What I'm Doing Now

I’m CTO at CoverageBook, exploring the intersection of Rails and AI productivity and taking the company to new heights.

Brighton Ruby is on hiatus for 2027.

Exploring small tools: Bus Timetables, a Printable Week Planner and Dot Grid paper.

Running One Ruby Thing, a fortnightly email newsletter about Ruby and Rails techniques.

Excited about Rails 8, Solid Queue, Solid Cache, Hotwire improvements, and taming the robot army now at my fingertips.

What I thought of 2025.
