I found the approach of “Make the change easy, then make the easy change” (coined by @KentBeck) really useful for AI coding: radan.dev/articles/pure-refa…

@RadanSkoric this is a good piece. Also, I am so annoyed on your behalf by the necessity of defending…caring?…about the process and result.

@dhh dijo en Rails World: "if your app doesn't have a CLI, I want to see it by next Friday".
No fue el viernes, pero itsjustmy.blog ya tiene CLI 🙃 itsjustmy.blog/cli

"As if", a new post covering Aaron's closing keynote, DHH's new rust port of campfire, performance, and maintainability. Yes, it is "AI slop", but I think the questions this piece poses are worth exploring. intertwingly.net/blog/2026/0…

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.

Hatchbox.io now has templates you can use to design your clusters visually. 🎉
It makes setting up servers and their roles much easier so you can optimize how your Rails applications get deployed.

Next release is coming soon so check it out if you are interested in a single Rails engine for your performance and exception monitoring needs.

I’m thinking about banning Claude code at Shopify until they change their mind and read AGENTS.md and .agents/skills etc.
Insisting on only reading CLAUDE.md sometimes leads to split brain problems when different team members use different tools. Just unnecessary.

Hey, take a look! Having some fun with ZUI, a Ruby framework for building desktop apps.
This is a small game I built entirely in Ruby using ZUI.

You can find the source code in the samples folder.

Today we shared the first results of Agents on Rails, a new, ongoing initiative to measure how well today's leading agentic coding tools (both frontier and open-weight) actually perform on Ruby on Rails codebases.
Built by @EvilMartians, commissioned by the Rails Foundation.
Read more about the project here: rubyonrails.org/2026/8/12/ll…
Check out the leaderboard: rubyonrails.org/ai
Or head right over to the first benchmark report: rubyonrails.org/2026/8/13/ag…
ALT Agents on Rails. Benchmarking how well today's leading agentic coding tools perform on Rails codebases. Built by the team at Evil Martians. Commissioned by the Rails Foundation.

Rails + AI models, which to use?
Claude Opus 4.5 is slightly more accurate and less expensive than Fable, although a tad slower. However, you can get essentially the same results with Kimi K3 for almost half the price.
We know this because we worked with @Rails to benchmark the performance of eight AI models against 21 atomic tasks and evals.
This project gave us the amazing opportunity to work hand in hand with @AmandaBPerino and the Rails Foundation on the creative task of building Rails-centric LLM benchmarking.
But also, this helps move the ecosystem forward and hopefully allows the community to keep ideating with Rails.
Congrats to @skryukov_dev and Artur Petrov for their work on this!

I built Activepad, a native macOS scratchpad for Rails apps.
It’s like the Rails console, but with a proper editor: multi-line snippets, tabs, code completion, and results that stay visible while you iterate.
Would love to hear what the Rails community thinks.

I'm an old programmer (by programmer standards). I use agents daily, extensively. Here's a view from the other side of "wooooow look how many lines it wrote!", taken from my work today.
