- Is there a way to easily autogenerate API documentation for a Ruby on Rails API?

OpenAPI/Swagger comment parser for ruby
This gem takes directives in your controllers and can output swagger.json. It takes some work but it is nice that it can provide examples by capturing test output and because of this it doesn't get out of date as easily. https://github.com/Apipie/apipie-rails

Anyone tried Django? How does it compare to RoR?
I'm on a path to try to recreate the Django admin interface in Rails. Many things work -- all BT and HM things, plus polymorphism / STI stuff / etc. And it's fast. But it doesn't yet have time series stuff or some other niceties that the Django one does.

Any devs who made the switch from Django to Rails?
Working VERY hard to have a lean and mean admin panel that can compare favorably to Django's.

I've hit a dead end of comprehension with has_many through: and subclassing
Was able to fix that bug in the video when the ERD diagram had two lines when there should have been only one. So creating this example ended up revealing that bug and now has made The Brick that little bit stronger.

Where is the best place to get specific help with errors during a Ruby install?
Using The Brick is an easy way to make many Rails 3.1 apps run under Ruby 2.7.8. In your Gemfile: gem 'brick' And at the very top of your application.rb add this line: require 'brick' And there's a good chance it will run fine. Note that nothing older than 3.1 will work. You got lucky to have an app that's right at the cutoff line!

Why does pry/Zeitwerk have issues loading constants in breakpoint context?
I feel your pain, u/2called_chaos -- so much that after being totally fed up with this kind of unreliable faff, I fixed it in a gem I maintain! Here's a video demo of your exact setup. You can see it broken and then working after simply adding the gem:
