I really love chex mix.
Richard MacManusChad Fowler re the 19th RailsConf, which he says will be his last due to AI:
"We used to argue about frameworks like they were philosophies.
Now we ask:
Which languages make the fewest errors when hallucinated?
Which runtimes are friendliest to pipelines we barely understand?
Which systems quietly reduce the need for us?
RailsConf isn’t just ending.
It’s gasping in the shadow of a new world in which code is no longer written by us,
and no longer written for us." https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7348023668272177156/
Today I’m on the way to RailsConf. | Chad Fowler
Today I’m on the way to RailsConf. The last one. I helped start it 19 years ago. This year, I’m just an attendee. A guest at a funeral. But it’s not just the death of a conference. It feels like the end of a worldview. There was a time when we loved our languages. Ruby, Haskell, Python, Node, Elixir—each a subculture. Aesthetic choices. Political choices. We didn’t just write code—we believed in it. That time is ending. Generative AI doesn’t care about our preferences. And we, increasingly, don’t either. We want languages that are easier for LLMs to generate correctly, easier for us to validate, verify, and deploy. Cheap to run. Safe at scale. Readable by the machines. We used to argue about frameworks like they were philosophies. Now we ask: Which languages make the fewest errors when hallucinated? Which runtimes are friendliest to pipelines we barely understand? Which systems quietly reduce the need for us? RailsConf isn’t just ending. It’s gasping in the shadow of a new world in which code is no longer written by us, and no longer written for us. I’m going to say goodbye. To Rails, yes. But also to the idea that code was ever meant to be a human craft? | 103 comments on LinkedIn

Why the Model Is the Wrong Starting Point for AI Apps
As AI app developers, chances are you’ll start with frontier models and then shift to smaller models. Here are ways to shorten that journey.
