You know that project you've been meaning to get to for months? It's a thorn in your side, but more urgent stuff keeps coming up... I can take that off your plate 🍽️ I'm looking to work w/ one more client for the spring. Send me a dm & we can talk about what that'd look like.

Hey all, I have freelance/consulting capacity opening up for the first time in years. I love to work cross-stack with businesses building on Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, React+TypeScript, and Next.js. Please share for reach. Contact me here or via my consulting site (link below)

My productivity goes to die in a busy browser window. However, I've developed some keyboard-centric Vimium flows that have completely changed how I get things done in the browser. So excited to share those workflows in my *first* ever @eggheadio course.

Rails on @flightcontrolhq (AWS) has been great, but I miss how easy the Heroku CLI made some things. Connecting to the prod Rails console takes a bit of figuring out and several steps -- I wrote it all up in my latest post.

I'm comparing some Heroku alternatives for deploying and hosting Rails apps. I just gave @Flightcontrolhq a shot and so far the experience has been slick af. Nice work @flybayer and team 🙌
