I've also been reading through @palkan.bsky.social's & @evilmartians.com Layered Design for Rails and it's cool to see many similar ideas for where I'd like to see Rails go (and Associated Objects gets a mention).
There's lots of interesting ideas and patterns in there, so I highly recommend it!
Flipper is an amazing feature flag gem. This guide by @envek.bsky.social is a deep dive into how we used it to match our client's (@stackblitz.com) requirements.
Inside: friendly actor IDs, team-wide flags, percentage rollouts, analytics events, and admin auditing!
We meet every month to learn from each other, connect with new people, and eat pizza.

February's SF Ruby Meetup is now live on YouTube!
We met at @sentry.io and had talks from:
- Neil Manvar
- Sohil Kshirsagar
- Mike Dalton (@kcdragon.bsky.social)
- Vladimir Dementyev (@palkan.bsky.social)
- Brandon Weaver (@baweaver.bsky.social)

Meet Andrey (@en.sitnik.es ), our frontend principal and the creator of PostCSS.
He was our first hire ever and has been a Martian for 15 years.
Andrey is based in Barcelona, is a loving father, and is always down to meet up with martians IRL.
Check him out: evilmartians.com/martians/and...
We knew Martians were some of the best of their kind.
So we're building individual portfolios to show it and allow clients to:
- Get paired with the best person for their project
- Understand the background of the one joining their team
This process has made us feel incredibly proud of Martians.
Just take a look at the awesome personal pages we’ve created for developers/designers on @evilmartians.com.
My profile is ready too.

PostCSS powers 0.5% of ALL web pages but only earned $300/month for 13 years. This story is not unique.
Your app likely has 550+ OSS dependencies. Most are one burned-out maintainer away from disaster.
This is the Nebraska problem. And here is the fix:

You’re still hand-writing API types in 2026? Your OpenAPI spec can generate TypeScript types, API clients, Zod schemas, and network-level mocks — so you ship features before backend deploys anything.
Yuri Mikhin walks through the full setup with Hey API, Nanostores, and MSW.

Harjot Gill bootstrapped @coderabbitai.bsky.social to $1M ARR before raising a $16M Series A. That was followed by a $60M Series B, and now revenue is doubling every few months.
In the episode of Dev Propulsion Labs, Harjot shares why the open source version plays a huge role in that growth.
Ruby on Whales has received a huge upgrade for 2026, including Claude Code integration and more. Read this new but still exhaustive guide by @palkan.bsky.social on developing Ruby and Rails applications with Docker.
Five years ago, we posted an article on writing custom RuboCop rules (called "cops"). Since then, RuboCop had a major release with new features that make your custom rules way better.
This article by Yaroslav Kurbatov revisits our previous post and explains how to write custom cops today:
Join early access for imgproxy v4 and help shape the new version!
PostCSS creator, @en.sitnik.ru, shares how to make your open source popular.
He also destroys the false idea that writing open source will make you famous, or that you should write open source to show your expertise. Plus, he explains how to avoid burnout when maintaining your products.
You don’t need tens of years of experience. We'd love to chat, if you:
- Know JS and CSS
- Have worked in English
- Have experience working in startups or as a consultant

We're still looking for a frontend engineer to work on @en.sitnik.ru's team.

- $80K – $113K gross annual salary
We get our industry news from @anycable.io's Broadcast. Issue #33 came with the sad news that Heroku is no longer taking on new business and is moving into maintenance mode.
Heroku users can keep running things as usual for now, but it might be a good time to start looking at alternatives.

It's a fair conversation to be have, we just wanted to clarify David's point.
You're absolutely right, but this is a podcast about developer tools.
In this case, David was answering whether or not AI was a bubble. He says it is one (a bubble) because only approximately a billion people use tools like ChatGPT.
In this episode, we talk about the current state of AI in the industry, resistance to change, and the future of AI-powered coding.
Watch it here: youtu.be/oKAX7LsE11s
“The future is here, it’s just not evenly distributed,” says
David Gomes from @cursor.com.web.brid.gy.
He estimates that 50% of the world’s engineers have yet to try agentic coding, and that at least 7 billion people still need to adopt LLMs.
Vibe coding can speed up app development, but it can also quietly introduce serious security flaws.
This article breaks down the four most common risks and how to avoid them: evilmartians.com/chronicles/f...
Hey Fritz, tagging Vova (@palkan.bsky.social) here :)
We’re expanding the benefits of ruby.wasm within the Ruby community (and beyond).
This update for the Ruby Association Grant introduces our new project, TutorialKit.rb. It's a toolkit for building interactive Ruby and Rails tutorials that run entirely in the browser.
What if new hires could understand your entire codebase on day one?
@baweaver.bsky.social thinks this is possible with MCP tools.
An AI agent could become an expert in your codebase and make institutional knowledge available 24/7 for any team member.
Watch his SF Ruby Conference talk:
Aptos asked us to rebuild their website in one month. That meant collaborating with designers, negotiating scope, and choosing the right tech stack.
In this post, we share secret tips that helped us deliver on time, the lessons we learned, and examples you can steal to meet a tight deadline.
Can AI really turn us all into a “10x engineer,” or is that just a pipe dream?
AI has quickly reshaped software development and the benefits are still unclear. This research-backed article attempts to uncover what you can expect from developers who regularly use AI to speed up their work:
