It'd be nice to have a tags index, something like: http://www.ombulabs.com/blog/tags, which shows all of our posts' tags, and you can click on a tag, for example ruby, and go to the tag's index: http://www.ombulabs.com/blog/tags/ruby, which already exists.

Hey @mauro-oto,

It'd be great if we had a little guide in the README about posting new articles.

Could you add that?

Thanks!

In the latest version of Rails (5.1) any? and exists? are now equally performant.

Update this post: https://www.ombulabs.com/blog/benchmark/performance/rails/present-vs-any-vs-exists.html

Just wanted to add this here so that we don't forget, @mauro-oto.

Maybe we should increase the quality of the logo in the social card?

Relevant source code:

Could you debug this issue, @ercohen14?

To make the PR creation/review/conflict resolving process faster and easier, and less frustrating, Heroku should regenerate the blog for us on deploy.

For example, in this post:

"software development" and "software quality" should be linked to the tag page.

We already have a methodology that works, we should write an article about it so that we can share it with the community and developers working in our Rails upgrade projects.

For some reason, the header stopped being responsive, and you now have to scroll to the right and left to see the entire header, it should not behave like that. Maybe we could just show the isotope or decrease the font size for smaller resolutions?

If the category has a space in it, the path gets generated with an escaped space in it:

We should replace that escaped space with a dash. It looks better.

The buttons to share the post on a social network link to https://www.ombulabs.com/monit/slack/setup-monit-notifications-on-slack.html instead of https://www.ombulabs.com/blog/monit/slack/setup-monit-notifications-on-slack.html.

They're missing the /blog/ part in the URL.

We should add a button at the bottom of each post tagged with rails that visitors can click to refer them to fastruby.io.

Output of bundle exec rake find_dead_links:

- ./_site/benchmark/performance/rails/present-vs-any-vs-exists.html
  *  External link http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_func_count.asp failed: 404 No error
- ./_site/open-source/crowdsourcing/introducing-infractores.html
  *  External link http://www.buenosaires.gob.ar/areas/seguridad_justicia/seguridad_urbana/dgcactyt/formulario_denuncia/denunciavial.php?menu_id=34064 failed: 404 No error

We should try to replace these with working links, links to archive.org, or screenshots.

I don't really like the default link color, which is the same color as the text. Maybe the blue color Github uses for links?

We set up Hubot in order to deploy a passing build of the unstable branch to staging, but it's not yet finished. The flow goes:

1. The CI server (Solano in our case) sends a notification to Slack for Hubot.
2. Hubot is listening for messages in Slack, and reads Solano's deploy notification.
3. Hubot clones the latest unstable version of the repo.
4. Hubot begins deploying to staging using Capistrano. (be cap staging deploy).

Recently we had a problem when we create the category design-pattern, the existing design category was overeaten by the new category and all the articles of design were removed.

We need to check if that is a problem with Jekyll or with the categories plugin.

The How We Helped Predictable Revenue Scale article is taking too much space in the index page. We should only show a few lines there.

From a comment in an article: https://www.ombulabs.com/blog/rails/upgrades/upgrade-rails-from-4-2-to-5-0.html#comment-3799159027

For this article: https://www.ombulabs.com/blog/rails/upgrades/upgrade-rails-from-4-2-to-5-0.html

We should add a section about migrations: https://www.ombulabs.com/blog/rails/upgrades/upgrade-rails-from-4-2-to-5-0.html

This should reduce noise in the git diff, as it's a bit hard to review PRs right now because of the amount of files that are generated, and which will keep increasing.

It'd also make contributing posts a bit easier, with less steps involved: just commit and push the markdown file, and that's it.

Will probably have to be done from ombulabs.com in the Rack static files app using a middleware.

Ruby's native Net::IMAP library doesn't allow you to fetch attributes it doesn't recognize, like Gmail's X-GM-THRID, it raises a parse error. The workaround is monkeypatching the class, like shown here: https://github.com/gmailgem/gmail/blob/master/lib/gmail/imap_extensions.rb#L8-L53.

Make sure that these tags are only generated for articles/posts:

@etagwerker @lubc the RSS feed is currently broken in production, it uses localhost:4000 as the URL. We should be careful when generating the blog locally and check the git diff for any obvious problems.

Add an environment variable for Google Analytics.

Right now the article's attribution says "Ombulabs".

It should mention the author. A few alternatives:

• Author's name
• Author's Github/Twitter handle
• Both

Some pages show this error when you try to access https://www.ombulabs.com/blog

@etagwerker there are two posts you made which link to 404 pages. For the first link we should look for a stable Rails release instead of master, as it's likely to change over time. For the second one, it looks like it's now /docs/ratings instead.

Do you think we should add this gem to the project and setup something like Travis to tell us when there are dead links?

For example: http://www.ombulabs.com/blog/lean%20startup/the-lean-startup-way.html

So that the build passes

When visiting www.ombulabs.com/blog, Home should point to www.ombulabs.com

See:

It now points to www.ombulabs.com/blog

Hubot makes it incredibly easy to setup on a Heroku server, by using git push heroku master because of its Procfile. Given that foreman doesn't like background processes (ddollar/foreman#65), you need to use monit, systemd or tmux to manage your hubot process.

We shouldn't be using Heroku for serving static assets:

We should use Cloudfront to do this. It will speed up page load.

It's supposed to be leaner and faster, gets rid of unnecessary gem dependencies.

Right now it just shows the blog title.

The link to the blog's second page leads to a 404, because the link is wrong: www.ombulabs.com/page2, should be www.ombulabs.com/blog/page2.
