Cursor with defaults, I guess mostly `cursor-small`. Typically I write and adjust function names or signatures and let tab-complete draft the code and propagate refactors.

It does mix up Crystal and Ruby, but the compiler catches it.

That matches my experience, so I guess it may be a decent experience for someone new to the language and a bit more frustrating for someone more experienced on it (like me).

Windfall, for those who want it.

LLMs were fantastic for writing a project[0] in a new, niche language[1]. They help write any missing libraries. They help iterate when I get stuck on language aspects. They explain concepts as well as the median SO post, and much better than the posts that don't exist.

Crystal is great! Which LLMs were used in that project? In my short and not very recent experience the LLM frequently mixed up Crystal and Ruby in the code they write.

A little overacted, it reminds me of the voice acting in those flash cartoons you'd see in the early days of YouTube. That's not to say it isn't good work, it still sounds remarkably human. Just silly humans :)

There's a general pattern of:

    - People inventing new technologies to not write SQL   
    - People inventing ways to avoid writing HTML

I feel like the solution to both of these is just to stick to SQL / HTML as for both of these there's a lot of resources, tooling and knowledge and they will not go away. They are transferable between languages, projects and whatever tooling companies are using.

  - People inventing new technologies to avoid writing CSS

I missed seeing what the developer experience of the RubyMine debugger would be for this specific problem. Mentioning its advantages is good, but you have the perfect chance to putting it into action in front of your audience!

As for USB cables, I replaced all of them with a set of decent USB-C cables plus a few sets of “USB-C to *” adapters.

I now have a small box with separate sections for the adapters, plus a zip bag with USB-C cables that takes 20% of the space and fits 80% (and growing) of my use cases.

I’m a developer whose experience with SQL is limited to writing basic queries, window functions and combining those with CTEs.

All my business logic is written in a highly expressive language. It’s conveniently easy to read, change, and test.

And still, I’d like to learn how to implement complex business logic within the realm of my database so I can use it when appropriate.

What resources would you recommend for learning and practicing to write business logic in SQL, including good practices and testing?
