This was a fun way to get into dev mode for the day.
Thanks 🚀

To be honest, I'm not sure what went wrong. I think it may have been the way it initialises the env.
All the AI tools would want to re-install Ruby, python or use the OS X defaults from /usr/bin. Dropping mise and using Rbenv solved all that,

Mise is great but gave me grey hairs with frontier dev tools.
If you use AI agentic code tools like OI, Cline, Windsurf and others then mise may not be for you.
Previously, ASDF for Ruby, doing a lot of Python these days so gave Mise a try.
Now back to using Rbenv. PyCharm for py envs.

Rails continues to expand its lead as the single best platform for building web applications backed by SQLite! You can now load extensions directly from the database.yml file. This now means you have quick and easy access to the full range of SQLite extensions

Codebuff Codebuff is a tool for editing codebases via natural language instruction to Mani, an expert AI programming assistant.

Codebuff (previously Manicode) is definitely one of the best code assistants. Rates highly for Rails tasks. Busy with a Python project, Codebuff has played a large part in the success so far.

Still a messy WIP but you might want to have a look

And, with the full understanding that I will probably get zero questions, but because I want to test if there's any engagement for Ruby stuff here now..

My wife and I made this fun website to help web devs learn about an important concept in the Ruby programming language.

Where are you hosting your Rails apps?

I’m looking for hosted options. Something that uses a Dockerfile is fine- but I’m looking for something other than Kamal for this one.

Why Podia doesn’t use review apps anymore It turns out the review apps are fundamentally incompatible with short-lived branches. We prefer to use feature flags.

As a follow-on to yesterday’s post about disentangling ourselves from Heroku, here’s why we don’t use review apps anymore and what has replaced them (hint: feature flags)

And now you're generating interest in your generators. 🤔

A test that asserts no controller has any public methods that do not have a corresponding route defined.

Yesterday @joel.drapper.me and I were pairing and came up with this lovely test that ensures you have no controllers with public methods that do not have a corresponding route defined.
