Ruby on Rails, from MVC to GraphQL

As a Ruby on Rails developer, I'm always looking for the best tools and practices to apply to my day-to-day development. This framework has a fantastic structure where all its inner parts communicate very well. But, as applications start growing, or developers want to start using more modern technologies, several things start getting out of control.

Recent versions of Rails implemented Webpack, facilitating the use of modern JavaScript frameworks, which added another level of robustness to everyone's applications. Not only is this becoming the new standard, but it also enables bigger code-bases without falling into madness.

Facebook, as the creator of ReactJS (one of these modern JS frameworks and the most popular one) introduced to the world another of its technologies, GraphQL. This tool, like any other tool, can be a great asset, as long as it's in the right hands, meaning that you first need to know what role it plays before exploring how to use it in your RoR appli

This is my ZSH theme. I've had it for years, this adoption is for use as an antigen theme.

• Time since last commit
• Branch name or commit ref (green: working tree is clean, red: dirty working tree)
• Merge status (↑ is you can push, ↓ is you can pull, ↕ means you have diverged)

# In order for gpg to find gpg-agent, gpg-agent must be running, and there must be an env
# variable pointing GPG to the gpg-agent socket. This little script, which must be sourced
# in your shell's init script (ie, .bash_profile, .zshrc, whatever), will either start
# gpg-agent or set up the GPG_AGENT_INFO variable if it's already running.

# Add the following to your shell init to set up gpg-agent automatically for every shell
if [ -f ~/.gnupg/.gpg-agent-info ] && [ -n "$(pgrep gpg-agent)" ]; then
    source ~/.gnupg/.gpg-agent-info
    export GPG_AGENT_INFO

Extracting Emoji From Slack!

Slack doesn't provide an easy way to extract custom emoji from a team. (Especially teams with thousands of custom emoji) This Gist walks you through a relatively simple approach to get your emoji out.

If you're an admin of your own team, you can get the list of emoji directly using this API: https://api.slack.com/methods/emoji.list. Once you have it, skip to Step 3

HOWEVER! This gist is intended for people who don't have admin access, nor access tokens for using that list.
