This seems, at least at the surface, to be strictly worse than going to chatgpt

I was personally using tailscale funnel (similar?) because my isp didn’t give me a static ip moreso than for any security reason.

Lol ok

> you are entirely defeating the point of testing

We will disagree here

> only assert that the current implementation is equal to the current implementation

I didn’t state that I do this

_in your opinion_

My opinion is, _my unit tests_ are to protect my code against unwanted changes. To that end, unit tests test a single unit. And everything is mocked. If I have to rewrite a method, usually I rewrite all of its unit tests. Which is fine. They’re easy to write or rewrite.

Fully mocked unit tests are then supplemented with fewer “full stack” tests higher up the pyramid.

> Also, it seems like every Ruby programmer I know only ever uses other dynamic languages like Python. It’s never like they’re experts in C++ or something and then decided to start programming in Ruby.

Can you expand on what you’re saying here or why you’re raising this is as an issue with ruby the language or rails the library?

That is not true at all. Concurrency is a way of writing programs and is an orthogonal concern to how the program gets executed.

It’s not a quote. It is an interpretation or reading of a quote.
