The end is nigh! ... Yes, Ruby is the slowest. I didn’t care about that when the pay-off was huge in terms of productivity and developer joy. But if you’re no longer reading the code?
I've had agents implement and optimize the Campfire web app in Elixir, Go, and Rust. Yes, Ruby is the slowest. I didn't care about that when the pay-off was huge in terms of productivity and developer joy. But if you're no longer reading the code? github.com/basecamp/once-cam…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The shown benchmarks use non-equivalent implementations: Elixir routes all DB queries through a single GenServer with Redis for jobs (retained from Rails), while Rust uses in-process queues, omits CSRF tags/fields, and applies other caching changes. github.com/basecamp/once-… raw.githubusercontent.com/basecamp/once-… github.com/basecamp/once-… github.com/basecamp/once-… x.com/zachsdaniel1/s…

It's pencils down, people. Writing code by hand is no longer an economically viable skill for most programmers at most companies. But the future of making software has never been brighter. Don't you dare black pill this beautiful moment! youtu.be/vDjW_dRyKXY?si=6Fsf…

The age of personal pan pizza teams
RIP to the two pizza team. Jeff Bezos gave us an all-time great metaphor: keep the team small enough to feed with two pizzas. It shaped how engineering orgs got built for 20+ years. He was right about small teams. Still is. But in the AI era, two pizzas is too much pizza.
