the benefit of learning. My hope is to use the blog as an excuse to convert my rough drafts and notes into something more refined that can more easily be referenced by myself or others. Lastly, I would also like to pay it forward as others have done for me in the past. Inspired by the many blogs that have helped me learn and grow as a developer:

• Michael Hartl
• Akshay Khot
• AppSignal Blog
• Boring Rails
• Ruby on Rails Monthly
• Ruby on Rails Weekly

And countless other blogs, podcasts, screencasts, tutorials, and other resources.

The topics I plan to cover include; Ruby, Rails, web development, web design, developer tools, and occasionally other topics.

Below are some examples of posts I would like to cover:

• Benchmarking in Rails
• Benchmarking in Ruby
• Custom Error Classes in Rails
• Adapter Design Patterns in Rails
• Bruno API Client (developer tool)
• Rails Inflections
• Memoizing Expensive Operations in Ruby
• API Keys and the Rails Cache
• Count vs Length vs Size in Rails
• Nil vs Blank vs Empty in Rails
• Exists vs Any vs All in Rails
• …

See you in the next post!
