If I were to recommend three articles published last week to read, here is what I would recommend:

1️⃣ “Low-poly image generation using evolutionary algorithms in Ruby” by Thomas Countz

Thomas presents a step-by-step guide about creating a low-poly version of the Ruby logo using evolutionary algorithms and Ruby tail call optimizations. This is a perfect and well-documented example of using Ruby outside web apps and seeing the expressiveness of Ruby while implementing evolutionary algorithms.

2️⃣ “Poking around PostgreSQL full-text search: a beginners primer” by Rémi Mercier

While this is not specific to Ruby or Rails, I like Remi’s exploration of how to do full-text searches using PostgreSQL capabilities. It is an easy-to-follow exploration, where he shows queries, explains them, and then moves on to try a different approach. Great article for beginners and but also for anyone who wants to have a bit of SQL fun and refresh their memory.

3️⃣ “4 tips when getting started with Hotwire” by Joël Quenneville

This is a great article about how to do code design when implementing features with Rails and Hotwire. Joël offers clear advice about how to approach implementing a feature with Hotwire and what is the path of least resistance that will offer the simplest yet effective way to build maintainable web apps.
