I love this quoted post's use of the term "gaslighting" and its mention of the fact that "engineers are naturally attracted to tools that help them be as productive as possible" (see the quoted post). It is so true! If AI's benefits were so cut and dried, there wouldn't be that big of a controversy about it.
Also, engineers don't like to be micro-managed, yet to be trusted and treated as intelligent engineers who can try and judge tools for themselves. It's one thing if an engineer didn't try AI and is avoiding it for no rational reasons. It's another when they've used it, potentially for extended periods of time, and that is exactly what helped them identify so many weaknesses in it, like the ones described in "Andy's Laws of AI in Software Engineering":

AI Agents are an Anti-Social Developer's dream come true. Instead of such a dev learning to socialize and collaborate more with coworkers, they push off tasks to AI Agents to avoid collaborating with other Software Engineers, thus ultimately producing less humane inferior Software.
In my 20's, I personally pushed myself very hard to get over my anti-social tendencies in wanting to work on a computer alone in a corner. That eventually graduated me into doing collaboration following the eXtreme Programming highly social approach, and then eventually settling on a less structured Lean/Agile approach.
Devs who don't pay attention to that while over-relying on AIs will end up producing the worst kind of Software possible. Even if they feel "productive", their productivity will be completely offset by lack of humanity. Alas, all customers are humans, so they experience Software best the more humane it is, not less.

Some of the truly interesting stories about AI that I heard at RubyConf Austria 2026 from experts in a panel were:
- One expert mentioned that an open-source Software Engineer got so overwhelmed by all the AI-generated Pull Requests he kept receiving on GitHub that he quit the open-source project he was maintaining with complete frustration at the low-quality and bad communication he had in all the AI-generated Pull Requests.
- Another expert mentioned that he built a piece of Software (might have been a rails web app) completely with AI via full Vibe Coding. But, after adding a good number of features, code complexity kept getting worse and worse. He wasn't reviewing the code directly yet following a full Vibe Coding approach that demands "trusting the AI", so he wasn't able to stop the code from getting more complicated in spite of attempts (probably through talking to AI) to fix that. Eventually, the entire Software Project collapsed under its own weight and became completely unsalvageable.

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

One of the most useless things that React.js devs do when using styled-components is creating many fake "components" (e.g. <FullName>, <Street>, <City>, etc...) that are nothing but a basic element that has a CSS class on it to style it a certain way, and then using each of them once, which defeats the point of creating them as components.
WELL, JUST USE CSS FOR THAT!!! THAT'S WHAT CSS WAS CREATED FOR!!!
These things explode the complexity of the code exponentially by forcing devs to know about too many "components" that are not real components as they have no unique behavior, yet are all just `input` or `label` elements for example.
That's another reason using Glimmer DSL for Web to create components in Frontend Ruby is infinitely simpler, more maintainable, and more productive as it provides devs with a `style { }` block inside every component, to allow simple styling of HTML elements with a Ruby CSS DSL without having to create an infinity of custom fake styled "components".

The question many devs fail to ask when talking about AI is whether customers need it to deliver good enough work for them. A lot of the time, the answer is no, rendering all arguments for AI moot.

The real reason most devs use AI is to "feel cool", "have fun", and "be popular with other devs who use AI, especially the young crowd", not to serve customers in the best way possible. Let that sink in! I know some people don't admit that to themselves, but that's the truth of many AI-reliant devs nowadays. That's exactly why you can't trust anything they say about AI. This applies to DHH from Rails too, unfortunately.

Using React in Ruby on Rails web apps is akin to putting a big L loser sign on one's forehead. It immediately tells us that the devs doing so are incompetent! #react #sucks #deletereact #deletejs #ruby #rails #rubyonrails #frontend #dev #frontenddevelopment
Who is Ruby's enemy in Frontend Development?
(See attached meme)
The Ruby Community!
Many Ruby community members don't believe in Ruby outside of standard Rails (closed minded or unimaginative), aren't committed to Ruby (meaning hypocrites who claim to be Rubyists, but use inferior tech to Ruby like JavaScript/React), or aren't intelligent enough to recognize innovation in Ruby (lacking intelligence without being humble enough to be able to overcome the problem in the future, often subject to the Dunner-Kruger effect of not knowing what they don't know).
The good news is all the haters of Ruby in Frontend Development have eliminated themselves from the competition pool (easily about 50% of the community), so the ones that do appreciate Ruby in Frontend Development can outperform them at any Frontend Development tasks in Ruby on Rails web applications as opposed to using JavaScript libraries like React. Code doesn't lie. Projects like Glimmer DSL for Web (award winning FOSS project) demonstrated beyond the shadow of a doubt that you can write a lot less code with Ruby than with React, and with much better readability too. That's not even open for debate anymore. Thanks to haters of Ruby who give the rest of us job security at their expense!

Overheard from attendees at #RubyConf #Austria 2026: "What's with all the talks about AI! We just want some Ruby talks without AI!" (3 devs were chatting about this).
I responded to them: "I am giving a talk with zero mention of AI."
Them: "Thank you very much! We really appreciate it!"
My talk on "Frontend Ruby on Rails with Glimmer DSL for Web" went very well! Many people approached me to give me positive feedback with big smiles on their faces after the talk.
