What I missed about Ruby

#reflection

I’m back in Ruby on Rails land after two years using only Node/TS. And I’m thrilled to be back! I feel like I missed so much progress with Rails 7 over the last 2 years. But now that I’m back, I can finally use all the things I missed. Here’s all the things that I took for granted before my break:

One thing that I took away from the last two years, is typing. I’m not going to lie. I like it. It’s nice to be able to hover over an object and know what fields exist in it. I would love with Ruby to be able to hover over a hash and see all the keys that exist. I added Sorbet and RBS to my things to learn list.
