I've been playing with jq, and I've been having a hard time finding examples of how it works with output from a service like AWS (which I use a lot).

Here is one I use a lot with vagrant-ec2.

When we're launching and killing a lot of instances, the AWS API is the only way to track down which instances are live, ready, dead, etc.

To find instances that are tagged with e.g. {"Key" = "Name", "Value" = "Web-00'} in the middle of a vagrant dev cycle, or a prod launch/replace cycle, you can do something like this:

Commands to keep your app healthy, Ruby and Rails gems wise.

Open new Terminal, note the gemsets showing:

rvm gemset list

You will see you are using the (default) gemset.
Keep your system up to date with rvm and brew:

rvm get head

Setup

Replace IRB with Pry (in your Gemfile) and Byebug with pry-byebug.

gem 'pry-rails', group: [:development, :test]
gem 'pry-byebug', group: [:development, :test]

Using PRY

Last year I started playing around with using memoized private helper methods in my controllers instead of the traditional instance variable assigns we see in RoR controllers. Here's an example:

class PostsController < ApplicationController
  helper_method :new_post, :post, :posts
  
  def new; end
  def show; end
  def edit; end
 def index; end

	require 'rails_helper'

	RSpec.describe TodosController, :type => :controller do

	describe "GET #index" do
	#describe "POST #create" do
	#describe "GET #show" do
	#describe "PATCH #update" do (or PUT #update)
	#describe "DELETE #destroy" do
	#describe "GET #new" do

	A TestRunner for use with the Python unit testing framework. It
	generates a tabular report to show the result at a glance.

	The simplest way to use this is to invoke its main method. E.g.

	import unittest
	import TestRunner

	... define your tests ...
