Happy Birthday Bridgetown! 🥳

Six years into this #Ruby web framework & static site generator, feels like we've accomplished so much…yet there's so much left we'd still like to do. But that's #WebDev for ya. Keeps everyone on their toes.

Here's to another trip 'round the sun! 🌞🎈

Something is coming to the Bridgetown #Ruby #WebDev ecosystem…what could it be? 👀

It's been 4 years since I left Rails core, and my most impactful work has happened since I left.

Here's a writeup of it all:

I quit Rails core 4 years ago, here’s what I’ve been up to - Kasper Timm Hansen

It’s been 4 years since I quit the Rails core team, so I wanted to mark the occassion and show off all the work I’ve done since then. It’s more...

Machine translations are often brought up as a gotcha whenever I criticize LLMs. It's worth pointing out two things: Machine translations existed decades before LLMs, and yes, machine translations are useful. However: I would never in my life read a machine translated book. Understanding what a social media post is talking about in rough terms? Sure. Literature? Absolutely not. Hell, have you ever seen machine translated subtitles? It's absolute garbage.

Introducing `kiq`, Sidekiq's new terminal interface, making your occasional admin operations even faster. Give it a try and let me know how to make this an amazing tool for you.

Sidekiq in the terminal

My favorite tech movement in 2025 wasn’t anything artifical, but rather the resurgence in interest around building terminal interfaces with two new frameworks, Charm and Ratatui, which make developing pure text user interfaces easier than ever before using Go or Rust. They provide a huge set of components and examples showing you how to build various types of functionality. Mainframe applications ruled the 70s and 80s, providing terminal interfaces for business operations. You might still see a ticket agent using a terminal to check you in at the airport. That’s an interface to a mainframe application, allowing the agent to lookup your ticket and assign you a seat quickly, with just a few keystrokes. To this day I remember my mom, a pharmacist, complaining about the new DOS -> Windows upgrade that the IT department rolled out to stores. Navigating their retail point of sale terminal application was much faster with a keyboard, the Windows version required a stream of precise mouse clicks and couldn’t rely on typing by muscle memory. Today interactive terminal interfaces are rare but I think Charm and Ratatui make this option much easier to provide.

Apparently I haven't said this enough times, so I'll have to bore you all with my many repetitions in future:

An agentic source of network activity is indistinguishable from malware.
