Does anyone know of a small exemplar Rails app (<<10 models/controllers) written in Rails 8 using all the defaults? #rails

@marcoroth.dev I think I saw you were making a RubyMine plugin for Herb? How's that going (I've done a bit of JetBrains plugin dev and it can be pretty awful!)

@emilysamp.dev Great talk this morning! I'm excited about the new inline RBS syntax of sorbet. I heard it may not be feature complete compared to sorbet's sig? Is adding hash keys to types on the roadmap at all?

@rosa.codes Great talk this morning! I was very impressed at how clearly you explained everything in such a short time. This mathematician approves 😄 Have you ever tinkered with Haskell (or even elixir/phoenix)?

I've found myself needing to create simple interfaces for complicated data structures in Ruby recently. I've just released a small, self-contained gem for interacting with nested data structures using dot-delimited keys: github.com/mwnciau/dotkey #ruby

True, false or error? "% == %%%" #ruby

Looking to add type signatures to my #RubyOnRails app - to improve editor suggestions and possible add steep. Any suggestions/experiences? Considering going for a Yard + Sord approach.
