What Does an A Really Mean?
We asked professors, students, and high-school counselors.

Clicky's privacy-friendly, real-time website analytics service is simply the best way to monitor, analyze, and react to your website's traffic in real time.
Very nice. and cheap alternative to google analytics. I mean, not exactly an alternative. I don't know all the features that GA has. But this tool is really lightweight, nice to look at, and it does a lot for free
I'm sure you agree that it has become impossible to ignore Generative AI (GenAI), as we are constantly bombarded with mainstream news about Large Language Models (LLMs). Very likely you have tried…
Excellent overview with code. Can't say for sure that it is a true/accurate explanation or just a clever oversimplified analogy.
Fastest way to deploy a Rails app!
Once Heroku got rid of their free tier, we all wanted alternatives. Doku is one of them. It lets you create your very own Heroku service on top of a cheap Digitial Ocean partition.

Some fancy sql technique to create masses of fake data efficiently. Note: no Ruby or Python involved!
In this article, we’ll go through several examples to see how SQL CTEs can help you with complex calculations and hierarchical data structures.
Just heard about CTE (Common Table Expressions). They are a feature of SQL. Not sure whether all SQLs or just Postgres. A way to refactor a complicated SQL statement into substagements.
Want to learn how to better organize your SQL queries with Common Table Expressions (CTEs)? Check out this guide!

First contact with make When I was invited for my first job interview in the IT, I’ve been asked such question:
How would you typically build a program from sources, what commands will you use?
I answered:
It’s obvious:
./configure make make install Those times belong to the past now and nowadays not many programmers use GNU Make1. Try asking this question and you will see disgust at best.
For many it’s the fist contact with make and often the last one, but not for me 😉
Great reminders on how and why to use the ancient and ubiquitous “make” tool.

Generative AI has revolutionized programming. Based on his own experience, Jon Udell codifies how to partner effectively with LLM assistants.
We’re all doing it now, right? Using LLMs for all kinds of things? Well here are some useful rules of thumb. By the way, as far as employing a team of assistants, take a look at Poe.com. It’s a single front end to all (almost all) the LLMs out there. And in fact it bakes in the question of what would the other LLMs say to the same prompt.
A brave new world!

Let's explore the strengths and weaknesses of Rails and Hanami.
Useful comparison between Hanami and rmRails. I would have expected a Hanami bias. But even in this, I think Rails ends up on top!
