Great news, everyone! This year's "State of CIDER" survey is out! (see docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…) Please, take the time to share there how you're using CIDER, so we can make it even better! I'd appreciate it if you shared the survey around, so we can get as much input as possible from our beloved community!

Great news, everyone! After a TON of work, RuboCop 1.92 is out with many improvements that make it play better with AI agents (and many other fixes and enhancements). Read all about those here metaredux.com/posts/2026/10/… Feedback welcome! Enjoy!

I've been saying the same thing for ages. I've been maintaining some reasonably prominent OSS projects for 15 years now. Good project leadership is all about vision, consistency, being around and nurturing a community. Sadly vibe-coding often works in the opposite direction.

I'm happy to report that rubocop.org has been totally overhauled and it's more informative and sexy than ever! Enjoy the new playground and the retro-inspired looks! Feedback and comments are very welcome!

RuboCop 1.91 is out and it's the most interesting release in quite a while. Try some of the new features like `--diff`, `--changed` and `--preview` and read all about the improvements here github.com/rubocop/rubo... The journey towards RuboCop 2.0 begins today!

Flycheck 38 is out with several major improvements (built-in Eglot support, native LSP client, inline diagnostics, quick-fixes, and project-wide diagnostics)! You can read all about it here emacsredux.com/blog/2026/07/… Emacs forever!

RuboCop 1.88 is out with an EPIC number of bug-fixes and small improvements github.com/rubocop/rubocop/r… Enjoy!

Emacs loves AsciiDoc batsov.com/articles/2026/06/… I hope you'll enjoy all the recent improvements in adoc-mode and asciidoc-mode!

Au 79

Of course, without fluency in the language that your AI agents are using... good luck trying to assess their fluency. ;-) I get the point Hamilton is trying to make, but I still feel more comfortable using languages where I have deeper expertise, especially for "real work".

Here's the slide deck from my "Future of RuboCop" talk at @RubyConfAT speakerdeck.com/bbatsov/rubo…

The evolution of programming in the past couple of decades: - 2000 - 2010 -> waiting for the compiler - 2010 - 2025 -> waiting for the tests - 2026 - ? -> waiting for my Claude Code account limits to reset

RuboCop 1.85 is out! (github.com/rubocop/rubocop/r…) It features many new cops, a built-in MCP server and many small fixes and improvements! The user docs have been reorganized and improved a lot as well! Enjoy!
