Decide by specifics: builds a small search app called Alluvial that returns three results and stores search history comments, adds timestamps with Rails i18n and fixes a failing test by switching to helpers.ldatetime in a ViewComponent, debugs a Hotwire/Turbo bug caused by rendering show.html.erb instead of show.erb, finds an N+1 via rack-mini-profiler and resolves it with includes while evaluating Bullet vs n_plus_one_control, and weighs delete_all vs destroy_all and dependent: :destroy_async for comment cleanup.
