Rails 8's default Active Job backend is solid_queue. It lives in the same single Postgres as everything else (including solid_cache). No Redis or anything to have to wrangle. Recur…

Hey, thanks so much for the kind words and taking a look! Search observation: What you're noticing with search is the currently intended behavior, but you raise an interesting poin…

Yeah I’ve used mainly Claude code and recently kimi with pi for dev. Honestly the vast majority of features and improvements happened in the last few months with AI enablement. The…

Thanks for taking a look! Yeah, these programs are very new and pretty uncommon (for now). As for why I chose Rails - I just know Rails really well. I've been using it since 2012 o…

Thank you! I couldn't agree more. Big questions to answer, and your framing is exactly why I went into this.

It's fun! Cool way for new projects to compete to get a backlink, assuming the hall of fame persists forever. Maybe more pomp and circumstance for crossing some number milestones. …

Better you holding the bag than me. Unfortunately all of us will be holding parts of it.

If that ends up being true, they should be very surprised. We're looking at ~$725B combined hyperscaler capex in 2026 (on a path to $1.08T by 2028) against roughly $25B of AI servi…
