๐งต What Ruby taught me about flexibility in Software Engineering
How Rubyโs dynamic style, metaprogramming, and โtrust-the-developerโ mindset challenged my Python habits.
โRuby feels like jazz. Python feels like chamber music.โ
๐ Dev Nuggets
Small insights, big value:
- ๐ง Ruby reminded me that readability is subjective โ but you can optimize for joy.
- โจ๏ธ Using method_missing made me rethink __getattr__ patterns in Python.
- ๐ Quote of the week:
โYou only truly understand something when you can explain it.โ
๐ฎ Whatโs Coming Next
Hereโs what Iโm working on this week:
Next.js and simplicity โ when to avoid overengineering while scraping with python.
Possibly a look into developer ergonomics and tooling setups.
Probably some AWS training.
Thanks for reading โ and feel free to hit reply if something resonates, or if you just want to say hey.
