I saw a bunch of "Ruby/Hotwire is slow" and "Who is even using Ruby for new startups today" comments on this platform the other day, and I want to share my opinion–a personal one!

Tip for destroying your work enemy (guy who is competing with you for that Staff Eng promo)
Mike Coutermarsh@mscccc

@andrewmcodes If I wrote it: delete it If my friend wrote it: delete it If my enemy wrote it: skip it, open issue, assign them, tag in very public slack channel

We do a lot of "long and slow" rollouts which upgrade people's databases. We recently built an internal "auto rollout" which slowly increases the % of a feature flag over a period of hours.

@Zach_Kamran Well, we didn't need replace AR with some other ORM or a new data access layer while sharding was being rolled out. Like I said, very little had to change in the product code because the team made it work alongside ActiveRecord. That was sort of my point 😉

@mikec Great post! Big ruby fan here. Curious how active record has helped with this migration? The article doesn’t mention ruby or active record as far as I can tell

I think Figma is a little too quiet about its use of Ruby. It's shocking how little this effort has interrupted the product engineering team. One of the secret weapons: ActiveRecord 💪 figma.com/blog/how-figma…

No one wants to lose users because of fake AI content. Whether you're an ad platform, a dating app, or a news site—consumers lose trust in a platform flooded with AI-generated content, risking churn and reputational damage. Excited to launch Nuanced, a YC-backed solution for detecting AI-generated images and deepfakes. 🚀 Nuanced solves these challenges via: 1. Custom models trained in zero PII environments. 2. Easy integration supported by your existing infrastructure. You'll never have to compromise user privacy, build costly internal systems, or take on complex integrations.
Y Combinator@ycombinator

🔎 @nuanced_dev (YC W24) detects AI-generated images. They help companies like dating apps, ad platforms, and news sites distinguish human-authored materials from AI-generated content. ycombinator.com/launches/KLI-n… Congrats on the launch, @johnny_noumenic and @aymannadeem!

Does anybody make music like this anymore? I popped it in today and forgot that every dang song is astronomically good.

@lukehefson @github I miss it too! You need a sufficiently large enough company before you can share the latest Humanity's Last Breath song without getting confused/scared emoji reactions from coworkers

I really miss the #harsh-music channel in @github’s slack. In fact, that’s something I miss about working for a bigger company in general - those mini communities that spring up amongst like-minded colleagues that don’t might not even work in the same department

I’d hate ORMs and only write SQL too if my language had me swapping to new-hot-ORM every 6 months. It’s not the ORM you hate sweeties

Check out this home that will sell for $2 million. It's currently assessed at $80k. The owner paid $972 in property taxes last year. California rocks! 🫠 zillow.com/homedetails/30…
