After reading a blog post provocatively called “Today I accept that Rails is yesterday’s software” I felt the need to reply. I’m not sure why, I’m not going to convince anyone of anything, definitely not the author of that post. I want to reply because Rails is my current platform of choice, and let’s be honest, seeing […]
Look at all the things he's not doing
David's keynote was sure where Rails is heading and quiet on how we get there. The rest of Rails World had better answers.
The impact of the late majority
When Ruby on Rails first got going, I spent a lot of time contrasting code with the folks in Javaland. Rails had drawn substantial…

Open source to closed doors: RubyGems control fight erupts
: Ruby Central is accused of ousting maintainers from core gems under pressure from Shopify
When @bsky.app pulls this kind of crap often, whilst also expecting the community to do the heavy-lifting in actually convincing people to try out the AT Protocol... it's really difficult to feel hopeful about the future of Bluesky and its constituents. I imagine many agree with this stance.
