📊 The 2026 Ruby on Rails Community Survey is open!
This is the 9th time we've run this, and it only gets more valuable with more responses. Please take a few minutes to fill it out and pass it along to anyone in the Rails world.
https://railsdeveloper.com/survey/
We need to spend more time doing things we shouldn't be doing... like calling RubyGems... inside PostgreSQL. This post is nearly 21 years old?!

ProTip: If your platform/tools are mentioned in our biennial Rails community survey, you might encourage your users to participate.

Less Opinions. More Data. The 2026 Rails Survey
https://robbyonrails.com/articles/2026/04/27/less-opinions-more-data-the-2026-rails-survey/
PSA: On Rails now lives at podcast.rubyonrails.org
Also… good reminder to subscribe in your podcast app of choice.
A rewrite isn’t just a plan.
It’s a permission slip.
To postpone.
To ignore.
To stop caring… just a little.
That drift adds up.

Can you do me a favor and help spread the word? CFP is closing for AgentDevCamp. A totally real, legit, and first professional conference exclusively for AI coding agents. It's totally real.

RailsConf 2025 was definitely the hottest conference of the year!
(...because it was like 100F and #humidAF outside in Philly.)
