Here's what I've been working on—it's called Terminalwire.

It's a new way to build command-line interfaces for web apps that doesn't require an API, which dramatically reduces the complexity of shipping a CLI.

DMs are open if you're an org wanting to simplify CLI development.
Terminalwire will work with all major web frameworks, but I'm currently building it for @rails first because of the communities obsession with "compressing the complexity of modern web apps."

This is like "Hotwire for CLI apps"

More on the website.

@rails I'm building Terminalwire differently this time—instead of kicking it off with a self-service product, I want to work with orgs that want to ship a CLI or dramatically simplify their CLI development process.

DMs or brad@terminalwire.com are open if that's you.
If you're not building command-line interfaces for web apps, you can still be a HUGE help by telling me which web apps you wish had a CLI (@linear app anybody? 👀), share this within your team, or RT.

🙏

CLI development will be so easy, it will be a crime to not have one.

Sr Rails devs describe Rails as being the easiest and most productive way to build web apps. Meanwhile @joemasilotti @excid3 & others discuss how we’re losing a generation of Jr Rails devs because its daunting.

Can both be true?

Here’s my story on how Rails is losing Jrs.

📖👇
But first, this is NOT a list of complaints—it’s meant to open the eyes of Sr devs to the idea that Rails has strayed from its promise of “convention over configuration” and how other frameworks have caught up to Rails over the past decade.

🧸 Assets: a tale of a menu that got too big

Do you use importmaps? js-bunding? css-bunlding? js-bundling *and* css-bundling? What if you need to switch from importmaps to js-bundling? What’s sprockets and propshaft?

There was a time when Rails had one asset pipeline: Sprockets Image

Got the prototype working!

The form object tracks which fields you’ve used, creates a permitted params hash, signs it, and stuffs it into a hidden `permitted_params` input field.

When the form is submitted, Rails verifies the params and stuffs them into `params.permit`
K time for some code!

First up? Here’s what a form can look like that’s implemented with phlex.fun once you get an ApplicationForm setup. Image
How do I call that form? From a controller! Check out the `new` action and the `form` method and you’ll see how I initialize the form.

Sidenote: you don’t need instance variables if you use phlex.fun for your views, which cleans things up nicely in controllers. Image

Here we go... the VC world talking about “surving hard times” with advice given in lots of words that can be summed up as “be prudent with your money”

I went through YC in S08, known unofficially as “the worst YC class”. It’s when the “RIP good times” Sequoia deck went out.👇
What did we do with our company? We started to raise a small round, but half way through sent everybody their checks back because the amount of revenue we brought in from our customers that year was roughly equal. I called this Customer Capital funding.
The way we funded our work was by keeping an internal product backlog and putting a phone number on our website. If a customer called wanting something aligned with our backlog, we’d give them a quote, collect their money, and build it for them. It’s not rocket science.
