Boring Rails
Nintendo is known for using boring technologies. Not the worst plan. Here are some tips on handling complexity on Rails in a boring pragmatic way.
Sane Breakpoints

About
Nikolay Ostrovsky
Strategist by wiring. I see patterns where others see chaos. Two decades of building complex systems — from pharmacy chains to education platforms to real-time analytics. Freediving, motorcycles, biohacking — everything runs through the same filter: logic first, then intuition.
INTJ: Architect of Reality — the rarest personality type. Sees the whole system before writing a single line of code. 20 years of architecture × AI = unlimited leverage.
