Articles
“Coding Sidekiq Workers the Right Way”
Like Rails controllers, it’s easy to get comfortable dumping logic into Sidekiq workers. It’s all in one place like good ol’ imperative style. But overtime, it gets messy, and you find yourself making new Sidekiq workers instead of just fixing or using old ones.
“Deprecating Paperclip”
In its eleventh year as an open source project, we have decided to halt work on Paperclip. This comes from a combination of already slowed work on the project, a constantly growing list of issues and pull requests that we struggle to keep on top of, and most recently the release of ActiveStorage in Rails 5.2.
