    "Make the change easy then make the easy change" In 2026 I think this still holds...agents are fine to do "hard changes" so have to be deliberate to make the change easy Then let agents rip and ignore the code. But you don't get the satisfaction of making the "easy change"

    The reality is...I don't know what to do with the blog. There are some great parts of Rails that I hold onto tightly, but others are slipping away. I'm not writing much code. Our new product is all-in on Inertia and the core loop are LLM APIs and tool calls, not CRUD forms

    I really miss the Boring Rails series from @_swanson. That was some good stuff.

    @petersuhm unsolicited feedback but i didnt have any idea you had a new pod, despite listening to like 3 of yours in the past -- you should drop a quick episode in old feeds saying "hey i have a new podcast"

    Alright — I'll spin off some sub-agents to scan the codebase for references.
