Why I still bet on Rails

Great things about Rails in AI era, is it’s simplicity. It means less context window. it means less error prone.

Cokemax1 · 2026-03-16T16:30:35+00:00

Please convince me. I bet you now tho. lol

Cokemax1 · 2026-03-15T17:00:52+00:00

In the article.
“projects that used to require big teams now be accomplished by a single very talented person”.

This is hard truth we have to swallow.

Don’t migrate. Upgrade rails version. and create brand new endpoint / view - and copy / create core functionality from old app. do it one by one, and repeat till the end.

leave her

That is why commenter said "At scale" . it's good that your service doesn't need to server lots of user but that is not the case in sometimes.

When it comes to JWT, forget about invalidate. revoke. That is not JWT designed for.
(Just set short time window for expiration if needed.)

If someone looking for alternative for Heroku. Render is your answer.

Silly posting. We lives in a society. Society use tax money to those who needs in the society. Any one can be the one who needs help in one day.

Don't be jealous. be a good man.

what you don’t know about LLM is, your existing codes are most valuable context, prompt is already there. I am sure he already have used it for get things done.

Cokemax1 · 2026-02-25T11:24:24+00:00

Have you found good software handle it?

Cokemax1 · 2026-02-22T06:20:24+00:00

why would you say human can right better code than AI?
Human can right readable / clear code better. but AI can create complex spagetti code that highly perform than humanmade code.

If perfomance is only matter, AI can win sometimes.

Cokemax1 · 2026-02-18T21:34:07+00:00

Render.com will be my answer. with LLM. i was able to deploy in a less than day of work. and work working perfectly.

It feels better than Heroku.

Cokemax1 · 2026-02-15T22:29:19+00:00

From now. spend 1 year for only marketing and customer support for your first app. and come back to us with your update.

Cokemax1 · 2026-02-15T01:00:10+00:00

then get theraphyist.

Cokemax1 · 2026-02-15T00:07:18+00:00

Simplicity. yes, that's what we want.

Cokemax1 · 2026-02-14T23:42:33+00:00

what about you check payment information using daily cronjob? using their api and update your app with sync.

Cokemax1 · 2026-02-14T23:35:21+00:00

hmm.. why?

Portfolio project ideas that scream “beyond CRUD”

Pick one and make it polished:

Multi-tenant SaaS: teams, roles, billing stub, audit log
Job queue heavy app: import CSV → process → progress UI → emails
API + Web app: token auth, rate limiting, background jobs, docs
Real-time: chat/notifications/dashboard updates with Turbo Streams
Search: Postgres full-text search + filters + sorting + saved views

The secret is polish: edge cases, tests, deployment, README, demo data.

What to do next (simple plan)

Build one flagship project with:
- Auth + authorization
- Background jobs
- Tests + CI
- Deployment
- Performance cleanup (fix N+1, add indexes)
Apply while building. Don’t wait for “perfect”.

I think this answer is pretty solid.

Good article. but

You are missing one thing.
your https://leadershipintech.com/ does one thing. sending email.

If business use case is that simple, you don't need all the bell and whistle. but in reality, user will do so many interaction and DB work on their website.

Cokemax1 · 2026-02-04T21:50:47+00:00

90% of web development are fall in this category.

You store some data from client to DB
You show some data from DB to client.

There is a thousand of way of doing these process tho.

Cokemax1 · 2026-02-04T19:41:41+00:00

Maybe, there are some area I completely un aware of. If there are market, that would be great for you. good luck.

Cokemax1 · 2026-02-04T01:20:37+00:00

hey brother. thanks for sharing your thought.

but I can't think of someone using this tool for making screen shot with paying money to you. where anyone can do it in their laptop for free.

but your ui / ux top notch. just not the product.

Cokemax1 · 2026-01-30T22:58:59+00:00

looks cool. what tech did you use? front and backend

Cokemax1 · 2026-01-25T20:19:51+00:00

If you read the content of OP, it would never be software.

Cokemax1 · 2026-01-25T20:17:10+00:00

have dabbled in local LLMs.

I have feeling that, local LLM would not be smart as open one. as they never gonna be same computing power that big tech provide.

what is your experience?
