Is It Ruby or Rails? Introducing Our New Discord Bot

At FastRuby.io, we spend our days deep in Rails codebases, upgrading, refactoring, and occasionally wondering, “Wait… is this method from Ruby or Rails?”.

Now, we’re turning that moment of confusion into a game. We’re excited to introduce Is It Ruby or Rails?, a brand new Discord bot that delivers daily puzzles to challenge your Ruby knowledge and fuel a little friendly competition.

You can install it using the Discord install link opens a new window and start playing right away!

How It Works

Every day, the bot will share a new puzzle in the channel of choice.

The task is to correctly identify if what’s being shown comes from Ruby or Rails. Upon answering, the bot will provide immediate feedback.

Then at the end of the week, the bot will share a leaderboard showing the top players.

Join the Fun

Once added, an introduction message with help commands will be sent to the server default channel, if one is configured.

You can also use the /set_channel command to define a channel for the bot to send the puzzles to. Keep in mind that if setting it to a private channel, you must also add the bot to the channel to grant it access to it.
