In Ruby, there's a misconception about Bang 💥 methods(map!, upcase!, gsub!, ...) that the ! exists because it mutates the variable. The Bang(!) in a method is a code convention to warn you that their behavior differs from their normal version (example: map! for map). 👀👇 pic.twitter.com/M3AIX94pOc

Where does everyone usually put their POROs? I know a lot of Rails apps have a services folder (not my preference). I sometimes organize by design pattern. That gets kind of silly sometimes though. Is lib an appropriate place for POROs?

Rails provides a `Configurable` concern that lets you add configuration options on classes. It uses `OrderedOptions` behind the scenes, so you can use the method-like syntax. pic.twitter.com/3iWiPciWLl

🧵 (3/4) Finally, I just read the slides and am watching a talk by Cameron Dutro (@camertron) entitled “Advanced Arel: When ActiveRecord Just Isn't Enough”. The talk was given 8 years ago, but is still 100% relevant today. I cannot recommend it enough to anyone using Rails + SQL

⚡️ Database Tip Tag searching can be done wholly differently: You can store the tag primary keys in a JSON array and effectively search for overlapping tag ids or missing ones without very complex joins. A single where instead of multiple (slow) joins to do the same thing. pic.twitter.com/XrLACz33NE

Ruby object count rules of thumb: <10,000 = don't sweat it 10k->100,000k = might matter if you loop, but also don't worry about it 100k->1mil = reducing objects would speed this up considerably 1mil->10mil = This is increasing your process' memory + is v. slow >10mil = ☠️
