Nexus Mods - Been having a lot of fun with Skyrim SE lately. I played the original back in 2012 but for some reason it didn't quite grab me then as it has now. But I'm blown away with how the can have such a richly-populated world in which even the most run-of-the-mill bandit cave still has a sense of individuality. And the mod scene is just staggering. Nexus has it all, for dozens of games. It takes a village.

Trailblazer for Rails - Interesting project to reimagine the MVC structure of Rails to introduce an additional layer where the business logic lives, ensuring the model is just for persistence and the controller is just for HTTP requests.
