Indexing

By default, simply adding the call 'searchkick' to a model will do an unclever indexing of all fields (but not has_many or belongs_to attributes).

In practice, you'll need to customize what gets indexed. This is done by defining a method on your model called search_data

def search_data

How to succeed in hiring without really hazing

Tech job interviews suck. Make them suck less to attract better peoople.

You aren't a big fan of the typical tech interview process. Why not?

Mainly because success or failure in the interview is often not well-correlated to success in the actual role. Objective-sounding criteria are often more capricious than they appear at first glance, and can easily filter out excellent engineers, and are often a better indicator of who did the best interview prep than anything else.

Redirecting a Git repository

Let's say you have a project depending on a private git repository that your CI server needs access to, or a third-party developer.

In our case, it's an Elixir dependency in our Mix.exs file that looks like this:

{:my_private_dependency, git: "[email protected]:original-organization/my_private_dependency.git", ref: "46de95907bc4e636acd798ba19c43138f72199de"},

	def flatten_hash(hash={}, context="", new_hash={})
	hash.each do \|key, value\|
	flattened_key = context.empty? ? key : "#{context}_#{key}"
	if value.respond_to? :key
	flatten_hash(value, flattened_key, new_hash)
	else
	new_hash[flattened_key]=value
	end
	end
	new_hash

	select v.name, max(n.inserted_at)
	from variables v
	left join notifications n on v.id = n.variable_id
	where tenant_id = 2
	group by v.name
	having max(n.inserted_at) < '2020-02-28 12:25:07.000000'
	or max(n.inserted_at) is null --disjunction clause
