Promoting his rails services where the creator and biggest defender of rails replaced rails with an AI generated rust version without writing a single line of code.

His comment is just damage control and biased, it did not state he's heavily invested financially in rails. Not everyone knows who he is, I didn't.

It doesn't matter if Rails is well suited for AI or not. Now, there's less incentive and reasons to use it.

What programming languages have the best ecosystems to interact with SOAP 1.2 ? What's your stack/libs to interact with it?

Crazy that after so many years of cloud compute a 8GB VM is $48/mo.

This looks great. Never liked the idea of having to add wrist rests to all these tall bulky mechanical keyboards.

Does it support the globe key without having to use karabiner?

We're a team that has spent our entire careers building some of the most widely used developer tooling, infrastructure software, and AI systems.

Not being snarky. What AI systems have they built?

You can replace Framework with Dell, HP, Lenovo in the title. Why pick on Framework?

The comments about LLM contributed code seems like a specific axe to grind that otherwise detracts from a nice history lesson.

Seems like an interesting fact for those who don't follow the development of vim/neovim.
