Some rails application, especially in SaSS category will behave differently based on the different subdomain. In that case, pow is necessary, as it makes simulate subdomain much easier compare with edit based on /etc/hosts.
And finally, using http://product-hunt.dev to access rails application without using rails s.
Because now there is no terminal to running rails s, so you now have to use tail -f log/development.log to monitor, it’s not a big deal, in fact, more flexible as it enables you Ctrl+C any time and leaves the interesting log in the terminal to read.
The big issue is now you are no access the Byebug as even Byebug is paused, we have no access to it, so must using remote mode of byebug.
Luckily, it’s still not too hard, just following product_hunt commit will do the job.
Just got the Macbook Pro 2016 with touch bar 15' edition, setting it up takes my one full day. If the China network condition is good, I believe it will take much less time.
I decide the Macbook Pro from scratch instead of using migration assist because I want to keep the system clean. I will install as much application as possible from App Store, then the Homebrew, if both software repository can not find it, install it manually.
Apple store installation is the easiest one, once you log in and you will get all the application you have purchased.
brew are also relative easier, I even using brew to install Chrome and Firefox, via brew cask install google-chrome.
I would like to use percona instead of MySQL because, in China, Aliyun RDS is primarily based on percona, so I favor using the same software in dev env.
It will finally take 76Gb after installing all my needs, about 33% used, so I believe in buying a 256Gb SSD edition of rMBP should be enough for my next four years usage.
