A big shoutout to @adrianthedev and Avo for sponsoring Blastoff Rails this year. He was one of the first people to support when this conference started to take shape. From financial backing and moral support to providing physical ruby passports for our attendees. Please go check out his company Avo, a Rails framework for internal tools!

One Rails dev. No team. Competing with Gmail and many more.
That's what Cora started as and I'm rebuilding it from scratch (iOS, Android, the whole thing) with AI as my co-developer.
At @blastoffrails I'm sharing everything: how I built it, how the tools changed, and what solo development looks like from here.
See you there.

I took the #Rails survey and all I got was this lousy tweet. You can take the survey at railsdeveloper.com/survey/

Today is a hard day. I shared this note with the @linear team today: We’ve made the difficult decision to increase our workforce. This is not a cost-cutting exercise or a reflection of anyone’s performance. We’re simply reimagining every role for the agentic AI era. We’re hiring. We’re sorry about that.

Definitely watch this! I had such a good time! It is so cool to watch someone play through a game that you made!
Today at 6pm Mountain Time/8PM Eastern Time I will be going on a livestream with @ChaelCodes to play and talk about the game I made for @blastoffrails. If you are curious to hear some behind the scenes stuff come check it out! Links in reply!

Really exciting to see Herb being adopted at GitHub! 🌿
Over the past months, the GitHub team has been running Herb across one of the largest Rails codebases out there where Herb helped uncover real issues missed by existing tooling while also providing invaluable feedback. 🙌
