Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

Getting started

So to get started we're starting with an app that has Bootstrap installed and then we created a Main controller with an index view which is where we will list our Notifications as for this example.

Before we generate our channels let's install a few things

# General Ruby Styling
PREFER_RUBY_SYNTAX: >
  - Use Ruby 3.x syntax
  - Use snake_case for methods and variables
  - Use CamelCase for classes and modules
  - Use SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE for constants
  - Prefer string interpolation over concatenation
  - Use modern hash syntax: { key: value }
  - Use double quotes only when interpolation is needed
