Just helping with editing here. These bots aren’t sentient. They’re doing what they’re programmed to do. OpenAI, a private company supposedly bound by laws, committed federal crimes.

most of the people disagreeing with my post are disagreeing with things I didn't say. that's to by expected from the folks on team "don't read"

Everyday I stray closer to Elixir + Phoenix, purely because of replies like this:

Jose Valim on Twitter saying:

You are right but it also feels short-sighted? You have the most powerful tool you ever had, you have become a 1000x maker, and you can't think of how to make your stack 10x better?

Yes, Rust is fast, the type system catches bugs, but there is so much beyond it.

* Why not make Ruby 10x faster?
* Why not make Ruby (and therefore Rails) really great at concurrency?
* Why not add a banging type system to Ruby that can provide guarantees beyond Rust?
* Why not embed SQLite3 into Rails with a replication protocol so you can really compress the stack beyond a single server?
* How to preemptively fix most bugs from the most critical parts of Rails, such as database pools?

Yes, who cares about ActiveSearch, but there are so many ways we can fundamentally improve our stacks that go beyond asking the agent to just crap out code. Phoenix is still the only framework that ships with presence, because it turns out it is deceptively a hard problem to solve correctly, but somehow all issues are solved?

I understand some folks have no interest in doing any of the above, and that's fine, but then at least pass the baton to the people who want to do exactly that.

PS: I say all of this with love ❤️

I've worked on a bunch of pieces of software that I can't imagine being built on anything but Ruby, or even Rails. Solidus is one such system. much of what makes Solidus great comes from the platforms its built on.

Today is a big day for Herb! It's built into Rails 8.2 by default for all HTML+ERB views. My talk at #RailsWorld in Austin today answered three questions: What is Herb? What ships in Rails 8.2? And what does this enable? Herb v0.11 and ReActionView v0.6 released alongside it.

if you forced me to say something nice about David, I'd say that he's done an exceptional job of keeping up the hype and energy around Rails. the framework wouldn't have the profile it does today with him. perhaps why this keynote was so striking. jardo.dev/what-about-rails
