aaaand the redesign is in! mycrowsnest.app actually quite proud of it, take a look!

and here's the solution - pretty simple actually, like most of the time working with Turbo, but powerful: www.patreon.com/posts/sample...

played around with Claude Design... mycrowsnest.app is slowly becoming a "real" app 🤩

rrriiiiiiight 😅

It's still early days, but you can now use mycrowsnest.app with Toggl Track, too!

🧵 I audit Rails codebases for a living. This month I did the same to my own marketing funnel - and I want to talk about what that looked like, because the process is what I keep thinking about.

✍️ A new Hotwire Club challenge is online! This time it's about something every developer dreads - unexpected errors. Turns out, with Turbo Frames we have the perfect tool to keep them *bounded*: hotwire.club/blog/2026-04...

I'm currently toying around with a mycrowsnest.app redesign, mainly just to evaluate Claude Design. Which theme lands more for you? Variations of Main Hero, Dashboard, Week View for two themes 👇

You're invited: Help me build the HWC Toolbox! I'd like to further put the Hotwire Club insights to use. For this I'm going to build a library of Rails helpers/patterns - please help me prioritize in the Patreon poll below (no paywall!) www.patreon.com/posts/youre-...

🧵 Two AI-security incidents this weekend. Different surfaces, same underlying gap. 1/ Vercel confirmed a breach. A third-party AI tool climbed through an employee's Google Workspace, ended in customer credentials.

And here's the solution: www.patreon.com/posts/sample... Pretty nifty, actually!

✍️ I wrote this post without help of AI. A couple of years ago that statement would've evoked confused faces and a sci-fi air. People would've doubted it, dismissed it as unrealistic. Today it raises the same kind of doubt — for the opposite reason.

🧵 260% increase in AI coding tool usage last year. 20% increase in unplanned work. Speed without structure is just a faster way to get lost.

New Hotwire Club Challenge! This time it's about saving and restoring application state using the browser's History API. Truth be told I never grokked why I'd need it until I ran across one case where it suddenly all made sense. Tried to distill that into hotwire.club/blog/2026-04...

🧵 Naveed Akram co-founded Vestd (UK's first equity management platform). Not a first-timer. He used Replit Agent to build his next MVP. That worked fine for some time, until it started breaking: sessions dropped, auth broke, zero tests.

x[n+1] = r·x[n]·(1 − x[n]) Everything in Bifurcation III — samples, modulations, filter paths — unfolds from that one equation. Selected for Marginale II, Sant'Arpino (IT), 9.5.2026. Thanks to the Napoli Totale Elettronica committee.

🧵 ThoughtWorks gathered senior practitioners from major tech companies. They found a new category of work forming between writing code and shipping it. They called it the "middle loop." - but nobody has named it yet.

🧵 The Rails homepage now says: "Ruby on Rails scales from PROMPT to IPO." There's data behind it.

Originating from Vienna I‘m used to a very high level when it comes to public transportation. Going south, usually what I expect - my own prejudice - are cramped buses, unreliable metros and non existent timetables.

💡 and here’s the solution - it’s actually quite trivial because we can reuse the exact same route because Turbo Frames already know how to lazy load. Read all about it below 👇🏻

Woah, getting quite some traffic from HackerNews now. This seems to be working 🚀

Advanced Domain Modeling Techniques for #RubyOnRails – Part 4: A Global Message Bus with ActiveSupport::EventReporter by @julianrubisch.at www.rorvswild.com/blog/2026/ad...

🧵 Your AI agent writes Rails code the way it learned from thousands of repos. That's the problem. It doesn't know what Rails gives you for free.

🧵 (6/6) What I learned I ran four strategy frameworks on my business. JTBD, Obviously Awesome, messaging hierarchies, psychology models. None of them found the thing that actually makes my work different.

🧵 (5/6) What I built Six weeks. One AI agent. One human. I rebuilt my entire practice from scratch. Not just the website — the positioning, the pricing, and the answer to "what do you actually do?"

actually, is there already "skill manager" (versioning, ...) that everyone uses? I feel like everything starts to drift apart...

Advanced Domain Modeling Techniques for #RubyOnRails – Part 3/3 Supercharge Your Ruby on Rails Forms With Form Builders and Form Objects by @julianrubisch.at www.rorvswild.com/blog/2026/ad...

I started working with a solo founder building a creator platform. He was high-agency and product-minded, but not a developer. He'd "vibe-coded" his entire MVP using the Replit agent.

Just extracted this from kliip.it, in case anyone's interested: github.com/julianrubisc...

💪💪💪

I explored different strategy frameworks: JTBD, Obviously Awesome, buyer psychology. Insightful, but they all missed the one thing that makes my work different.

I've finally claimed my Spotify artist profile—now aligned with my recent research into the resonance of the absent. Give it a follow to stay in the algorithmic loop: open.spotify.com/artist/4auay... #electroacoustic #nonpresence #soundart #experimentalmusic

I used to think my competitor was other Rails consultants. I was wrong. My real competitor is the "AI + Hope" stack. The code I used to produce is now a commodity. AI handles the "breakneck speed" of agentic coding better than any human. Competing on output is an unwinnable race to the bottom.

And we’re back with the solution - enjoy! www.patreon.com/posts/152924...

Hey 👋 As you might know, I've been running a Rails consultancy for years. Good work, good clients, but quite a generic positioning in a crowded market.

Can Avo run on a NAS using SQLite? It sure can! Our friend @julian_rubisch, tinkered a cool CRM solution and kept it close to his location. Check it out in his in-depth walkthrough. dev.to/julianrubis...

Friends, for anyone who's interested, you can follow me on bandcamp: programmverdichter.bandcamp.com/follow_me would mean a lot to me 🙏 #electroacoustic #soundart #experimentalmusic #acousmatic #vienna

🔥 I deployed a small Rails 8 app to my Synology NAS. No VPS, no cloud provider, no monthly bill. Here's why it works and what tripped me up. 🧵

The ability to answer the question "Is it good?" I think is one of the most important and pressing questions of this age.
