I've just restarted writing Ruby on Rails for an interview take-home after a couple of years away from it, and literally every single step, I had to look up the exact syntax/methods, or more commonly things just didn't work out of the box, or as they should have or as expected/remembered and I had to look things up. Often the online answers are wrong (yeah go ahead and use 'first()' and 'reverse' in your model scopes to get reverse ordering, forcing rails to load the entire set from db).

Oh yes, you have to run rspec init after you bundle install it. Don't forget factorybot needs this little config file. Oh didn't I mention, form_with breaks error messages? And on and on. I knew exactly what I wanted (I used to know it pretty in-depth), but just experienced constant shin-scrapes and paper-cuts getting back into it.

This is where I imagine GPT shines - though I don't know because I can't get an account.
