2️⃣ This is an OSS repo created by @alexrudall that contains companies that are using Ruby as a programming language github.com/alexrudall/awe…
3️⃣ is a project created by Gustavo Valenzuela @GV1180 and contains a list of companies using Ruby on Rails from “single-owner startups to industry giants”. startupsonrails.com
4️⃣ is a project maintained by Yohei Yasukawa @yasulab (and other people by I could not find more data so far) and they display a list of companies using Ruby that fit some specific criteria.
You can add your company by using the Add Your Company button toprubycompanies.info
5️⃣ builtwithruby.com is a project created by Ganesh K @gkunwar1 and contains a showcase of Ruby on Rails projects made by people from all over the world.
You can add your own company or product via Github issues and choose New Project Submit github.com/gkunwar/BuiltW…
ruby-companies.org is a project created by Calvin Walzel and contains a list of companies that are using Ruby and it adds extra tags if they use Rails, Hotwire and Stimulus.
PS: This is not a top :) I added a number in front of some of them just to balance the negative points of including a link in the post with an emoji and an image. I am not 100% sure it makes any difference but I tried it

When learning #Ruby on #Rails, you might learn RSpec or Minitest, know their DSLs and how to use the them to write model, controller, or integration tests.
There is often a gap in learning how to write good test cases. To address this, I am excited to prelaunch a workshop
What does it mean to test a feature or a piece of code?
How do you know that the tests you wrote will actually catch bugs?
How many tests are enough?
I am launching the preview of a workshop that I am creating:
Good Enough Testing for #Ruby Developers
In this works I will focus on the following objectives
Consider a list of predicates for an object and the fact that there is a logical priority of considering them.
This is just an example, so please do not focus on the requirements themselves.
Left side contains a case statement without a case condition and the right side the same logic implemented with if/else.
Which one do you prefer and why?
Here is an alternative (right side) using guard clauses instead of if/else.
Which one do you prefer and why?
So let's talk about #testing and #Ruby and specifically about test design.
I think this could be a good conversation to sparkle so I am going to start sharing more about what I think about testing with some focus on Ruby and Ruby on Rails.
I will start with testing guidelines
I think it is important when speaking about tests to think about 3 situations a developer can be when dealing with tests:
1️⃣ Verify requirements/document how it works
That is when writing the feature code and want to verify either (a) requirements and/or (b) document how it works.
2️⃣ When changing the existing logic
When you have a change request and you have to change the code and adapt the tests.
3️⃣ When debugging
When time passes, and you have a bug and want to fix it. The details of both the code and test are fuzzy and there can be time pressure
Ruby is on the rise according to the Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2023! Here are some insights I extracted from survey results:
In the Most Popular Technology section, Ruby's adoption has grown to 6.23% in 2023, up from 6.05% in 2022. For professional developers, it's even higher at 6.94%
However, for those learning to code, Ruby adoption is slower, at 2.55% in 2023, only slightly up from 2.52% in 2022. The good news is that more beginner-friendly content is being created.
What follows assumes you already know how to program in any other programming language.
1. Ruby Syntax:
First, read a bit about the Ruby syntax. You can find a short introduction to Ruby. (shameless plug) I tried to collect a lot of resources here, but you can also find some resources here. Do some small exercises if you feel like it just to get the syntax.
2. Watch some videos of Sandi Metz.
I recommend starting with SOLID Object-Oriented Design by Sandi Metz:
Some things might make sense, some not.
No worries, this is just a kind of preparation for your thinking process about how to code in Ruby.
