The co-author of the legendary AWDR book is coming to Deccan Queen 🚂 We’re excited to welcome Sam Ruby as a speaker at Deccan Queen this October in Pune. See you in Pune this October. #DeccanQueenOnRails #RubyOnRails #Rails @samruby #Pune

Two perspectives on one decision: intertwingly.net/blog/2026/05... and intertwingly.net/blog/2026/05... ; background: intertwingly.net/blog/2026/05... and intertwingly.net/blog/2026/04...

Two make commands from a fresh git clone: a real Rails app transpiled to Spinel-subset Ruby, running on localhost:3000 with real-time Turbo broadcasts and SQLite persistence. Roundhouse iteration one is here. intertwingly.net/blog/2026/04...

Convergence: intertwingly.net/blog/2026/04...

Two Ruby compilers, started about the same time, by people unaware of each other's work. The interesting question isn't which is right — it's what changed. intertwingly.net/blog/2026/04...

Nine days, six languages: intertwingly.net/blog/2026/04...

I'll be presenting at this conference; the title of my talk is "There is no Server" and I'll be showing Ruby taken to places it has never been before.

Ruby2JS: now Self-Hosted intertwingly.net/blog/2026/03...

A Rails blog transpiled to JavaScript produces identical HTML. Not similar. Not close enough. Identical. Here's how I proved it and what I found along the way. intertwingly.net/blog/2026/03...

Three Tiers, Zero Servers A Rails blog: SharedWorker for application logic, dedicated Worker for SQLite with OPFS persistence, main thread for Turbo and Stimulus. Under 600KB gzipped. No server required. intertwingly.net/blog/2026/03...

I submitted a proposal based on what I have working now, but I continue to get more working and if my proposal is accepted, the actual talk will need to factor those changes in. I have a few blog posts planned already, the first is already live: intertwingly.net/blog/2026/03...

I benchmarked which language works best with Claude Code. Ruby, Python, and JavaScript came out cheapest, fastest, and most stable! See my article in detail: dev.to/mame/which-p...

Working demo; try it yourself!

I strongly agree with the points made in this video; but for it to work more needs to be done: intertwingly.net/blog/2026/02...

Enjoyed this conference the past two years; I plan to submit a new talk this year and already have some demos that the audience can play with. Early thoughts: intertwingly.net/blog/2026/02...

Submitted for Your Approval intertwingly.net/blog/2026/01...

What happens when you transpile a Rails chat app to Cloudflare Workers? D1, Durable Objects, Hotwire—it all just works. intertwingly.net/blog/2026/01...

Rails requires Ruby. Serverless runs JavaScript. Until now, you had to choose. Introducing Juntos: Rails patterns transpiled to JS. Same code runs in browsers, Node, Vercel Edge, Cloudflare Workers. intertwingly.net/blog/2026/01...

This was fun to write. I hope somebody out there enjoys it as much as I did and do: intertwingly.net/blog/2025/12...

Self hosting Ruby2JS: intertwingly.net/blog/2025/11...

I've rewritten my offline scoring yet again. Current approach: ERB + Turbo + Stimulus, no Web Components. And you read that right: ERB. I code in Ruby and everything works offline. Overview here: intertwingly.net/blog/2025/11... with links to prior posts with more details.

Upgrading Eleventy After 5 Years: intertwingly.net/blog/2025/10...

Three years ago, I unretired to join Fly.io as a Rails Specialist. As of last month, I've re-retired. What's changed for me? Not much: intertwingly.net/blog/2025/10...

Now that I'm running it in production, it is time to share Navigator: the code I've extracted from my showcase application that converts my single event application into a multi-tenant, multi-region application: github.com/rubys/naviga...
