You gave Claude Code a goal at 10pm and then go to bed. A heartbeat woke it every half hour, but it kept working through the night: lanes, reviews, merges, deploys... but what decisions did it make, exactly?

Came out of Rails World more fired up than I've been in years. Unforgettable moments in every sense of the word. You see there's a reason all my classic Ruby books were published in the "Professional Ruby Series". Most of us work in teams. We maintain serious production systems that real customers depend on, under real load, with real consequences if we fuck them up by being sloppy. So pencils down? Sure. Claude writes all my code too. But programming as an engineering profession is as alive as its ever been, as it moves up an abstraction level. And English alone isn't enough. We're living through a period of infinite configuration. Everyone has their own agent setup. That's why convention over configuration matters more than it ever has, the same reason Ruby on Rails was such a game changer to begin with. I have a new vision for those of us who want to embrace AI while still proudly calling ourselves programmers. If you were at #railsworld this year, I might have even discussed it with you. And I promise, I'm going to make it reality. Who's with me?
