    I'm releasing RSchema v3 today. Still needs more docs around coercion, but I feel like it's pretty solid.

    I enjoy Gary Bernhardt's "make X in 1 hour" videos/streams. It's not a common format, but I wonder how popular it could be as a series.

    Likewise, being "easy to use" is not an excuse for crazy spaghetti architecture underneath. Code can be well designed AND easy to use.

    Simple vs easy is not a binary choice. Being well designed is not an excuse for a bad beginner experience, lacklustre tooling, and bad docs.

    Hot damn, sqlite sucks at schema modification. Can't alter columns. Renaming a table requires RECREATING ALL OTHER TABLES that reference it.

    I would expect `define_method` to fail if the method name contains bad chars, like '.'

    Is this intended behaviour? irb(main):001:0> String.send(:define_method, :'a.b'){ 5 } => :"a.b" irb(main):002:0> 'hi'.send(:'a.b') => 5

    Nah, this one is better solved by thinking in data: { rock: :scissors, scissors: :paper, paper: :rock, }.fetch(move1) == move2

    Stop Using Case Statements in Ruby: (Use polymorphism instead.)
