I updated my Rails app’s start script to launch Docker containers for PostgreSQL and Redis. I also added a kill script to stop them when I’m done coding. I hope this helps my struggling laptop battery by properly shutting down services.

It’s a quiet morning with some code and coffee. I am working through an issue with a product of mine using forms, Rails, and Sidekiq. I’m happy to put the time into this over the weekend, as it’s a core part of the product and will be reused heavily in the future.

A particularly tough email written tonight. One of those times where you need to write something, but you’d rather not. This had to be done though.

Apologies for being vague, but just had to get this off my chest.

I forgot how great the chatbots are in Basecamp. They can respond to commads and can communicate from outside apps.

I see they also allow the ability to use different formatting in their message content. That’s the next thing I think I will try and do. Nicely formatted chatbot messages.
