Jared Norman @jardo.dev · 29/09/2026I probably could/should have framed a bunch of the points in here more positively too. my bad, but I don't have more energy to keep editing this. next blog will be more positive. 🙂 020

Jared Norman @jardo.dev · 26/09/2026Rails continues to solve the problems I face as much as ever. the takeaway from my post isn't that I'm upset that there's no next big thing for Rails. there really doesn't need to be. I would be fine with that. 050
Jared Norman @jardo.dev · 26/09/2026if this is the end of dhh's hype cycles around Rails, no biggie. I appreciate the folks doing security, performance, general maintenance, and smaller feature work. plus there's bigger independent stuff like Herb from Marco. that excites me. 120
Jared Norman @jardo.dev · 26/09/2026every store I've ever worked on has monkey-patched a bunch of classes, overridden views, hacked up existing controllers, and more. it comes with a cost and I assume will (somewhat justifiably) recoil at the idea, but the value of the flexibility outweighs those costs. 120
Jared Norman @jardo.dev · 26/09/2026I'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. 120
Jared Norman @jardo.dev · 25/09/2026the talk didn't fit the setting and didn't do a good job of arguing for what it argued for. my views on AI are complicated, but I don't feel like I'd have got much from that talk even if I was much closer to his position. 110

Reposted by Jared NormanMarco Roth @marcoroth.dev · 24/09/2026Today 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. 36611
Jared Norman @jardo.dev · 25/09/2026It's an interesting one. I'm working on something that's under wraps and I struggle to imagine building it with any other language. I think a lot of people out there don't understand what Ruby's dynamism buys you. 130
Jared Norman @jardo.dev · 25/09/2026I don't agree with him, but that's not the point of what I wrote 010
Jared Norman @jardo.dev · 25/09/2026tbf most of them are just arguing that dhh's vision of the future is right, something that I wasn't even actually arguing against in my blog, but expecting hn commenters to have basic reading comprehension is too much 130
Jared Norman @jardo.dev · 25/09/2026someone collected all the people who disagree with me and dumped them into this comment section news.ycombinator.com/item?id=498396… 230
Jared Norman @jardo.dev · 25/09/2026also, please understand that if you already hate his position on AI or his politics, this wasn't really written with you in mind as the reader. I don't think I did a perfect job, but I was trying to focus on making the argument for folks that weren't already convinced. 040
Jared Norman @jardo.dev · 25/09/2026if 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 380
Jared Norman @jardo.dev · 25/09/2026norman. I think at least historically what @tenderlove.dev and Gary Bernhardt also used. I actually gave up on going back to qwerty today. 010
Jared Norman @jardo.dev · 25/09/2026besides being full of holes, DHH's latest keynote also had near nothing to say to Rails users. cool cool cool. jardo.dev/what-about-rails 32811
