I got our app up to Rails 7 and it's refreshing. I also did the hard work to replace webpacker with esbuild and dartsass. Build times went from 14 minutes to < 2m and I could shave some more of that off with a bit of effort.

I'm taking every opportunity to replace stimulus reflex with turbo and that's paying dividends, too.

Also, I've bought a 15' West Wight Potter and am doing a bunch of work on that (well, the trailer right now, but once the trailer is done I can start on the boat). Looking forward for this foundational work to start paying off when I go sailing around the islands over summer.

Struggling with this also. It's crazy how "dealing with assets" has been the weak spot for Rails so consistently all these years (even though the specifics behind it have changed entirely 3+ times or more now).

I have an inflatable kayak, too! Love it.
