If you’re a startup selling developer tools or services and want to elevate your ✨marketing✨ in 2026 or monetize your OSS hmu. ☺️

I have 2 spots for fractional clients starting in Q1 and also open to project-based contracts.

Preference to clients in the Ruby ecosystem ofc. 💎

Active Agent The AI framework for Rails with less code & more fun.

I just cut v1.0.0 so docs.activeagents.ai and RubyGems are both the latest.

Good morning #SFRuby Conference! ☀️

I’m excited to have an overbooked workshop for Active Agent this morning and can’t wait to show many of you how to build AI in Rails.

For anyone who can’t make it, we’ll be sharing a video after the event!

Congrats to tonight’s speakers at the Tokyo Rubyist Meetup — @tonsoffun.bsky.social & @hayat01sh1da.bsky.social! 👏

A talk on what the “Rails Way” is followed by an exploration of @activeagents.ai and using Rails conventions for AI feature development was the perfect 1 2 punch. 🥊

I'm very honored to have received this year's RubyPrize from Matz's hands in Matsue last Thursday, recognizing my work on Ruby and its development tools.

I can still remember how nervous I was asking Matz for a picture back in 2016 😂 Time really flies

It's so nice to see open Avo apps.
I love how @palkan_tula implemented the filter and actions inline with the resource.
Also cool to watch @paolino's RubyLLM in the wild too.

oof, what a disappointing way to end more than 15 years of open source work. (summary by @duckinator.bsky.social at pup-e.com/goodbye-ruby...). good luck to the remaining RubyGems team, and it’s time to focus my energy on new projects that I’m truly excited about, like rv.dev

Just got back from Rails World in Amsterdam.

I'm incredibly grateful for all the support, feedback, encouragement, and motivation over the past few days.

Thank you to everyone who came to my talk, shared ideas, or took the time to chat. ❤️

Rails World 2025 summary slide of Marco's talk.

Rails World 2025 summary slide of Marco's talk.

At Rails World 2025, I introduced ReActionView, an initiative to explore what's possible in the Rails view layer for 2025 and beyond.

As part of this, I announced Herb::Engine, an ActionView-compatible ERB engine built on top of the HTML-aware Herb Parser.
