@csara I'm sorry. I'll be thinking of you.

@jardo I agree! There's additional context not shared in the post though, due to my undying love to make a ridiculous fantasy land for each blog.

This started from someone nerd-sniping me and asking what order the callbacks run when one of the callbacks is defined in a concern. This post serves to answer that question (so the use of callbacks AND concerns is non-negotiable).

However, do you feel it leans too strongly towards a recommendation/endorsement of the approach?

@mzagaja thanks for letting me know this was helpful.

Don't forget our meetup, this coming up Tuesday! April 29 at 12PM Eastern 💐

👋 Meet our April speaker Liz Pine, Liz is a senior software engineer at Spring Health where she gets to write Ruby and spends too much time obsessing over object design.Based in NYC, she spends most of her time equally obsessed with counting steps.

@jardo well that's...something. I shared this with Kit, FWIW.

I don't like being in the business of telling people how to consume information (so happy to have you as a newsletter subscriber). But if you do want to subscribe to my site directly in feedbin, I have a RSS feed.

You may get an additional off-topic article or two per email cycle. So the newsletter may be a better filter for you - just want to share the option.

It has been 0 days since I wrote a Ruby class with a new method and was confused why my constructor wasn't expecting my arguments. (The class needs to define the initialize method rather than new.)

I've been writing #Ruby for over 10 years. It happens.

Are you communicating with Snowflake with your #ruby or #rails app? What are you using to set up that connection?
