Modern Software Development For Today's Systems & Applications
Authorization Gems in Ruby: Pundit and CanCanCan
Today, many web applications will feature pages that are publicly available — like a homepage — and more secure ones where a user has to log in to get access. The process of user registration, logging in, and tracking user session state is called "authentication". At the same time, when dealing with logged-in users, it's necessary to separate actions and resources that are available to them depending on their user roles. For example, "admins" generally have more access than normal users.
Generating Data Functions in Your Elixir App
In the first part of this series, we explored the ins and outs of Elixir test factories and fixtures. However, test factories bypass the rules of your Elixir application. Let's turn our attention to how we can avoid this by using data generation functions. Let's dive straight in!
How to Build an Error Handling Layer in Node.js
In an API-driven world, error handling is integral to every application. You should have an error handling layer in your Node.js app to deal with errors securely and effectively. In this article, we'll explore: Let’s jump right in!
A Generalized User-local Container for UI State in Kredis
In our last post, we persisted and restored a collapsed/expanded UI state with Kredis. However, the great pain point with this is that we have to invent a lot of Kredis keys. This time, we'll see how we can avoid this by developing a generalized solution for any DOM node whose attribute states we want to track on the server side. Let's dive straight in!

Good logs pay for themselves tenfold. They make it a breeze to diagnose those tricky bugs, and if you do logs right, they can alert you of issues even before your users notice. But what does it mean to 'do logging right'?
