There was only one hard jump and that was because of the frontend side of things. Luckily that's behind us.

SerpApi now offers Extract API to scrape pretty much anything so you don't need to stitch together something yourself anymore.

I was surprised by the controls, but actually quite interesting.

Congrats Carmine on being featured!

I am using RubyLLM for quite some time and I am in love with the API design. If someone wants to see how this looks in a real project including custom tools, you can have a look at the SerpTrail project on GitHub.

The Chat model still is just:

  class Chat < ApplicationRecord
    acts_as_chat model: :llm_model
  end

I am quite excited for RubyLLM 2.0 and beyond.

most redhatters used Fedora/RHEL on ThinkPads, Macbooks were in super minority

we used FOSS before Google, but had to switch (there was some pushback internally)

not sure what happened after IMB took over.

YouTube is replacing my Netflix now, honestly. But I am not happy it being just an algo game, so I am building tubeandchill.com to find good creators, get video tips by newsletter, and more... (tell me what you want to see there, please).

I am redesigning how I blog and create content with https://lakyai.com

I am also writing an "indie book" on getting to $100k revenue (and I write it inside LakyAI, no less!).

Yes, the distribution is super hard. I recently changed how I blog and building entire platform around that called LakyAI (https://lakyai.com). The idea is being able to run multiple blogs in parallel with crosslinking, sharing resources, reposting to platforms that give you distribution, repurposing the blogs entirely, and more. I am at the beginning but if someone is interested in some novel ideas just drop me an email at [email protected].

I think this is pretty cool. Congrats on the project, might play with it later.

If you want something even simpler, something that doesn't run on your servers at all, you can look at Kamal: https://kamal-deploy.org

What I like about Kamal is that it's backed by a company that actually fully moved out of K8s and cloud, so every release is battle-tested first.

I just finished an update for Kamal Handbook (2.1).

I am also working on a new way to blog with LakyAI (https://lakyai.com). Not super ready but send me a DM if curious.

I am working on LakyAI, https://lakyai.com, marketing platform to build brands. It's a mix of WordPress and Buffer in a way. Great for people that want to blog but also get some distribution and social media help. If you want to try it, please DM me at x.com/strzibnyj

I know well what you are talking about since I did something similar, but I finally moved to Docker with Kamal (except one project I still have to move). The advantage of Docker's reproducibility is to have a peace of mind when comes to rollbacks and running exact versions due to system dependencies. If anyone is curious I wrote Kamal Handbook to help people adopt Kamal which I think brings all the niceness to Docker deployment so it's not annoying.

Yes, please. I mostly run a VM per project but will consolidate some stuff now that Kamal 2 supports it. I also posted before how this works here: https://nts.strzibny.name/multiple-apps-single-server-kamal-...

I use Kamal (even wrote Kamal Handbook) but I did register Dokploy, I should try it and document the differences.

Awesome, thanks for all the good work on Ruby!

If you deploy with Kamal you practically get this, except maybe the file push, that's a nice touch.

I also use @apply with Tailwind, makes this a beautiful not spagetti experience.

Very nice and minimal. I am going the opposite direction. I am cancelling my static generated blogs and moving everything to LakyAI which will help me to manage everything from a single place. Not quite ready for prime time tho.

Ruby is plenty fast these days (people usually think Ruby didn't get faster but it did). And if we figure out how to switch to async/fibers with let's say Falcon, we are in a good place :)

I am currently redesigning how we blog with lakyai.com. The first version will likely be focused on technical writers like myself.

I honestly think the same.

I'll add it to the post. I have seen it before but it slipped from my mind.

You are absolutely right. The perspective is simply a practical question of, can we grab a component library that feature a design system (that we can hopefully update with our preferences).
