Hello there!

Yes, this is Godfrey again. I am glad a lot of you found last week’s Cool Trick™ useful. However, wouldn’t life be pretty boring if you just keep getting useful information? So I figured I would change things up a bit by delivering you an issue full of bad puns, dad jokes and other useless information. Let’s get to it!

This Week’s Rails Contributors

This week, 11 new contributors along with 19 other returning contributors took some time to keep Rails chugging along.

Include The Content of “The Flash” In ETags

When confronted about code bloat, DHH does not take it lightly. This week, he pulled another one of those moves by committing the content of The Flash into the Rails codebase.

Redirect POST Requests With 307 Status Code

Chirag Singhal decided to stir up some drama here by sending browsers a HTTP 307 “YOU JUST DON’T GET IT” status code when upgrading POST/PUT/DELETE requests to HTTPS connections.

Remove over meta programming in AR::Relation

When Bogdan Gusiev dived into the AR::Relation code base, he was not pleased with what he saw. After making some tweaks in this PR, he seemed happy with the result. Why?

Well.

It doesn’t meta anymore.

YEEEEAAAAAAAAHH

Improve tag_option performance

Amadeus Folego identified  tag_options  as a hotspot in his application and decided to help improve its performance by throwing in some frozen strings. Cool!

Update docs with Action Cable Redis dependency

Coming back from his vacation, Rafael Reggiani Manzo redis™covered a new dependency for developing Rails. To ease the shock for the next person, he added the setup instructions to the guides.

Missing key should throw KeyError

Last but not least, Eileen M. Uchitelle committed a key error this week.

Wrapping Up

That’s all from me this week, I hope you find this information useless! For a more informative view, check out (no pun intended) the commits here.

Okay, please don’t unsubscribe! 😭 Your favorite rotation of editors will be back starting next week to replace me, so I’m sure things will get better from here!

Promise!
