Why take an OS install from three minutes down to nine seconds? DHH borrows Mitchell Hashimoto's answer: excellence needs no justification. Rails World keynote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDjW_dRyKXY&t=3026s #ai #rails #programming
DHH has always hated reading Rust. Now agents write it, and he never has to look. From the Rails World keynote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDjW_dRyKXY&t=1798s #ai #rust #programming
