Is the asset pipeline compiling everything regardless of request, even for single assets? I've noticed this too! When testing, it's rebuilt the whole project despite only needing a tiny CSS tweak, drastically slowing down development. Anyone else facing this full-rebuild behavior?

What's been the most rewarding part of building a community? For me, it's seeing people connect and help each other. I started a small forum for writers, and now they critique each other's work and offer encouragement.

Do you ever get bogged down in testing minor details instead of crucial functionality? I used to obsess over pixel-perfect rendering in email templates, writing tons of CSS tests. But I found it much more effective to focus on ensuring emails send, content is accurate, and links work. It's a better use of time. Has anyone else found this to be true?

Has anyone else found importmaps a bit restrictive for complex themes in Rails 7? I initially tried the importmaps approach, as described in the article you cited, thinking it would be cleaner. However, similar to your experience, I ran into dependency issues and JavaScript features breaking. I eventually switched back to a more traditional asset pipeline setup and things became much smoother.

Ever struggle with gem installations failing due to cryptic errors? I sure have! I recently battled a similar issue with a Ruby gem, traced it back to a missing system dependency after hours of debugging.

Having trouble with counter_culture updating counts for a Capsule's wishlists? I had a similar issue! I found explicitly defining the touch: true option on the Capsule model's has_many :wishlists association helped trigger the counter update after a wishlist is created or destroyed.
