When you talk to @jacksharkey11 you understand why @WhopIO is disrupting so-called social commerce space. This energetic, outcome-focused team is re-defining what it means to build on Rails in 2025. If you are lucky, you can catch Jack's talk at #RailsWorld in Amsterdam

The beauty of engineering is that you can build your own tooling. Vibe-coding makes it more accessible for us, average folks, but we still have a long road ahead. Evil Martians are known for building awesome developer tooling and open sourcing it. These projects always begin.

The best onboarding experience I've had in years.@meetgranola 👏 Nice to meet you @samstphenson . I'm an avid note taker, and I absolutely hate fishing for transcripts / recordings in Zoom. I can't believe the liberty of not having to take notes. The control freak in me can

One of the things Kirill and I discussed was how clever and cool Mastra's marketing is. Easy guides, developer education, usability. The book btw! The book so popular, it made it (twice) to our dinner group photo in May. @abhiaiyer @calcsam @smthomas3 you guys are doing lots

We are actively playing with AI tooling to accelerate certain internal jobs. Just today I had a demo call with @KSYakovenko who presented an agentic flow created in @mastra_ai to optimize our marketing HR. We are just tapping into this, but it's already pretty impressive.

Me being me, I of course brought it up with my team, and we actually found the PR — dated back to 2015, this was a PostCSS contribution. @sitnikcode always had this personal touch with his project, and actually recently shared a bunch of learnings from

I got to sit down with Jason and pick his brain about what it means to run a successful boot-strapped devtool company. It's a humble journey — tons of hard work, but also carefully crafted boundaries: boundaries in technical strategy, boundaries in how the team operates,
