Mapping Concepts Into Code

on YouTube ↗37m

" summary

Builds a working gem called noticed gem that maps notification concepts into Rails code using ActionMailer, ActiveJob, database records and websockets. Extracts an ordered options wrapper and a small deliver_by object to encapsulate job options, splits Notifier/Event/Notification to avoid 10,000× param duplication, and uses metaprogramming (inherited hook and class_eval) plus single table inheritance to inject per-notifier helpers. Early choices (where database models live and naming collisions) cause pain, but the refactor largely succeeds and enables bulk deliveries.
