Why N+1 Queries Are a Natural Result of Lazy Loading

Sun, 19 Jul 2026 06:13:32 +0000

N+1 is lazy loading repeated across a collection. This RailsRevelry article traces the per-owner association load path, the relation.loaded? versus association(:invoices).loaded? distinction, preload/eager_load/includes, why preloading doesn’t fix count or scoped reads, and strict_loading as enforcement.

When broadcasting a refresh is not enough: faster UX with versioned updates

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 11:07:59 +0000

If you’re using Turbo broadcasts to make a page collaborative, you might have noticed that the default refresh approach adds latency: an extra round trip, a debounce delay, and a flood of simultaneous requests when many users are connected. Broadcasting a replace action with the content directly fixes most of that, but it opens up a race condition where updates can arrive out of order. Here’s how to get fast, immediate updates without sacrificing correctness: When broadcasting a Turbo refresh is not enough: faster UX with versioned immediate updates

RubyConf 2026 Is Not a Safe Environment for Everyone

Tue, 14 Jul 2026 20:18:35 +0000

RubyConf 2026 is not a safe environment for everyone. They have an in-group and an out-group. If you’re in the in-group, they will treat you well and accept talk proposals by you even if you don’t have top-level skills in Software Engineering. If you’re in the out-group, it doesn’t matter if you launch rockets to the moon successfully on your own or win the approval of Matz himself, you will be excluded and discriminated against. This is no different from how the MLB (Major League Baseball) used to mistreat Afro Americans and relegate them to playing in the Negro league instead of the Major League. Telling someone who can perform at the major league level they are unaccepted as a player there, but could attend if they want is most definitely discrimination 100%. https://andymaleh.blogspot.com/2026/07/rubyconf-2026-is-not-safe-environment.html

Hey dear Rubyists,

data_redactor: stop secrets and personal data leaking into logs and LLM prompts

Tue, 14 Jul 2026 06:56:27 +0000

If your app writes logs or sends text to an LLM, sooner or later a real credit card, email, or API key ends up in there — data_redactor strips that kind of data out of any string before it leaves your app.

Associations Are Query Interfaces, Not Object Properties

This RailsRevelry article explains association readers, CollectionProxy, loaded targets, scoped queries, count/existence methods, strict loading, and the debugging question: loaded for which question?

PicoPhone: a fast native wrapper around libphonenumber

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 02:25:32 +0000

I just published pico_phone (source), a thin Ruby wrapper around Google’s libphonenumber C++ library via Rice. It’s the same engine Android’s dialer uses, so you get accurate parsing, validation, and formatting for phone numbers from any country: national/international/E.164 formats, area code and local number extraction, type detection (mobile, toll-free, etc.), vanity number conversion, short-number/emergency-number lookups, and more.
