// This code is to be used with https://turbo.hotwire.dev. By default Turbo keeps visited pages in its cache
// so that when you visit one of those pages again, Turbo will fetch the copy from cache first and present that to the user, then
// it will fetch the updated page from the server and replace the preview. This makes for a much more responsive navigation
// between pages. We can improve this further with the code in this file. It enables automatic prefetching of a page when you
// hover with the mouse on a link or touch it on a mobile device. There is a delay between the mouseover event and the click
// event, so with this trick the page is already being fetched before the click happens, speeding up also the first
// view of a page not yet in cache. When the page has been prefetched it is then added to Turbo's cache so it's available for
// the next visit during the same session. Turbo's default behavior plus this trick make for much more responsive UIs (non SPA).

Pre-commit hook - Validate Syntax for Ruby files
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
=begin
A hook to make sure that all staged .rb files are syntatically correct.
The hook tries to run `ruby -c file_path` for all those files and
prints outs the errors if any and halts the commit.
If you want to use this pre-commit, simply copy the code and create a
file called 'pre-commit' inside your .git/hooks directory.

Failsafe: degrade user experience and notify when something goes wrong.

Failsafe

When something goes wrong I want to degrade the user experience (instead of returning a 500 - Server Error) And I want to be notified about the failure

Usage

Wrap non mission critical code:

How to create a Ruby gem that adds Rake tasks

How to create a Ruby gem that adds Rake tasks

Create a gem

One way to do this is to use bundler to scaffold our gem:

bundler gem my_gem

Add rake tasks to our gem

I prefer to put tasks meant to manage the gem itself in lib/tasks, and tasks the gem is meant to provide to gem users in lib/my_gem/tasks.

Array Iteration

While attempting to explain JavaScript's reduce method on arrays, conceptually, I came up with the following - hopefully it's helpful; happy to tweak it if anyone has suggestions.

Intro

JavaScript Arrays have lots of built in methods on their prototype. Some of them mutate - ie, they change the underlying array in-place. Luckily, most of them do not - they instead return an entirely distinct array. Since arrays are conceptually a contiguous list of items, it helps code clarity and maintainability a lot to be able to operate on them in a "functional" way. (I'll also insist on referring to an array as a "list" - although in some languages, List is a native data type, in JS and this post, I'm referring to the concept. Everywhere I use the word "list" you can assume I'm talking about a JS Array) This means, to perform a single operation on the list as a whole ("atomically"), and to return a new list - thus making it mu
