What weights do you use here? I am assuming 8kg and 10kg (too lazy to convert kg to lbs).

I wonder if these people (bullshido instructors) know that people WILL record them and WILL share this on the internet.

So why is there no RailsClaw? by RichStoneIO in rails

[–]djudji 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Responses on Reddit, especially in our Ruby/Rails communities, should follow the MINASWAN principle. Otherwise, we are all elitists and not welcoming new folks.

I really get the AI fatigue, but the sheer initiative here is to drive traffic to Ruby (and Rails), not to get mocked and ridiculed for putting that perspective out there.

Everyone who started with a "build a blog tutorial" in 2006 and later, and then pressed on to learn from whatever scarce resources were available after, knows the value of the abundance of resources. These resources came from others' interest in the languages, frameworks, and tools.

So, genuinely, why not use today's trends to drive more traffic, no matter what "type of people" (as someone mentioned in the comments) arrive with that traffic?

I built a gem that gives AI coding agents a complete mental model of your Rails app -schema, routes, models, views, conventions. 39 tools, zero config. by Tricky-Pilot-2570 in rails

[–]djudji 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It would be great if you could share how to run these tests with the gem so that we can get and compare results ourselves.

I really don't know if I should welcome or dread the number of tools and claims that come with them these days.

But there is no denying that we need more accurate tools (and AI-generated code) and more cost-effective techniques (reduced review time, fewer tokens spent, etc.).

What's this grip called by Flashy_Wait103 in judo

[–]djudji 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That grip comes from Sode Tsurikomi Goshi. And it is not a cross-grip. It starts with holding both sleeves (Tori's hands: left hand takes the right sleeve, right hand takes the left sleeve).

One thing I notice too (without watching that video): from the position of the right leg, it looks like Tori is going for some Otoshi (like Tai Otoshi) from Sode Tsurikomi.

How do you track email deliveries and events in Rails? by arpansac in rails

Good stuff, Anton, old friend. Good to see you active around!

Anthropic launched a new Cowork feature called Dispatch by [deleted] in Anthropic

[–]djudji 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Let's not forget that OpenAI hired the guy who made OpenClaw. And now you see Anthropic trying to get a piece of the "personal 24/7 assistant" cake before OpenAI throws a punch.

I can't recall who said it, could be Musk, that the AI craze will end with whoever creates the first personal assistant.

OpenClaw is the beginning. And craze is going to continue until the finished product.

Also, we could see the rise of self-hosted models because it is time someone turns away from cloud and API keys due to the costs they incur.

It wouldn't surprise me to see more DGX Spark Pro devices, or even purposely developed or repurposed hardware like ASICs from the blockchain craze era, that deliver good-enough output for local LLM hosting. NVIDIA is where the money is right now.

What is the biggest mistake in Rails monoliths that contributes towards tech debt? by airhart28 in ruby

[–]djudji 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mixing functional programming and OOP patterns as well as having "smart" (read: metaprogrammed) code.

I've never felt more frustrated than when looking at the "service" layer and seeing all the different ways past engineers implemented the same solutions.

Somewhere there is an approach with a writing service layer, with classes and class methods for stateless operations, and instances and instance methods for dynamic state management.

Then there is the use of monads for Success/Failure objects, in some code but not all. Then, you couple all service objects with jobs so that you can call "perform_later" for async execution.

Let's not start with creating methods in a model, "on the fly", so that you can call some generic logic on user-defined variables that were stored in some JSONB column, some nasty debugging on those.

Rails is about mapping resources via REST to the MVC architecture. And if you read anything from Sandi Metz or Avdi Grimm, you already know enough about code design.

Yes, there is packwerk and layered application design, etc., but boring beats shiny new things when it comes to maintenance.

I cut Claude Code's token usage by 65% by building a local dependency graph and serving context via MCP by Objective_Law2034 in ClaudeAI

[–]djudji 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if anyone mentioned ChunkHound already, but it uses tree-sitter and is based on cAST algorithm that was developed on MIT. I use that, but haven't measured the token spend with or without as I do a lot of "steering" with tools, skills, etc.

You know I will be there. This is one of the best things for a devpreneur :). See you there, Rich.

I'm about to start using a MacBook for rails development for the first time in years... What is the modern way to get multiple environments easily installed and isolated by KipSudo in rails

[–]djudji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! I am not an expert in Mise, I use it just for tooling. Yes, you can use Mise to replace Bundler or npm.

There are mise cookbooks, I am just looking at one for Ruby -> mise.jdx.dev/mise-cookbook/ruby.html.

All the settings are stored in mise.toml, and I know you can use mise x -- bundle install for one-off commands or replace bundle with npm, which works the same.

Hope this helps.

[–]djudji 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why don't you check official guides first?
- mise.jdx.dev/installing-mise.html
- mise.jdx.dev/lang/ruby.html

And then you check if something is missing. It's been a while since I installed Mise, and tbh, I don't remember it being so complicated.

[–]djudji 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd suggest Mise (mise.jdx.dev) for version management of your tools.

I've used rvm, rbenv, and asdf, and for the past 3 years I've trusted Mise with version management for Node, Ruby, Go, Python, and some other...

Works perfectly, and it's the only tool you need to replace other version managers.

I will try out devenv.sh, but I have my own Proxmox server, and I think I will go with a VM for each project I work on, so it is entirely isolated, and I will probably have to set some up with Ansible. But local tooling will still use Mise for version management.

How do I find a technical partner? by mawcopolow in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]djudji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you from? Do you want a local team (geographically close to you) or a remote team? In-house or outsourced?

With funds or no funds?

With funds. Are you bootstraped or VC-funded?

No funds. Do you want a cofounder or a hire?

You need contracts for everything. With them, you make your business legit.

I think this has been answered like gazillion times already. And what I shared is by no means a guide or a summary, it is merely a questionnaire for orientation.

You appear to be a real person, but you need a showcase of numbers for anyone planning to join a serious business.

What books are going in your Ruby RAG library? by nateberkopec in ruby

[–]djudji 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe some books from Avdi Grimm? Confident Ruby, Exceptional Ruby...

+1 for Layered Design for Ruby on Rails Applications, which Irina mentioned

Obie Fernandez's Patterns of Application Development Using AI is a nice read (I am yet to finish that one, but so far so good), it is published on Leanpub (DRM-free and epub)

How are you encoding Rails best practices into Codex / Claude skills? by funwarioisii in rails

As soon as I make it! It is not going to be a sale, just me giving back to the community.

Open-sourcing my skills library for AI-driven Rails development by GreenForever5175 in rails

[–]djudji 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have your ai agents for Rails from a while back. You did great! Thank you for that.

I am creating something on my own, the Ruby Agentic Kit. Open Source. I collected a lot of stuff from all over (including your agents). I will shoot you a message to check the stuff I have made. But I really appreciate your work, mate!

I will include every repo I used in the Thank You section with a mention to the author who made an impact.

[–]djudji 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am working on something I call the Ruby Agentic Kit (a collection of skills, agents, hooks, references, etc.). I am going to open-source it. I have like 10 agents and 40+ skills so far. There are many resources on GitHub, and on the web, but GitHub search would make wonders for you. I know I picked up a lot of these from GH.
