TWIL March 13th 2026
- You can give buttons values in Rails
- Actually I kinda knew this from seeing 'Submit' in params a bunch of times
- but never considered using it to save as a draft or not for example
- SQL really cares about trailing commas
- Microservices make testing annoying (again)
- This time because FDW tables are obviously not available if the 'Foreign' part isn't
- So had to find and update a test stub SQL file which creates them as regular local tables
- Making a way to configure things through an admin UI can save a lot of dev time (/annoyance)
- No more tickets to set up SSO for a new client! Ty anonymous Japanese senior engineer
- ONWARDS TO ITALLLYYYYY!!!! No TWIL next week, I'll be too busy eating cheese and drinking wine

- Searching for Birds - Visual Cinnamon
I am not a bird person, but if I were even a little bit this site would probably be incredible. Clearly a lot of care put into the visuals, interactivity and content.
- Abusing Customisable Selects - Patrick Brosset
Will probably never do anything quite like the examples at work, but the general concepts this covers could be useful next time someone tells me we need a UI library to style a select.
