Ruby on Rails is probably the most token-efficient way to write a real web app together with agents that doesn't immediately fall apart with security holes and unscalable decisions. rubyonrails.org/

Upgraded to Rails 8.1 and was exploring `bin/ci`. Tests took 6X longer to run in the new CI tooling. It turns out the env var `CI` gets set to true in the Ruby class, triggering eager loading. I'd prefer that in `bin/ci` instead. Hard to find difference. github.com/rails/rails/blob/…

I’ve been doing Ruby in Windsurf for certain tasks for about a year now. A few months ago it became worse than useless: it’s constantly taking time away from me. Today I finally correlated it to the gpt4o model switch. Went back to Claude Sonnet 3.7, and it’s magic again.

Today I vibe coded my first iOS app with windsurf. I got to “look mom!!!” very quickly. That was cool. But, the cracks of vibe coding were obvious. It created an inaccurate tuner that it couldn’t fix. You still need domain knowledge and critical thinking skills. Well, for now.

I’m learning a new piece for cello. Watching the recordings of this practice is dreadful. The apprehension is palpable. Need to get through this “learning the notes” phase. I tell my daughter to always play with gusto. Work with confidence and your tools will sing.

FOMO on #RubyConf; Wanting to see more highlights. What are you finding interesting? Anything notable in Matz's keynote?

The Shopify party was awesome, really felt like the conference sponsors went out of their way (and spared no expense) to elevate these 2 days. Thank you

I can’t wait to see all you folks at my 40° birthday party in Toronto next week. So kind of @AmandaBPerino to handle the rsvps. Oh, and also #railsworld I guess too.

Can we get new error pages for Rails 8? 👀

My favorite part of that presentation was `def method_missing(*args) = yolo`

👨🏻‍🚀 I love using Solid Queue and Mission Control. @rosapolis @jorgemanru

I remember when React first came out. I loved it. When I looked back on server side templates I thought they were old, dumb, slow. Fast forward to 1000s of headaches with state management, repainting issues, slow updates, etc. When I went back to Rails (w/ hotwire now) it was a breath of fresh air. Experience with complexity leads to appreciation of simplicity. I'm sure more and more people will see the light as they get fed up with current state of "modern web development".

RT @eileencodes: I love this because conferences breathe life in the community and increase opportunities for collaboration and learning. M…

Happy Opening Day! Not so happy that of all the changes, nothing was done about the biggest item hurting baseball. End the #blackouts @MLB @MLBNetwork @MLBONFOX @MLB_PR @MLBPA

#Rails was the first framework that helped me feel like I could one man ship a web app without hating myself. Stoked to see they're still investing in this community and codebase.

The Rails Foundation kicks off with one million dollars from @cookpad, @doximity, @fleetio, @github, @intercom, @procoretech, @Shopify, and @37signals to improve the documentation, education, marketing, and events in our ecosystem 🎉 rubyonrails.org/2022/11/14/t…

Weighing in at 434 pages, "Polished Ruby Programming" will be available for sale on July 9. Currently, it is the #1 New Release in Ruby Computer Programming! This would probably be more impressive if there was more than one new release. :) packt.live/3bfGmLI @PacktPub

I just emailed asking the same of “Shifting Baselines,” a recent excerpt from “This is Fine.” Same piece! Anyone? wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm… Is this specific to @onthemedia? It sounds so familiar, but maybe because I listen to a lot of OTM.
