Article nicely written, great overview of Rails current state. Kudos to the author.

Hello Marius, I reached out to you by email or Feb's Ask HN, did you get my email? seb[at]saunier[dot]me. Thank you!

Personally, I am really happy to see the following items landing in Rails 8:

- Solid Queue & Cache by default (no need for Redis)

- Propshaft as default asset pipeline (retiring Sprockets)

- Basic auth generator (will Devise still be useful for new apps?)

- Kamal by default for new applications

Simplifying Web Development and even more sane defaults in Rails makes me really happy!

ankane’s gems are truly something.

Scalingo is a great European-based Heroku alternative, reusing the buildpacks and 12factor approach, it’s very easy to migrate to!

We did: https://scalingo.com/customers/le-wagon

It's not: https://twitter.com/dhh/status/1334916143010680833

For those on Rails, do yourself a favor and add this great engine: https://github.com/ankane/blazer

Life-changing!

As suggested, encapsulate your prediction model in a web service, then calling it from Rails would be a good way to go.

An other way is to use something like Faktory (https://contribsys.com/faktory/) on top of Redis. You push jobs from Rails and then you pull them from Python to execute. Then Python can enqueue another job with the result which gets consumed by Rails (async callback).

I have the same experience with Sinatra and Rails. A small app in Sinatra grew larger than expected so we added gems basically recreating Rails... Lesson learnt, going with rails new now!

Did you try using a safety pin to remove dust from the USB port? Works everytime with a bunch of friends who had an SE but could not charge it properly.

Still works on macOS Mojave, and I use it everyday. True email client not relying on any third-party API / company to work.

We have been using Front since 2014 at Le Wagon. The goal was to be able to handle our [email protected] inbound email as a team (3 seats in 2014, 7 now). I considered Zendesk but it felt a bit too overkill for our usage.

You can view Front as a shared Gmail Inbox where you can assign messages to teammates and have private discussions on top of email threads.

They recently added Front Chat which we used to replace the Intercom Chat on https://www.lewagon.com - This way the team only uses one tool (Front) to handle incoming chats or emails.

We've been a customers for 3+ years and are really happy! Congrats on the Series B!

At Le Wagon, we had the same need for our students, but we took advantage of the built-in Rails Templates features. Super handy!
