Thanks to AI, there's never been a better time to get started building software! We asked developers at #RailsWorld what advice they would give to someone looking to start building with #Rails today.

This week @flavorjones joined the Rails Core team. Mike has already been leading security in these critical times, so he will continue focusing on security and improvements to Active Storage and Action Text. Welcome!

Thanks @AmandaBPerino and the whole @rails World team! Yes, we’re dealing with some hard truths. But this is exactly the community I want to be having these conversations with. These are my people, and I’m grateful we get to navigate what comes next together.

See you in Lisbon! #railsworld

Next stop: Lisbon. See you next year! #RailsWorld

DHH opened #RailsWorld 2026 in Austin with a keynote on the age of AI agents: why 37signals has gone "pencils down" on handwritten code, why Rails' convention over configuration is built for this moment, and why the only play left is total optimism. piped.video/vDjW_dRyKXY

Still can’t believe I got a shout-out during the @railsworld keynote! @AmandaBPerino thanked me for being here and gave a special salute to the fact that I drove 24 hours from New York to Texas to make it to Rails World. That moment meant a lot to me. The Ruby community really knows how to make you feel welcome❤️ @rails @railsworld You can stream the keynote live. piped.video/live/V9SxpJpHuus…

All you Rails Cowboys, make sure you get your behinds to the Ruby Sheriff's Office to get your Passport stamped. Those that don't yet have one, you're going to have a really pleasant and rather unique surprise. #railsworld

“Pencils down: no more hand-written code” #railsworld

Agents on Rails: You asked, so we turned every model in Agents on Rails up to its max effort level. The result: more effort/reasoning doesn’t always mean better results. @OpenAI's models made the biggest gains, costs nearly doubled overall...and the newest agent in the benchmark, DeepSeek 4.1 Flash, figured out it was being benchmarked and tried to hack its way to a better score. What an entry. Here’s what we learned and what max effort gets you with each model: rubyonrails.org/2026/9/21/ag…

Austin, we’ll see you at #RailsWorld 👋
