Every decision in Ruby or Rails is a trade-off… and a bit of taste.

What made perfect sense years ago might be the very thing holding us back from improving the experience for someone just starting today.

Next month at Rails World, I will be on stage with @hsbt, @tenderlove, and @_byroot. We will talk about the future of developer experience, the daily reality of maintaining vital OSS projects like RubyGems, Bundler, RDoc, Debug, and ERB, and how Ruby and Rails can become more welcoming and inviting for contributors.

If you had the mic, what would you ask them… and why?

PostCSS: born from vendor prefix pain, now quietly shaping the CSS universe, alongside Google and Tailwind. What 12 years of building for devs taught us—mistakes, speed, burnout, alchemy, told by our very own @sitnikcode:

I'm shocked how most people use ChatGPT like a search bar, asking dumb questions and then telling everyone how stupid it is.

They forget that the answer depends on HOW you ask the question.

In my n8n setup, GPT writes smart summaries, makes decisions, rewrites emails, and does so much more.

It’s a grail, if you know HOW to use it and WHERE to place it in the system.

These models are trained for agentic workflows—supporting function calling, web search, Python execution, configurable reasoning effort, and full raw chain-of-thought access. github.com/openai/gpt-oss

AI slop overrated or underrated?

Reminder: we ported the new Rails Getting Started Guide to the browser (using Wasm) to allow engineers to get a taste of @rails before they have to install it: rails-tutorial.evilmartians.io
It's not perfect yet, but please share and bring us feedback!

New Rails learning resources for beginners:
• An add‑on tutorial to add Sign Up to your e‑commerce app
• A new video series with Typecraft (in case you missed it)
• A dedicated Tutorials hub to hold it all

Hey legends, today I started using whisper typing (whispertyping.com) and I find it quite useful.

Rename complete:

github.com/aviflombaum/pr…

In the future, make sure your gem name is available and what you want before generating it because the rename is messy.

This enables easier automation of repetitive tasks 😎
And brings much more than that to the table 🚀
Thanks @AnthropicAI!

I'm looking to work with a designer for 10-20 hours, 2-3k, to help me with some design/animations for a website. Link your portfolio.
