I no longer care to work on any Ruby gems so I've archived all my repositories
Summary
A post by Paul Battley announcing that he has archived the source code of his Ruby gems to signal he will no longer work on them. He recalls Ruby’s creator Matz describing programming as a joyful human activity and contrasts that with a current era where Ruby and Rails are increasingly influenced by AI and large language models. He notes Rails is open source but controlled by controversial leadership, and mentions an ongoing fork effort. The author observes that LLM agents are being used to churn out apps in Rust and argues that this AI-driven shift threatens the traditional open source commons. He states he’s out and suggests readers pursue changes through agents rather than human coding, while linking to his own site and bio.
