Being laid off in 2023-2024 as an early-career developer
More consistent learning. The job search also gave me a chance to get back to my Ruby/web development learning roadmap. I realized that at my last job, I wasn't consistently spending time improving my skills, outside of whatever I might (if I was lucky) be learning in work projects. It's just hard to fight against the pressure of the day-to-day work. Here are some approaches that I'll try this time around: Disregard immediate applicability and learn something I'm interested in for the sake of expanding my mind. Right now that's learning functional programming. Learn actively, whether by contributing to Exercism's Ruby track, building a collection of Ruby code katas, or maybe even creating a text-based game.

Desperately need direction!
Beyond these basics, I've put together a list of my favorite Ruby/Rails learning resources.

Learning Git: my favorite resources
I made the Git list by (1) scouring the Web for recommended resources, then (2) trying out each one to see if it would be worth going through to the end. In case you're curious about which resources didn't make the cut, here's the commit where they are removed.

Learning Ruby: a retrospective
As a guide to my reflections today, I'll use my "Learning Ruby" roadmap, which originally arose out of the chaos of my bookmark hell, where I was having trouble keeping track of the actually important learning resources. The roadmap worked well for me and eventually I put it up on GitHub because making it public gives me more motivation to keep making progress.

Looking for Career Change
For me, Ruby was a great choice for a career change. I used to be a teacher until I quit in 2020, then over the next 1.5 years I studied and practiced part-time, while working full-time in a remote customer support job. Ever since I started learning Ruby, I've saved my favorite learning resources here: https://github.com/fpsvogel/learn-ruby. Many of them are free.

OOP vs. services for organizing business logic: is there a third way?
So I've set out to explore the problem of organizing business logic from more angles than before, using the resources listed below. These lists are excerpted from my "Learning Ruby" road map which I often update, so you may want to find these lists there if this post is old at the time of your reading it. The sections corresponding to the lists below are, at the time of writing, "Rails architecture" and "Rails codebases".

Learning Rails vs JS ecosystem?
I'll tell my story and you can decide if it resonates with you at all. Also these might help you: my Ruby roadmap (favorite learning resources), and my blog post "How to find your first Rails job".

what things do I have to learn to build a web app with Rails?
I've made a big list of my favorite learning resources, but here are some possible first steps:

Recently started first software engineering job, looking for course to improve Rails skills
I actually don't know of a good "beyond the basics" Rails course. The one or two that I've seen out there are prohibitively expensive. For me the best way forward has been to improve in specific areas, such as OOP, testing, and SQL basics. I've made a list of my favorite resources in each area, which might help you.

Event Store with Rails
Co-author of the Sequent gem (https://www.sequent.io) here. Can confirm that it’s a great gem to build event sourced applications with (as long as you’re using PostgreSQL). It’s very battle tested as it has been extracted from/used in a web based accounting system that currently holds about 1 billion events in the event store.

Using CQRS in a simple Phoenix API with Commanded
I have been curious about the concepts of event sourcing and CQRS for a while— obsessively reading books like Practical Microservices (Garofolo) and Architecture Patterns with Python (Percival, Gregory), along with documentation for libraries like Sequent (Ruby), Commanded (Elixir).
