What was your last dev related Google Search?

Lewis Menelaws on January 03, 2019

Ah, Google... Imagine a world of being a developer without you. Google and Stack Overflow are like my mom and dad helping me through my silly mista...

"on duplicate index update"

This is something I learned about far too recently, considering how long I've been using MySQL. It turns out that when doing a bulk insert, you can have MySQL automatically update records on a key/index conflict. That way your bulk insert won't fail on duplicate records and you can insert/update in bulk in a single query.

Very cool!

has_many through unique Rails

Found a bug in our code causing duplicate records being returned. It has been a while since I wrote some solid ActiveRecord code so I needed a refresher on the syntax.
