- You MUST NOT try and generate a Rails app from scratch on your own by generating each file. For a NEW app you MUST use
rails new
first to generate all of the boilerplate files necessary. - Create an app in the current directory with
rails new .
- Use Tailwind CSS for styling. Use
--css tailwind
as an option on therails new
call to do this automatically. - Use Ruby 3.2+ and Rails 8.0+ practices.
- Use the default Minitest approach for testing, do not use RSpec.
- Default to using SQLite in development.
rails new
will do this automatically but take care if you write any custom SQL that it is SQLite compatible. - An app can be built with a devcontainer such as
rails new myapp --devcontainer
but only do this if requested directly. - Rails apps have a lot of directories to consider, such as app, config, db, etc.
- Adhere to MVC conventions: singular model names (e.g., Product) map to plural tables (products); controllers are plural.
- Guard against incapable browsers accessing controllers with `allo
An acquaintance needed a video kiosk that plays looping videos for an exposition booth. Since I have a bunch of Raspberry Pis lying around, I figured that it would be the perfect use case for using one of them.
Let's assume we start from scratch, with a unflashed, brand new SD card and your Raspberry Pi.
Install a version of Raspbian that includes the desktop. You can head over to : https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ and follow the instructions.
Once the image is downloaded, you can burn it to your SD card with tools like Etcher (https://www.balena.io/etcher/)

This is the latest version of an email which I send periodically, offering customers the opportunity to pre-pay for SaaS in return for a discount. The benefits to the SaaS company are better cash flow and reduced churn rate. The benefits to the customer are, well, in the email. This genre of email has produced hundreds of thousands of dollars in pre-pays for some companies I work with, and it rarely requires any more work than this example.
I've put $79 is as a placeholder for the cost of the user's plan. We calculate that for each account, naturally, along with the billing contact's name.
