    Our readingRails is having a renaissance because it is one of the most token-efficient ways to build a web app, which suits agents, for as long as that lasts.

    Ruby

    Their wordsI think in some ways Ruby Rails is having a little bit of a renaissance now that it is one of the most token efficient ways of building web apps. It's ideally suited for the agent workflows we're dealing with now. We'll see how long that lasts.

    Our readingCalling static typing the only way to build reliable systems is idiotic in the face of the evidence, starting with Shopify serving a million requests a second on Rails.

    Their wordsThey're still stuck in, essentially, I like static typing. Therefore, static typing is the only way to create reliable correct systems, which is just such a mind blowing, to be blunt, idiotic thing to say in the face of evidence, mountains of evidence to the contrary.

    Our readingTwitter leaving Rails was the best advertisement Rails ever had: nothing happened at Twitter for ten years afterwards.

    Their wordsThey end up then I think writing it in some other language, which by the way I think is the best advertisement ever for Ruby on Rails, because nothing fucking happened for 10 years after they switched over, right?

    Our reading · no longer heldRuby on Rails took off because its creator evangelized it by arguing its superiority against the competing alternatives.

    Recalls holdingAnd for a long time, I thought that's what had worked. That this was why Ruby on Rails took off, became one of the most popular full-stack web frameworks of all time, inspired countless clones, and created hundreds of billions in enterprise value for companies built on it. But I was wrong. It wasn't the crusade that did it.
