I’ve noticed a bit of a trend within the Ruby community in recent years that worries me: every other codebase is now attempting to use interactors. That’s not inherently bad, but as we’ll discuss in this article, it has some unforeseen consequences. Luckily I haven’t seen much of this bleed into libraries but, on application code, it has been surprisingly common. Interestingly enough the first…

Unlike truly remote friendly workplaces optimized for asynchronous communication, these aim to merely transport the office into a virtual space keeping the same unnecessary constraints of synchronous work intact, only…
