We often think of shadows in CSS as something to reach for when we want to add depth to a design. But shadows can be used for more than depth. Let’s experiment with different shadows — two CSS properties and a filter — to make interesting hover effects, different text styles, and even casting shadows on other shadows.

Turns out the question of which identifier to use as a Primary Key is complicated -- we're going to dive into some of the complexity and inherent trade-offs, and figure things out

This week I want to tell you about the form_with Rails helper. It was introduced in Rails 5.1, and the goal of this helper was to unify the form_for and the form_tag helpers. form_for requires a model instance or a scope and puts the attributes into a hash, so usually when you needed a form in the past where you didn’t want to put them scoped into a hash, you used form_tag.

Introduction Postgres queue tech is a thing of beauty, but far from mainstream. Its relative obscurity is partially attributable to the cargo cult of “scale”. The scalability cult has decreed that there are several queue technologies with greater “scalability” than Postgres, and for that reason alone, Postgres isn’t suitably scalable for anyone’s queueing needs. The cult of scalability would rather we build applications that scale beyond our wildest dreams than ones that solve real problems beyond our wildest dreams.
