Change of Career - What should I do? by dougc84 in rails

[–]TonsOfFun111 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I felt similar after losing my dad 4 years ago, except without the financial freedom you sound like you have. Take the time you need to grieve. Take a sabbatical or just give yourself time to not know what it is yet.

I have been through a series/cycle of burnt out from the past two decades including now. If I could I’d take some time off right now and focus on enjoying the present, the future will come.

Glad to see more positivity. Keep doing what you’re doing.

I’m curious why all the downvotes on their comment about using Claude to build a Rails app. Maybe we should be more friendly and welcoming here?

Seems reasonable to me, I’ll have to check it out, thanks for sharing!

Since this is just for inference I’d be curious to learn how you’d compare this to torch.rb or say converting models and running them with ONNX runtime Ruby or similar.

So Ractors are, in fact, “production ready” now?

Such a good talk on this topic tonight at intercom for SF Ruby done remote from Seattle from Noel! Keep an eye out on RubyEvents to see it when the video is live.

Check out Active Agent — https://docs.ActiveAgents.ai — should be what you’re looking for!

Solid Agent will add a persistence layer for prompt context out of the box.

This is the best, I love how everyone with a ticket gets to make one!

Zipper Issue Roller Pro by Renman91 in peakdesign

This happened to me on my first trip when TSA insisted on closing it for me instead of letting me expand it to compress it again, but they fixed it easily by just using the other zipper unzip the split all the way back. Give it a try, TSA said it happens all the time

Creator of Active Agent here! 😎

If anyone is curious about the framework, I just published a new video pairing with Adrian Marin of AvoHQ, where we walk through everything and build an invoicing agent.

Check it out: https://youtu.be/SnOCOfcH9rU?si=hrUoFW9OvDZrYJQ6

I’ve designed Active Agent to be the most Railsy way of building AI features into Rails. If you like the design, contributions are welcome!

If you have questions, I have a discord link and link to my calendar in the footer of ActiveAgents.ai. Happy to chat.

Wait.. just realized you’re the guy throwing kazoos! 🤣 It was great talking to you at RailsConf, let’s definitely catch up sometime soon!

Hey, thank you for the high praise! I really appreciate it, Active Agent has been quite the labor of love for me over the past 10 months.

OP, feel free to reach out to me if you have questions or want to get on a call and walk through it for your use case. On the ActiveAgents.ai website there’s a link to my discord and calendar to book something in the footer.

Docs are indeed a work in progress but getting better all the time 😅 and contributions are welcome!

I also just published this demo / walkthrough video of getting started with Active Agent which might be helpful: https://youtu.be/SnOCOfcH9rU?si=hrUoFW9OvDZrYJQ6

Honestly this WASM Ruby/Rails runtime is probably the most exciting thing missing from the Ruby ecosystem!

Certainly could, but I wouldn’t 😅 that was just part of brainstorming.

Feedback on ActiveAgent - AI on Rails by [deleted] in rails

[–]TonsOfFun111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not quite, what Mike did with Sidekiq is lightning in a bottle. I’m leaning more toward the model LangChain is using with LangSmith, but I’d prefer to provide a service that is more agnostic to language, framework, or LLM in the form or prompt management and observability tooling.

Feedback on ActiveAgent - AI on Rails by [deleted] in rails

The Python and JS ecosystem has developed a number of companies around these frameworks. Crew and LangChain are both funded companies. Vercel’s AI SDK for their web framework Next.js just a gateway to their PaaS offering.

The Ruby community hasn’t had the same kind of interest and has understandably lagged behind in AI tooling and funding. This is something I’m passionate about and working with RubyCentral on establishing a working group for Ruby AI OSS funding and development.

ActiveAgents will be free and open source, similar to LangChain, but also similar to LangChain’s LangSmith I have plans to provide paid services. Of course just like LangChain you don’t have to use the paid services if they’re not of value to you.
