I’ve spent a bit of time at work rewriting a rails app. Stupidly, now I’ve started watching some of the videos about Rails 8. Lots of things have changed from the last time I did any real rails programming. The good news is that in watching some of the videos, I was NOT completely lost. I basically understood the ideas of what they were talking about. I also know enough to know that when I start to try some of this new stuff out that I’m going to have a much harder time than the demos. But it’s funny. I’ve basically just finished updating two apps, but I haven’t made them public yet. I probably will have to deploy one of them. But I may rewrite them using some of the things I’ve just learned.

But one thing that I think may be necessary is that I start working on servers running ubuntu instead of CentOS. Since CentOS has changed to CentOS Stream, it’s probably time to change. I always used CentOS because it was RHEL, which is what I was familiar with. I guess I just need to get much more comfortable with Ubuntu and using that on my servers. If nothing else, I think I’ll change coldandheartless to Ubuntu. Then I’ll see if I can get a rails container running there, as that’s what I should be using.

So, as always, lots to learn.
