Hello, Ruby Friends! New episodes of The Ruby on Rails Podcast are going to start rolling out soon! If all goes well, the first new episode should go up next week. The podcast has a brand new host who is very excited to hit the ground running.
Made this last week as a bit of fun to tease Podia’s new branding on podia.com (just launched, pending acceptance by the DNS gods). This also marks our major pivot towards community features because, in this AI world, content is dead as a creator business model and connection is everything.

Forget the Gordie Howe Hat Trick, show me the Jack Hughes Hat Trick: Lose a tooth, take a penalty, win the game in OT.
I still think Guentzel over Caufield was a horrible choice. But at least it wasn't Bennet over Bedard. GM is gonna get some serious hate for that fumble
Amazing! Now can we shut up about the Tkacucks, it's the Hughes brothers now!
Sonnet 4.6 is def faster than 4.5 and I like that it’s cheaper than Opus but I feel like it’s not as good. I don’t actually have any hard data to back this up. It’s just a feeling. Has anyone else been using Sonnet and have thoughts?
Excited to see everyone tonight! Don't forget to RSVP if you haven't yet!
