Pry Until You Die

on YouTube ↗32m

" summary

Explains how Pry actually halts and injects into a running Ruby process by calling binding.pry (binding is an object that snapshots locals/self), shows show_source on Binding, and demos a small diary app (User, Journal, Entry) using the gems pry, pry-doc, and pry-rails to view source, docs, models and routes. Demonstrates that foreman clobbers debugger input but overmind (and overmind connect) preserves interactive keystrokes, and cites a dhh Rails issue and a bin/dev workaround for Solid Q.
