My elevator pitch: 'I'm going up, can you press the button for the 5th floor please, thanks.' This feed is 98% about dogs with a bit of #Rails Foundation news.
At last year's Rails World, I told the audience how Rails apps keep popping up in my life, and how I constantly tell my non-tech friends. Here's proof. 😅 I only recently found out Splitwise is built on Rails, and lo and behold. It wasn't just for the story.
Rails in 2025: ⚡️ Fast 🧠 AI-friendly 💅 Hotwire got hotter 🧘 Devs slightly less burnt out Turns out Rails didn’t die, it just got smarter. Here’s how it’s aging like wine 👉 bit.ly/44H84ft
December 2004 can be considered the true date of birth, but @rails took its first steps in the world 21 years ago today when DHH released v0.5. My how it's grown!
21 years ago today, after months of work, @dhh released Rails v0.5.0 to the world with the note: “this piece will grow in public.” He wasn’t wrong. Since then, Rails has powered countless companies, grew with the support of thousands of contributors, and has kept true to its core…
Beer drinkers, I need some help. If you were to choose a beer that would generally be liked by most people, which would it be? Asking for a bar that agreed to be a backer bar for a certain event in Amsterdam. 👀
It's not new - over a decade old actually - but this is my 2025 summer song. I find myself putting it on again and again for the calmness I feel listening to it. open.spotify.com/track/7FZ25bDs…
Possibly Rails. Possibly cats. Maybe both. Maybe neither.
Rails Core member Aaron Patterson (@tenderlove) will deliver the #RailsWorld 2025 Closing Keynote. What’s it about? No one knows. Hopefully #Rails 🤞, but we'll find out together in September. rubyonrails.org/world/2025/day…

I would give my kingdom to find out where the screenshot goes when you click on it before it fully minimizes and lands fully in the screenshot folder. One of life's great mysteries.
Getting ready for Rails World by practicing: Will the talks be recorded? 👉 Yes. Will you record the talks? 👉 Yes. Will the talks be shared later? 👉 Yes.
This is the installation video I wish I had when I was starting to learn Rails. It's for absolute beginners who wonder, “Okay, I need to install this thing….but WHY? What does it do?” Sometimes that little bit of context helps, so send this to that person who needs it most.
Before tomorrow’s launch of the Rails New series, get your dev environment set up with this step-by-step Installation guide from @typecraft_dev. Install Homebrew, system libraries, Ruby 3.4.2 (via Mise), and Rails 8.0.2 in preparation for building your first app. On Linux or…
