Yes, this is Godfrey again. I am glad a lot of you found last week's Cool Trick™ useful. However, wouldn't life be pretty boring if you just keep getting useful information? So I figured I would change things up a bit by delivering you an issue full of bad puns, dad jokes and other useless information. Let's get to it!
When confronted about code bloat, DHH does not take it lightly. This week, he pulled another one of those moves by committing the content of The Flash into the Rails codebase.
Chirag Singhal decided to stir up some drama here by sending browsers a HTTP 307 "YOU JUST DON'T GET IT" status code when upgrading POST/PUT/DELETE requests to HTTPS connections.
When Bogdan Gusiev dived into the AR::Relation code base, he was not pleased with what he saw. After making some tweaks in this PR, he seemed happy with the result. Why?
Amadeus Folego identified tag_options as a hotspot in his application and decided to help improve its performance by throwing in some frozen strings. Cool!
Coming back from his vacation, Rafael Reggiani Manzo redis™covered a new dependency for developing Rails. To ease the shock for the next person, he added the setup instructions to the guides.
Last but not least, Eileen M. Uchitelle committed a key error this week.
Wrapping Up
That's all from me this week, I hope you find this information useless! For a more informative view, check out (no pun intended) the commits here.
Okay, please don't unsubscribe! 😭 Your favorite rotation of editors will be back starting next week to replace me, so I'm sure things will get better from here!
