System tests have failed
When we introduced a default setup for system tests in Rails 5.1 back in 2016, I had high hopes. In theory, system tests, which drive a headless browser through your actual interface, offer greater confidence that the entire machine is working as it ought. And because it runs in a black-box fashion, it should be more resilient to implementation changes. But I'm sad to report that I have not found
Hey.comを1年使ってみての感想
およそ1年間、Hey.comを使ってみたので感想をまとめておく。 ■良い点 割と短いアドレスが取得できる まだ利用者がそれほどいなかったのか、Gmailでは絶対にとれないような短い単語のアドレスが取得でき、割と満足。そもそも`hey.com`というドメインが短くて気に入っている。 iOSアプリのUIが見やすい 文字のサイズ・太さから始まり、すべてにおいてクリーンなUIで非常に見やすくなっている。 アクションボタンなども洗練されているように感じ、とても好み。 Hey Worldがシンプルで良い `Hey World` まさしくこれ。Hey.comから`world@hey.com`に向けてメールを送ると、それを即座にブログ投稿として公開してくれる。非常にシンプルで良いと思う。ブログサービスは様々あるけれど、いろんな設定やカスタマイズがあって気が散っちゃうからね。その点`Hey World`は設
Multi-tenancy is what’s hard about scaling web services
January 14, 2024 Multi-tenancy is what’s hard about scaling web services Computers have gotten so ridiculously fast that there is scarcely any organization in the world that can overwhelm a web-based information system running on a single server. All the complexity and sophistication required to run web services today stem from multi-tenancy. From having a single system serve millions of users at
Design for the web without Figma
By all accounts, Figma has been an amazing tool for designers. We've used it extensively at 37signals, and I'm sure most every other software shop has too. Adobe didn't pay $20 billion for nothing. But we don't do the bulk of our design work with or in Figma when developing Basecamp or HEY for the web. That's all done directly in HTML and CSS, as it should be. Because no matter how good Figma is,
Open source hooliganism and the TypeScript meltdown
September 7, 2023 Open source hooliganism and the TypeScript meltdown I've seen a lot of true believers argue for virtues of their favorite paradigms and methods over the decades working in software. And mostly, I look at people with a passionate preference and smile. Isn't it great that people care so much about their craft that they volunteer to extol the benefits of their favorite tools! Yes it
You can't trust Google
Google will eventually kill every single service you care about, if they can't find a way to directly monetize it with ads at a scale of billions. They're institutionally incapable of being in the product or service business, because neither products nor services butter Google's bread. Advertisement does. You can see this emphasis in a myriad of ways, but my favorite lens is customer service. Goog
Hybrid combines the worst of office and remote work
June 8, 2023 Hybrid combines the worst of office and remote work The honeymoon for remote work is over, and managers who never liked the concept to begin with are plotting its complete reversal, so that things may return to how they were before The Great Remote Experiment. This experiment convinced millions of employees of how much better life could be without a commute or even having to live by t
How to recover from microservices
I won't deny there may well be cases where a microservices-first architecture makes sense, but I think they're few and far in between. The vast majority of systems are much better served by starting and staying with a majestic monolith. The Prime Video case study that blew up the internet yesterday is but the latest illustration. Maybe once you reach the scale of Netflix or Amazon, there are areas
37signals: Hello again
When we launched our company in 1999, we were called 37signals. We started out as a web design firm that ultimately transitioned into a software company. As 37signals, we made a bunch of products over the years including Basecamp, Backpack, Campfire, Highrise, and others. We wrote a number of books, and blogged like crazy too. We were prolific. Then about 8 years ago in 2014 we decided to go all-i
