Andy Budd @andybudd

Founders and PMs are usually laser focussed on building features they believe their users want. Often because prospective customers have told them that’s what they want. However it’s amazing how often these features end up not actually being used, wasting energy and dev cycles.

If you use Sidekiq directly in your Rails app, you have a `push_bulk` method to push gazillions of jobs to Redis to cut down on the Redis round-trip latency. Rails 7.1 brings this feature to Active Job through a new `perform_all_later` method.

❄️ GitHub repo names are unique, but only within your account. You can have "msft/blog" but also "swanson/blog" but you can't have two "swanson/blog" repos. How do you model this in Rails? Use validation scopes + multi-column database index

# You want Repos to have unique names within an
# account but not globally. How can you do this
# with Rails validations?
#
class Repo < ApplicationRecord
belongs_to :account

validates :name, uniqueness: { scope: :account_id }
end

# Enforce this at the database-level with a multi-column
# index
#
class CreateRepos < ActiveRecord::Migration[6.0]
def change
create_table :repos do |t|
...
end

add_index :repos, [:name, :account_id], unique: true
end
end
