    days is a method on the Numeric class in Rails, and it creates an instance of ActiveSupport::Duration with self passed to the constructor (this is a bit of a simplification, because it actually calls the class method days on Duration which converts the number of days into seconds before creating the Duration instance).

      Oh god good ol ActiveSupport. I’m having flashbacks of so many ruby projects trying not to bring it in and basically reinventing it but poorly documented.

      I still would say it was the language I’ve most enjoyed (professionally used most all higher level languages over 20+ years) but it might be nostalgia for a time early 2010s when rails was just freaking magic compared to the ways we used to build web apps.
