Video: What happens when you don't include a version in your Gemfile

Published about 3 years ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader, how's your Friday so far?

I'm excited to share my video guide that I've been working on for the past two weeks. I had forgotten how time-consuming it is to produce a screencast. Even though this video is only about 14 minutes long, I worked on it for at least 12 hours!

Most of the time was spent figuring out which video tools to use and how to use them. I wanted to make sure the video was accessible so that it includes subtitles/closed captions as well as a full text transcript. I also didn't want you to suffer through ads or have Google invade your privacy, so I chose to host it on Vimeo.

I've learned a whole lot, and I expect the process to be much faster going forward.

I'd love to hear your thoughts about this video. Your feedback is very helpful.

Before we get into the video, I wanted to share a few interesting tools and articles I came across.

Fresh Links

đźš… Projects like Magic Test remind me why I love Rails so much. There's such a great community around it, building helpful and time-saving tools.

đź“ť Obsidian looks very promising for taking notes and linking thoughts together. I've been using Bear, but I'm pretty sure I will switch to Obsidian.

🚶🏻‍♂️Now that the weather is getting warmer where I live, this HBR article about the benefits of walking reminded me to get outside more often.

And now on to the video

Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Reader! This week's automation guide is about a free but powerful Mac app called Bunch. I had heard of it years ago but never took the time to explore it in detail. Until now, and it has proven very useful so far. I'm not sure how the code samples will look like in your email, so you might prefer to read this on my site by clicking the title below.

PopClip default extensions

Hi Reader! This week's automation guide is about a little-known app called PopClip. PopClip was originally released in 2011, but I didn’t hear about it until four years ago, and I’m sure there are still a lot of people who don’t know about it. It’s one of the many useful apps you can discover and quickly install with the “Ultimate” version of Ruby on Mac. You can pick and choose from hundreds of Mac apps, fonts, and dev tools in the included Brewfile, and Ruby on Mac will install them all at...
