Been listening to Don Broco a lot lately and their "Uber" track has some pretty relevant lyrics. It crossed my mind that one of the biggest leaders in the Ruby community is basically a racist uber driver. 👇🏻

"Been a long night, I've been out
I've been dealing with the driver
Who's sorry for my lot
'Cause my country got us
Mixing our blood'
And it's boiling his blood and that's boiling my blood
He won't shut the fuck up
Tell you I don't give a fuck if the world turns brown
Tell you I don't give a fuck, you pull over right now
Tell me how the fuck you not afraid to say that kind of shit
Tell me how you feel safe"

You'll never guess what I've been building lately 🙃 Best guess wins a cookie. I'm in love with #svelte. #opensource #comingsoon

📣 After a lot of work we've shipped Ruby & Rails SDKs with support for @sentry.io brand new Logs feature which is now out of beta! While you're waiting for Rails' "structured events" feature, you can start using Sentry *today* to get structured logging work OOTB! 🎉 #Ruby #Rails #OpenSource 👇🏻

Moved back to @ghost.org since they are working on the open social web and decentralized publishing in general and I'm psyched about it! Got my site pages upgraded with the open source section showing some basic stats. It was fun to see how my OSS work went up and down, and it's now rising. 👇🏻

We lost a wonderful human being this week. I wish we did swap our talks back at RubyConf in Braga to troll the audience and see if they will realize you're not me, and I'm not you, like you wanted to. You were THE Piotr S. of the Ruby community, as we liked to joke. I'll be missing you Piotr.

Seems like ActiveRecord doesn't care about nil comparisons 🤔

Peter Solnica 🇺🇦 🇵🇱 🇪🇺 @solnic.dev · 23/07/2025

It's the little stuff that matters - in Ecto you can't do `get_by(field: nil)` etc. - you must use an explicit Ecto.Query with `is_nil` expression. In Drops.Relation I made it automatically work because we have detailed schema information. It even validates if the query makes sense ✨

261

Peter Solnica 🇺🇦 🇵🇱 🇪🇺 @solnic.dev · 16/07/2025

Almost there with Drops.Relation (yep, it's gonna be under Drops umbrella because I didn't like EctoRelation namespace). Got dynamic schemas and corresponding structs working via `view` macro, this is one more concept taken from rom-rb. Notice that derived `active` users have custom fields ✨

Peter Solnica 🇺🇦 🇵🇱 🇪🇺 @solnic.dev · 09/07/2025

Ecto.Relation sneak preview 👀 ...it freaking works in my Phoenix app! 🎉 One line of code and you get so much functionality OOTB 🚀 Still in a PoC state but I will release it eventually! #ElixirLang

Peter Solnica 🇺🇦 🇵🇱 🇪🇺 @solnic.dev · 07/07/2025

There we go - I rebuilt rom-rb in #ElixirLang on top of Ecto 🔥 I can't stress enough how powerful relation composition is and I hope I can make it fly in Elixir and there will be some adoption. I love Ecto and I just want to make it easier to work with it 💜 More news coming soon 🙃

ehehe getting somewhere with this. Igniter's cool btw, thank you

Peter Solnica 🇺🇦 🇵🇱 🇪🇺 @solnic.dev · 06/07/2025

Bringing some good rom-rb vibes to #ElixirLang - got Ecto schema inference working. They see me inferrin, they hatin (???) I'm gonna experiment with this a lot and try out various strategies, including keeping Ecto schemas in sync with explicitly defined fields too. Igniter could help here.

Peter Solnica 🇺🇦 🇵🇱 🇪🇺 @solnic.dev · 04/07/2025

Gonna have a "business logic framework" for my #ElixirLang folks ready soon. Some people will love it, some people will hate it. Here's a super basic example from my app. It looks innocent but it does a lot automatically and it's very flexible ✨ Thoughts?

Peter Solnica 🇺🇦 🇵🇱 🇪🇺 @solnic.dev · 24/06/2025

Bringing more of my Ruby stuff to #ElixirLang via Drops lib - this time I'm finally adding support for inferring schemas from Ecto and a simple and conventional way of splitting your app into Command and Query operations. I've used this pattern a lot in the past, gonna see how it feels in Phoenix.

Peter Solnica 🇺🇦 🇵🇱 🇪🇺 @solnic.dev · 20/06/2025

Big step forward - @repobot.app now uses Oban for GitHub event processing based a very simple event system. Webhook controller stores events with payloads in the db and immediately schedules workers. Nothing fancy but it's progress! 🤓

Peter Solnica 🇺🇦 🇵🇱 🇪🇺 @solnic.dev · 18/06/2025

I ported @repobot.app to Phoenix 1.8.0.rc-3 and Tailwind 4 with DaisyUI. Then I put together a semi-custom DaisyUI theme, updated a bunch of helpers and 💥 things work and I can easily style the whole app. Really cool stuff! #ElixirLang #BuildInPublic

I had a broken test after a big refactoring in @repobot.app app and I didn't have time/energy to address it. I tried to use Cursor with all of the models to fix it and it failed. Then I switched to Augment with Claude Sonnet 3.7 and it didn't fix it either. I just tried Claude 4 and it fixed it 🤯

MOAH #git buttons on my #StreamDeck - this is so cool and actually useful 😁 There's a #VSCode extension that you can use to execute either built-in commands or terminal commands (arbitrary). The only caveat is that there's no mechanism for waiting until a command finishes (vscode limitation).

Both missions accomplished! 🎉 Brain's still buzzing after a fantastic #ElixirConfEU event last week. I enjoyed the talks and the talking. I didn't manage to chat to every person that I wanted to but that's OK. Huge thanks to the organizers, speakers and the amazing #ElixirLang community!

📣 Big release today! We've added support for Structured Logging, a new @sentry.io feature that's currently in beta, to the Ruby SDK! 🎉 There are also other improvements and bug fixes so please upgrade and let us know how it goes! github.com/getsentry/sentry-ruby/re…

Tiny AI-based auto-completions that really save time and make me type less is something I learn to appreciate more and more. This time it's just a link to PR in a CHANGELOG but small things like that count as well. #ai #programming #aicodingassist

I'm experimenting with automatic summaries of what I did on a given day and got a bunch of scripts now that can extract various info from local git repos and generate a markdown summary. I even got an abstraction for using different LLM backends. Here I used local DeepSeek. Cool stuff! ✨ #ai #git

Who's actually using #Ruby LSP in #VSCode to run tests? I am trying it out today and its command to run all tests from current file seems to be running *each test scenario* in a separate process. This means that running all tests is dead slow. Am I doing something wrong?

A screenshot from test results in VS Code using Ruby LSP extension showing that running all tests from sentry_spec.rb file takes 49s instead of less than a second.

Lately, I've been using LLMs more for code investigation than for code generation. Here's Augment in VS Code spitting out a code flow diagram instantly instead of me jumping between files and building a mental model in my head to understand what's going on. #ai #aicodeassist #vscode #augment

Screenshot from VS Code and Augment AI chat where I used a prompt "investigate how Scope#apply_to_event is called and give me a mermaid diagram representing the code flow" to quickly see code flow in Sentry Ruby SDK.

Quick update on my new Apple Studio Display...the glass cracked in bottom-right corner. Just like that, by just standing on my desk. That's disappointing.

Once I had files imported from the template repository, any change I push to that repository is automatically reflected in the target repositories. I can manage common files in a single place and that saves quite some time! I set it up to push directly but it can also open PRs automatically 🎉

Peter Solnica 🇺🇦 🇵🇱 🇪🇺 @solnic.dev · 09/04/2025

First I added solnic/cursor-rules GitHub repository to RepoBot and set it as the template repo with cursor rules imported as source files for synchronization. Here, I even can see a graph that visualizes how files are synced 👇🏻

Switched to Apple Studio Display from a gigantic 40" curved Dell. It kept disconnecting from my MB all the time which required unplugging and waiting for a minute for the thing to reset. Studio Display is so tiny in comparison but it was a good trade-off. It's brighter and res is super sharp. 👇🏻

Plausible - $9/month, a nice Elixir-based, ethical user analytics. I got it hooked up just because I need to see where the traffic is coming from. It doesn't play any major role right now but it will soon once I step up my marketing game. 👇🏻
