#CodingWeek #progress

This week, I've made significant progress, completing about 80% of the second email for my Short Ruby Email Courses. This email is about into the syntax of the endless method.

My focus was on providing practical insights. I explored the history of feature requests submitted to reduce the number of `end` we write and understand what would be the benefits of using this new #Ruby syntax.

It is the middle of the week so maybe now it is a good time to take a small break and reflect on what you could NOT implement.

Not everything you think should be implemented is essential now. Some things can be omitted or delegated for later.

#BuildWithRuby #CodingWeek

I was just doing some benchmarking of a bit of ruby code, comparing `value.digits(32)` to an explicit while loop that does the same thing, and decided to try it with `--yjit` too.

* Normal ruby -- native method was more performant, although not by a whole lot

* with `--yjit` the ruby loop was better than the native method.

"Small methods ease maintenance. They let you isolate assumptions.
Code that has been written with the right small methods requires the change of only a few methods to correct or enhance its operation"

What are you planning to develop with #Ruby or #RubyOnRails this week?

For my side project, I plan to continue with writing the second email for the #ModernRuby #EmailCourse: "Endless Method Definition"
