roadmap.sh just added Ruby and Ruby on Rails tracks 🧠

https://roadmap.sh/ruby-on-rails

Didn't know this existed. Gonna use this while learning new things and making sure existing knowledge doesn't atrophy.

GitHub have put 'Primer', their ViewComponent UI library, into maintenance mode favouring React. Hopefully that's not a sign of things to come for ViewComponent itself.

Oh wow there's a few of these multi-agent GUIs, going to give Supacode a try too

Trying out @superset_sh today for running multiple Claude sessions. First impressions really good.

AGENTS.md outperforms skills in our agent evals - Vercel A compressed 8KB docs index in AGENTS.md achieved 100% on Next.js 16 API evals. Skills maxed at 79%. Here's what we learned and how to set it up.

Interesting read. I was converting everything to skills, but will hold off for now and try this out. Things move so fast round here.

This is the best Claude command I've come across:

/interview

It'll keep asking insightful questions, shape the work and eventually nail the plan!

Claude: "We can either do it this way that's easy but not as good, or this other way that's much better but really hard."

Me: "I've got some bad news for you mate ..."

My point is I think there's people wanting to learn that are being drowned out.

Other programming communities are more openly embracing it.

The gamedev community seem pretty anti-AI compared to the webdev community. Probably a huge opportunity for AI for gamedev education.

Rails is great for Claude and others because of the conventions.

The original RailsCasts code hasn't been touched for 15+ years old, but could've been written yesterday:

Gonna redesign this soon anyway, but I added dark mode to my website 🌑

Rails, Inertia, React and Tailwind is my stack right now.

Deployed with Kamal, backed by SQLite (+ solid trifecta), written by Claude.

Handy Handy is a cross platform, open-source, speech-to-text application for your computer

Kept hitting the usage limits so I've swapped Wispr Flow for Handy, an open-source alternative. I didn't need all the collaboration and business features. Works great so far!

I started using Conductor the last couple of days. Its really good.

I can't tell if my Claude usage has gone up or I'm just getting more done!

I'm a huge Hotwire fan. I love a turbo frame. But using React + Inertia with Claude makes so much sense. Claude is really, really good at it.

Having loads of fun with Claude building an MMORPG in Godot and Ruby

Always Be Clauding

Laracast's new AI series is great even if you don't use PHP or Laravel (and it's free!)

Gonna need a Ruby on Rails version of this too please and thank you

I'm Clauding hard right now

I've started using Docker to run tools like npm, composer, kamal, etc. as if they were installed locally.

Each project can use their own versions.

Add a script like `bin/npm` to your project, then you can use `bin/npm install ...`

RubyEvents.org - On a mission to index all Ruby events On a mission to index all Ruby events. Your go-to place for talks and events about Ruby.

An absolute gem (ha!) of a resource. Use it weekly.

Currently mashing refresh for the Rails World 2025 talks to drop.

Deployed and content migrated. Not so bad!

Tonight's plan: Replace my basic markdown editor with Lexxy.

Gotta move the content and media to actiontext too. Easy right?

Hmm, I'm only about 1/3 of the way through converting my Minitest/Fixture tests into RSpec/FactoryBot specs, but the run time is already 3x longer.

I bet a big reason is creating a user via the factory for every sign-in.

Could use both fixtures and factories but seems uncommon.

In Minitest, I used `assert_select` when testing content in specific HTML elements, e.g. checking the page title or H1.

In RSpec, `include` isn't as specific and can lead to false positives.

Instead, include Capybara::RSpecMatchers for `have_title` and `have_element` matchers.

Switching to RSpec for my next few projects.

Minitest is great, but it won't always be my decision to use it.

Never unsubscribing. Staying strong. Believe.
