https://tech.lgbt/@ellieonsoftwa...Do any of y'all use the term "rough-in" for an initial build-out of the basic flow and/or structure of a greenfield section of an application? I tend to use it for getting routing/navigation working plus overall page layout

https://tech.lgbt/@ellieonsoftwa...I relearned a lesson I've had to learn numerous times: the way to refactor is by small steps, with the code working at each step.
Today again I tried a ~50-LoC refactoring at once, and I couldn't resolve a bug. Did it step-by-step, all good.
Although, the big-bang approach did act as a spike, leading me to the overall design I ended up using

In this case, trying to get react-hook-form to work with every other technique I'm trying to employ
It doesn't seem to like when I load <select> options dynamically, or else I haven't found the right combination of options. Maybe because it's a couple components deep

https://tech.lgbt/@ellieonsoftwa...So the verification use case wants to know "is this user authorized to create/update an address for user ID n," but the UI just wants to know "is this user authorized to update the user address"... so if the abilities API requires that user ID check, it's an added weird tic for the UI

https://tech.lgbt/@ellieonsoftwa...For example... our user model has one user-address. Certain types of users have the ability to create and update their own user-address. Restricting the address to that user is part of the verification use case, but the UI doesn't really care about that because it just wants to show or not-show a form. The fact that the system has more than one user-address doesn't matter to the UX

https://tech.lgbt/@ellieonsoftwa...Also, in some implementations (including Laravel) there isn't an easy way to list all of a user's abilities because they are looked up when an ability check is done, as opposed to being encoded as a catalog. The Rails gem cancancan seems more amenable to that because the abilities _are_ basically encoded as a list
