Why not use docker? Yeah, I know, docker is cool and everything. But it might happen that you can’t use it or just don’t want in this basic project. Why should I care? It’s just a basic Rails project? Even the most basic of the projects will have dependencies Let’s face it, even on a basic Rails project you probably gonna to manage ruby version, database version, redis version, nodejs/yarn, etc....
Test/Lint only what matters
Test/Lint only what matters I mean, every thing matters. But, that’s why we have CI, when you’re working a very large project usually is very hard to run all the tests or lint all the files of the project locally. But would be nice to run tests/lint only for the files I changed/created on your feature branch, right?! Right!? What files did I change in my feature branch? I just recently learned that it’s quite easy to check what files you changed in your feature branch with git diff --name-only master....

Parsing bash arguments recursively
The problem I’m a lazy developer, who tries to create scripts to automatize most of my daily mechanical activities. And because of that I have many many scripts on my dotfiles. Some of my scripts require arguments and often, due to my lack of memory, I had to research the best way to part arguments in bash. Usually I need to parse arguments in the following format: $ ./whatever option_a: | option_b: DEFAULT | option_c: $ ....
Ideas Some ideas that should became blog posts When a command needs a file as argument Some commands/scripts might need a file as argument, but you might want to echo something instead. Simple solution I found, instead of creating a file for a quick run: $ echo "Some thing that should be in a file" | command-that-requires-a-file /dev/stdin Since /dev/stdin is a readable file, this should work in most cases....
