Hello, hello. I've been on the podcast for a while, so hopefully frequent listeners would know. But yeah, quick intro. I'm the author of a book called The Rails and Hotwire Codex. I'm on the Bridgestone Core team, and I talk a lot of crap about Ruby.

Yeah, it's a minor update. Just a whole bunch of continuity fixes that a very diligent reader sent me.

You can say that again. That's what makes continuity so unbelievably hard.

like some of the mistakes that this reader sent me to like some a piece of code that i'd written that i kind of modify like three chapters later but i'd forgotten to backport the changes and stuff it's like see this is what i'm waiting ai to do right it's just like all this nonsense work that has to happen but like nobody really wants to do it right like

Yeah, so I mean the All I'm looking at is the Twitter feed, really, because we don't have any YouTube streams as yet. Although the keynote apparently will be up later today, which honestly, Ruby on Rails Foundation is bloody amazing turnaround time. Yeah, that's incredible. Have it out on the same day.

But yes, at Rails 8, the highlights are authentication, prop shaft, the solid trifecta, which is solid cache, solid queue, solid cable. thruster and Kamal too. Which the thing that I don't know, maybe I'm in the minority of the thing out of all of that, that I find least interesting is authentication. Because I've always just built my own. I've never been a fan of device or anything like that.

I just built my own. So I don't really care that Rails kind of has it, because I'll still just use the one I made myself.

Yeah, my ego is too big to let me use anything else.

Yeah, yeah, completely. And I think just being able to drop the Redis dependency is something that's quite big. And I'm also, for small indie apps, I think having the three solid libraries along with all the move towards SQLite is just going to reduce the amount of complexity pretty significantly because you don't need a database server anymore either.

And you're just like, yeah, you have one SQLite database for your actual database. You have another one for your cache. You have another one for your queue. And it's just like, just creating files. It's not that hard.
