🧱 After years of fixing mature Rails applications, Arkency says the modern Rails Way has shifted from classic MVC ideals toward Active Record models acting as workflow engines. #Railsblog.arkency.com/the-rails-w…
Absolute congrats! I have started 1-year later and @andrzejkrzywda heavily influenced every major step in my career.
Arkency is definitely great choice, wishing you a lot of success forward!
New chapter unlocked. In 2011, after the workshop with @andrzejkrzywda, I decided to go full-time as a Ruby engineer and never looked back again. 15 years after that moment, I'm joining the amazing @arkency team to help rescue, scale, and modernize Rails applications. My farewell to Rails-way is coming 🧨
Dealing with AI non-determinism within Rails apps was a hot topic at @arkency recently. Here is @lreszke approach to this problem - via deterministic Ruby code.

Speaking at @rbqconf in Austin (March 26-27) about mutation testing for validating AI-generated tests.
Topic emerged after months of experimenting with AI in legacy code at @arkency.
Let's see if Mutant can catch bugs in LLM-written tests 😎

deja-vu moment
in 2007 a nontechnical client sent me an app which he just needed to deploy because he vibe coded it on his own (this is a story how @arkency started btw because he suggested this name)
today in 2026 a nontechnical client sent me an app which he thinks is ready to be deployed because he vibe coded it
in 2007 the equivalent of vibe coding was Rails
of course at none of this case it was only about deployment, the apps need some
fixing
fun times again 😎
There would be no wroclove.rb without our amazing supporters💫
@Arkency has been with us since the very first edition, and we’re extremely grateful to have them on board again this year - thank you for making our conference possible since day one! (1/3)

Hoping to see LLM generated mutants. From my observations I have noticed that static rules often generators mutants that are extremely rare.
In either case I hope to contribute a bit since I find the repo extremely useful for our large app with 67k specs.
We’ve used Mutant at @arkency for over a decade.
Now we’re joining forces with @_m_b_j_ to bring it to more Rubyists and push it into the future of validating both human and AI-generated code.
Ruby deserves tools like this. ❤️

In a world where AI churns out code faster than we can blink, Mutant's ability to rigorously test and verify that code against specs, bacting as a high-performance self-tes, feels like its next calling.
Together, we're building not just onboarding material, but a knowledge base and ecosystem that helps Ruby developers, new and experienced alike, master mutation testing. Their track record is exactly what Mutant needs to reach its next phase.
They've spent years turning complex ideas like Rails Event Store, CQRS, and DDD into real-world, production-grade patterns for teams worldwide.
So whats going to happen:
