Carmine is cooking. His work on RubyLLM has been incredible, even going as far as upstreaming important work about fiber usage into Rails Solid Queue so that we reap the Async benefits, which are essential in this LLM age.

Totally agree. And having a Rails monolith that the LLM can see the entire context - even our marketing landing pages - is a blessing in AI era.

You can, and Carmine (who coded this update) wrote exactly about this on this blog post: https://paolino.me/solid-queue-doesnt-need-a-thread-per-job/ From his article: One backend, two modes Fiber mode isn’t universall

Carmine (which coded this Fibers update) wrote about this in his blog. See the section 'The database connection math'. And no, you won't have one connection per fiber. The difference is staggering when you compare to threaded

It's literally all there is to it. Write your prompt normally. then, at the last paragraph, you write: Use a workflow to implement this. You (Fable) are the orchestrator, planner and reviewer. Opus agents are implementers. That's

My friend, our users would flood our support within 30 seconds of the first blip of this happening. I'm curious: what's _your_ defense against this?

This is how we implemented this at our company: - We have 2 sources of data that we must backup to continue existing as a business; our postgres and binary files in S3. Everything else is derivable (elasticsearch, so on). - For postgres, we

I’m using Claude code dynamic workflow like this. I tell Fable to use a workflow. He is the planner, orchestrator and reviewer. Opus agents are implementers. Works unbelievably well.

Is the commentator not even opening the article before commenting?

Glad I’m not the only one noticing this. It’s maddening.

Agreed, hard enforced by code. Surprised to see many comments here finding it reasonable that the agent could reply with private repo information on a question posted on a public repo, which IMHO is obviously a bug.

Claude Code has been a blessing for all our devops work. We use baremetal servers and now have reliable, tested, fault tolerant postgres with streaming replication and barman for backups configured and running, with less than a second of re

Has anyone actually enabled /usage-credits to use Fable at API pricing? It's ridiculously expensive. At my _previous_ usage in the subscription, I estimated (with Claude) that I would spend more than 20k USD in a month. It'

Like the known Docker "feature" that it completely bypasses UFW and unless your ports look like "- 127.0.0.1:PORT:PORT" (and many of the examples use "-PORT:PORT") you expose everything to the internet?

This. So much jargon, so much made-up-words-with-hyphens, so much abbreviations. The mental tax to understand it is enormous.

At lest for me, it's a disaster. It's like we're back to GPT-2 era. It can't read files anymore. Uses 'sed' out of the blue with non existent paths. In this session alone it has excused itself more then 10 time

In my tests, in real production use cases, it's a hard pass. It's actually 10-15% slower and also more expensive than Gemini 3.1 Pro, because it thinks more than 2.5x Gemini 3.1 Pro. So that thinking verbosity nullifies the speed

that looks really cool. do you plan on building a docker image like pgvector does?

Recently we suffered a different kind of subscription bombing: a hacker using our 'change credit card' form to 'clean' a list of thousands credit cards to see which ones would go through and approve transactions. He ran

I have no experience building this two-pass approach, but I arrived at it intuitively while planning for a new project. Any references to actual implementations?

We've also been running Rails in production for 15+ years (since 2011) in two companies and it has been serving us greatly. Hiring is tough, but I definitely believe the stack makes up for it due to the productivity gains. In late 2025

No. I do think that Cloudflare is a great company and got where it's at today because they care for this type of issue, and has a much better chance of contacting their peering traffic partner than me because they take care of ~20% of

Off-topic, but I'm having a terrible experience with Cloudflare and would love to know if someone could offer some help. All of a sudden, about 1/3 of all traffic to our website is being routed via EWR (New York) - me included -,

One Rails app self deployed in VPS can really go a long way. I'd add: - Learn tailscale. It's one of those technologies that takes half a day to get used to (claude code will answer all your questions), and you'll never want
