The thing it multiplies most is not typing speed, though, it is judgment.

If you know what good looks like, the tools are incredible. If you don't, they help you produce plausible wrong things faster.

When artifacts are cheap, differentiation comes from quality.

But "same amount of software" is the part I do not buy. When something gets much cheaper, people usually want more of it. A lot of software does not exist today because it is too expensive to build or maintain. If that cost drops, the surface area of what is worth automating expands.

I think engineering work will move toward owning more, reviewing more, making better product decisions, and being accountable for a larger surface area.

We have excellent gems, the only thing we lack is good marketing, and better documentation of certain pieces. Posts like this perpetrate the same culture that we want gone.

To the points the post makes: as the author of RubyLLM, I've built several chat interfaces streaming from LLMs with Hotwire. They handle token by token streaming, full message restreaming at the end, role parsing, etc. They work great and the code is concise and beautiful.

Certain apps' hot paths are on the client, so it makes sense that Figma pays a lot of attention to that. However, did you know that Figma use Rails under the hood?

Ruby deserves a different story than what's shown here.
