DHH: Basecamp 5, Vibe Coding, and the Future of Rails
Main point:
@rails is not “old tech”.
Rails may become even more valuable in the AI era.
Why? AI works better with:
> conventions
> clear structure
> stable patterns
> mature APIs
> less framework churn
Rails code from 10–20 years ago still feels familiar today.
That means Rails knowledge compounds.
You don’t need to relearn the framework every 2 years.
thanks @robbyrussell

Reminder: most suggestions you’ll read about “killer prompts to use with Fable” are not good for Fable.
Anthropic published a guide for how different prompting is with their new token torching model:

Herdr is really good, testing it entire day. Goes soooo well with my "run agents on VPS" way of doing stuff. I just do `herdr --remote myssh` and thx to WezTerm I can even paste images. Recommending a lot ! herdr.dev/

Andrej Karpathy spent 2h showing how he actually uses AI day to day
he's a co-founder of OpenAI and led AI at Tesla, so when he shows how he works, it’s worth watching
and the whole session is just him telling the machine what he wants in simple terms, like he's briefing a coworker
watch what's actually happening the entire time:
> he describes the task in normal words
> it goes off and does the work
> he glances at the result and nudges it with one more sentence
that's the whole skill, and you've had it since you learned to talk
the only gap between that and a worker that runs on its own is handing that sentence a schedule and the tools to act
check his work, then build the version that keeps working when you stop

given I use 2 Linux laptops (along 1Mac) it sucks not to have CMUX on them, this could be an answer 🤔testing it on monday

Hello Rubyist. Working hard all day is great, but maybe it's time to cool down. New in RubyGems/Bundler 4.0.13:

I have one agentic coding trick that nearly no-one uses yet it will guarantee improve what Claude/Codex/... produces, You want to hear it?
🪄Last sentence of your prompt you end up with "do you have any questions?"
... Talk to the Model !!! before it start producing slop

I'm actually paying $20 plan on all 3: Claude, Codex (ChatGPT) and Cursor just to figure out which one works best in which flow

Pay attention to Cursor, They really stepped up their game. They are no longer just VS Code with an Agent Chat window. They introduced separate agenetic app similar to Cursor APP (Which actually works on both OSx and Linux) The Composer 2.5 model is much better as it used to be

Lexxy is now on prod Basecamp 5
May 26
Lexxy is now at a production-Basecamp quality level.
Getting there has required a huge amount of work. Amazing effort led by Samuel Péchèr and @zoltanhosszu.
