I wrote an update on the dispute with Ruby Central over Bundler and RubyGems. I'm sad it's reached this point, especially since Ruby Central's conferences are a big part of what convinced me to join the Ruby community back in the day. andre.arko.net/2026/07/30/rub…

Ruby Central's Destructive Legacy

At conferences and meetups, and in conversations online, many Ruby developers have asked me about Ruby Central and my disagreement with them.

Rails: The Sharp Parts. Queries, Read Models, and Batching

Queries own the reads the way commands own the writes, and a T::Struct is the only thing that crosses between them. Every read here ran against ActiveRecord 8.1 before it went in.

"Vibe coding" has gotten so overloaded that people can't separate it from LLM-assisted coding anymore. Now every contribution turns into a witch hunt over how it was written.

What if your #ai coding assistant just knew how to use your project management tools? New #RFC for #gest: gest generate skills - one command to teach any AI harness (Claude Code, opencode, Cursor, etc.) how to manage your artifacts, tasks, and iterations.

Skill File Generation · aaronmallen gest · Discussion #30
