railsdevs.com VS Interactor

I'm also building a reverse job board for AI developers like me to find full-time, part-time or contract work. Developers can make a free profile to promote their AI/ML skills and hiring companies can search the profiles and contact developers through the platform. It's an open-source open startup that's a fork of a similar project for rails developers.

railsdevs.com - Specific to Ruby on Rails

Other than reading, the best way to learn domain modeling is to read a lot of code, e.g. Rails codebase (to learn how to model the domain of web applications) or open source repositories (a good one is Railsdevs). Over time, you'll find and understand the common patterns enough to use on your own.

To find a freelance, it could depend on your location. There are https://www.malt.uk, https://railsdevs.com

Rails Devs - https://railsdevs.com/ - create and businesses reach out.

So far I've been using the Rails Guides on testing and studying the source code of railsdevs.com. Any guidance is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!

Hey, I totally agree with you. Linking to the entire newsletter can be quite overwhelming and comes off as spammy. It would be great if you included the specific links to the tweet or the GitHub repo mentioned in the newsletter. The links you provided, https://twitter.com/joemasilotti/status/1639261944652914688 and https://github.com/joemasilotti/railsdevs.com/which, are definitely more helpful and provide a better user experience. Thanks for sharing!

RailsDevs - Rails dev specific

I recommend Joe Masilotti's project: RailsDevs. Very well-written and follows most of the Rails best practices. It also uses the Rails recommended front-end stack with Hotwire, Tailwind, etc.

While there are other libraries out there like Dry-Transaction and Interactor, StepSequencer stands out in its simplicity and flexibility. Here's why:

At my current job we use `interactor` which is similar, but simpler, and the precursor to light-service: https://github.com/collectiveidea/interactor

Thanks for the info. I like the sounds of that article. I think I was sort of thinking along those lines myself but didn't know what to refer to it as. I stumbled on to this as well after reading the article: https://github.com/collectiveidea/interactor.

Interactor

You might be looking for an interactor pattern for these services. I've used this gem for similar things before and have had good experiences.

FWIW Interactor has only received bugfixes and a single enhancement over the last 4 years: https://github.com/collectiveidea/interactor/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md and before that, the last meaningful change was 8 years ago.

Looks a lot like the Interactor pattern: https://github.com/collectiveidea/interactor

I see many senior Ruby developers around me going away from that magicness (like all the validations and callbacks) to move away from fat models, using libs like https://github.com/collectiveidea/interactor and have their own control.

The Interactor and ActiveInteraction gems are both great libraries for implementing this pattern.
