8 Months Ago It’s now 8 months since I wrote about an inflection point with Claude, Rails and me.

Messengers I needed to add a third-party messenger widget to a project I’m working on, and given their widespread use on many sites, I figured this would be a trivial case of dropping some JavaScript into the page and we’d be done.

TL;DR Claude Code with Rails feels like magic.

Setting the Scene I noticed a lot of new “users” in one of my side projects, and immediately wondered what was going on, was this it, had I finally struck the startup gold?!

Solid Cable in Production with Kamal Last week I wrote about Solid Cable and how amazingly easy it was to get up and running and add real time web socket magic to a Rails app.

Solid Cable Solid Cable is a new adapter for Action Cable - now the default in Rails 8 - that brings the magic of web sockets and real time updates to your Rails app.

Kamal Back in February I wrote about an exciting new deployment tool called Kamal announced by DHH and 37signals.

Rails World 2024 I’m running out of superlatives!

Action Text Here’s a quick post just to document how I got video uploads working in Action Text, again mostly for “future me”, but hopefully helpful for others!

Happy Birthday Rails!
