I shared some details on subtyping, variance and higher-order types coming to Literal 2. This is more of an internal capability of the type system; I’ll share more details about some of the features it powers soon.

Literal 2 feature preview: Variance and higher-order types

Literal 2 can tell whether one type is a subtype of another. The rule: type a is a subtype of type b if it can be proven that every object permitted by a is also permitted by b. These comparisons work...

actually sad to read this all out. Ruby Central was foundational in my early career. I learned so much from conference videos and so forth early in. The relationships I built in the hallways of RailsConf and RubyConf stand through my career today. But Ruby Central is not the same as it once was.

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. This post is my attempt to answer the questions I’ve been getting over and over, covering: 1) what is Ruby Central doing now? 2) has the dispute over Bundler…

Learned a bunch of fantastic new phrases lately: 1. Token-bound — when one’s performance is limited by a lack of AI tokens. 2. Trad programmer (or coder) — someone who writes code by hand. 3. Token laundering — when you let a colleague Slack you a prompt to run with your own AI allowance.

If I had a few hundred thousand dollars a year in AI tokens to spend, could I be that much more productive than if we hired another engineer? I don’t know, but this is starting to look more realistic than ever. And what is the limit?

We can’t have a world where only good people have access to powerful AI. So we need to pick between: 1. A world where everyone has access to powerful AI and most software is patched quickly, or 2. A world where only some people have access to powerful AI and most software is unpatched.

They sentenced someone who wasn’t even at the ICE protest to 30 years in prison for moving “left-wing zines” at the request of his wife, who was arrested at the protest.

The ninth defendant, Daniel Sanchez-Estrada was not at the protest, but was convicted of corruptly concealing a document or record after prosecutors said he moved leftwing zines and other materials at the request of Rueda, his wife, after she was arrested. Sanchez-Estrada was sentenced to 30 years in prison on Tuesday.

Project Glasswing by Anthropic was an irresponsible marketing stunt that has made the world less safe. If Mythos is so good at finding security vulnerabilities then they needed to get it into the hands of OSS maintainers as quickly as possible. Keeping it for a select few was grossly negligent.
