Using my sentiero gem (www.sentiero.app) in production now (still got rough edges but Im working on them). So useful to see user journeys and be able to immediately respond with UX/UI improvements, fixes and content updates... all while knowing the data is stored in house and purged regularly.

`sentiero` browser session tracking/recording Ruby gem is finally up. Took a while; added (basic) error tracking & analytics features too Its a Rack app so can be used standalone, or mount as Rails engine. It tries hard to have privacy respecting defaults & opt-outs. github.com/stevegeek/se...

GitHub - stevegeek/sentiero: Browser session recording for Ruby. Like Hotjar etc. Works with any Rack framework. Privacy-first defaults. Rails integration by sentiero-rails.

Just saw this evilmartians.com/chronicles/a... , and yes def feeling the AI assisted burnout. The rate of constant high cognitive load (as they put it) work is exhausting. Everything is "just one more prompt", or "just one more subagent" away...

AI-assisted engineers are burning out, is this fine?—Martian Chronicles, Evil Martians’ team blog

AI-assisted code generation is not free. It comes with a hidden cost: burnout. Are we dangerously ignorant to this problem? And how can we cope with it? In this post, we discuss this question.

I’m really excited about this. Phlex and Literal are joining the Ruby Users Forum, replacing our GitHub discussions. You can get support from me and others in the community over there. ❤️

Literal and Phlex are 2 very interesting and useful Ruby projects that you should check out if you haven't already. www.rubyforum.org/t/phlex-lite... #ruby #phlex #literal

Really enjoying @exe.dev so far. Create a VM in seconds, and then you can use a coding agent via a web interface on the box to quickly get stuff setup. I went from nothing to deployed postgres on one VM, a Rails app in another, with tailscale to network them in a few minutes.

Lovely time at @rubyconitaly.bsky.social . so nice to get to hang out with a community of people who are all just really nice and friendly. + great talks, and great food. Thanks everyone! Wish I was still in Rimini instead of blocked jn traffic (truck on fire in motorway tunnel up a head I think… 😬)

Working with claude on porting basecamp/writebook to an equivalent crystal Marten app to see what it entails

Stephen@diaconou.com · 3mo ago

Been fleshing out a turbo-rails Crystal shard equivalent for Marten framework. Interested to see if I can port a typical "modern" Rails app over (ie uses Turbo etc)

Finally, after too many years, I've pushed 1.0.0 of typed_operation gem. Blurb: a command pattern, callable, chainable, traceable, can be partially applied, curried and w. typed params. Auth to execute via action_policy if desired. rubygems.org/gems/typed_o... / beta.gem.coop/@stephen/typ...

Starting to migrate from AWS for DNS, CDN etc to Cloudflare. So far so good but the AI assistant in Cloudflare is bit rubbish. Eg gave me example Worker script logic that is clearly wrong, (it corrected when I pointed out the problem but still…). Maybe they need a stronger model to power it

Just having a look at Avo 4 by @avohq.io ... looks amazing! Can't wait to do the upgrades. Nice work @adrianthedev.com and team!

gem.coop are cooking up some great features for their gem host/registry. Looking forward to watching it evolve

"Pushing gem to beta.gem.coop/@stephen ... yaml_csp_config-1.2.0.gem uploaded 🎉" Pushed my first gem to my new namespace.

Just requested "stephen" namespace on gem.coop ... maybe a bit optimistic 😆 ... if they say no I won't be upset

Anyone stopped using a 'traditional' CI in favour of the new "local ci" (ci.rb) approach in Rails? Had any issues? eg cause of diff between local env vs a remote envs?

Just trying out Claude Code agent teams. Pretty powerful (but maybe a bit flakey, but it is 'beta'). For a feature build, I ran planning first, with agents for various skills & one playing devil's advocate. Once the plan was compiled and done, I created an implementation team,

Went to my first LRUG on Monday in London, great experience. Shame there are not a lot of Ruby meet ups in Italy

Combining prosopite gem, a custom logger for it, a simple CSV store, and a set of rake tasks for querying the store, I can automatically persist the N+1s that come up in my Rails app as I work on it and have a Claude Code subagent work through them in the background. Nice

Wanted Topaz Video/Gigapixel working on Linux via Wine (& prime-run) but my external GPU was not detected. Claude Code did so much experimentation: rebuilding libs w. logging, disassembling topaz DLLs etc, til it found root cause, then binary patched it (skips a check in a DLL). Works now, Amazed..

My new gem ‘hone’ is now running on charm-ruby (not pushed yet as hit a snag that raises a Go exception) Can I say : First!

Marco Roth@marcoroth.dev · 7mo ago

Alongside the Ruby 4.0 release last week, I published charm-ruby over Christmas, bringing @charm.land's excellent terminal UI libraries to Ruby. A full TUI framework, reusable components, styled output, forms, markdown rendering, spinners, charts, and a lot more! Demos below ⬇️

Wow amazing! Thanks again @marcoroth.dev

LLM agents are taking over so have decided to split my personal computing from work related (ie for privacy, data security etc) Just received my little work machine, a Ryzen 9950X with 64GB RAM, should speed up the test suite runs at least!
