What is used for authentication in Rails nowadays?
https://github.com/thoughtbot/clearance It is simple and good. You can also customize it easily.

Devise. love it or hate it?
Clearance has been better for most of my projects. Its got a cleaner implementation that Devise, and comes with a generator that will optionally dump all of the basic routes and views into the standard locations which you can then edit at will.

What's going on with Devise for Rails 7 ?!
I tend to suggest Clearance for Rails apps that need a more focused toolset. It may not do everything that Devise does, but it definitely works well with Rails 7. https://rubygems.org/gems/clearance/versions/2.5.0

Simple, secure, low maintenance auth that doesn’t rely on Facebook, Google etc?
I've found a much simpler/cleaner authentication gem is Clearance. Devise does just about everything, but Clearance is more opinionated so out of the box it does more of what you normally want.

Why am I having such a bad time with Rails?
...because some folks prefer clearance to devise! :-D

Asset Pipeline JS Migration
Using Webpacker in Rails provides several advantages over the traditional asset pipeline. First, Webpacker uses JavaScript modules, which allows for better code organization and improved code reusability. Second, it offers modern frontend build tools, such as Babel and PostCSS, for transforming and compiling assets. Third, it provides faster build times and faster runtime performance through code splitting and lazy loading. Fourth, it offers better integration with JavaScript frameworks such as React, Vue, and Angular. Overall, Webpacker offers a more flexible and modern asset management solution for Rails applications. And while Webpacker is being retired, this initiative is to consolidate our code accordingly before moving our bundler to another solution.
