📣 Exciting news! I’m co-organizing an AI Hackathon with the SF Ruby team — and you’re invited!

Ruby has long been the go-to framework for solo developers. But with the rise of LLMs, we’re asking: How far can we take Ruby in the world of AI? Let’s explore that together.

While I stay close to Rails conventions, my current stack that I exploring

RSpec > Minitest
FactoryBot > Fixtures
Rubocop with standard > Rails omakase
Vite > Propshaft/importmaps
Inertia/React > Turbo/Hotwire/Stimulus
Dokku > Kamal

While I have gone back and forth, this is my happy place

I just published a new gem to provide Zanzibar-style fine grained authorization in Ruby on Rails.

Would appreciate some feedback

Why is #Rails community's aversion with React?

For a framework that boost conventions, there’s no recommended way to mount a React component.

Yes, React isn’t the ‘best’ but the ecosystem is massive.

Rebuilding everything in Hotwire isn’t economical— even Shopify, Gusto, and GitHub use React. 🤷‍♂️

Do developers typically commit `config/credentials.yml.enc` and `config/production.yml.enc` to source code in their Rails applications, or do they prefer using plain old environment variables (ENV)?

Curious to know everyone's thoughts

My evolution of frontend for Rails apps: In most cases, step two with a sprinkle of step three should be sufficient.

Does Ruby on Rails have Zanzibar-style tuple authorization? Anything above Pundit or Cancancan

Looks like @joel.drapper.me has inspired me to look at Svetle as a React replacement.

In the last 16 hours, I watched The Pianist, Soul, Inside Out 2, and Gone Girl. Great start to my vacation 🙏
