I’ll probably regret asking, but what are people’s preferred #ruby #authentication gems these days?

I’ve used but hated #devise. Have no opinions on #clearance. Really enjoyed #sorcery but it seems like there’s a v1 rewrite happening which I am always suspicious of. I have been reading up on #rodauth but since this is going to be a #rails app I’m hesitant to jam #roda into it. And does the answer change for an api-only app?

The answer is to suck it up and use devise isn’t it?

I have found that having a pothos plant is a great way to feel successful and accomplished with very little actual effort. They are almost impossible to kill, grow like crazy, and you can prune them to feel like you’re actually getting something done in your life. Thank you, little plant, for helping me through my day.

Up late reviewing #AwesomeFoundation applications for our meeting tomorrow night. Absolutely love learning about all of the creativity in this city, and it's always sad that we are only able to fund one project each month.

I also fixed the hole in my pocket that I’ve been meaning to fix for years. And mailed a package. Go me!

Anyone have an opinion about #photoshop replacements for MacOS? I don't use it enough to justify another annual subscription. Looking at #pixelmatorpro and #acorn and #affinityphoto but haven't actually tried any of them out yet. Will hopefully be checking out some of the trials this weekend.

Made #chaffles today. That is all.

What's this I just discovered in my 14 year old Rails project? Ah yes, it's the part where I shell out to php because it was just easier to do that than use an unmaintained Ruby library to do the same thing.

It could have been worse I suppose - I could have shelled out to the original Perl...

Also, if you like the idea of giving out $1,000 (or local equivalent) every month to an awesome project, talk to me about the #AwesomeFoundation. I’ve been doing this for over 10 years and we’ve collectively given out over $6M around the world in that time, $1,000 at a time.
