On Sunday night, I migrated a couple of Rails apps to Ruby 2.7, including Writeabout. Last night, I did the same with another Rails app. By the end of the week, I hope to have Markcase moved over to Ruby 2.7 and Dailymuse upgraded to Ruby 2.7 and Rails 6.0.

Upgrading apps is a pain if they’re left alone for too long. I’ve left Dailymuse alone for such a long time that it’s still sitting on Rails 5. Markcase is on Rails 6 but requires a wee bit of maintenance regarding Webpack.

I’ve learned that leaving apps for such a long time between updates is not the best thing to do. Even upgrading an app regularly through its patch versions is better than just leaving them sitting gathering dust.
