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

Rails World was the top conference choice in the Ruby on Rails Community Survey this year. We hope you all get to go! And we'll see you there! ✈️ 🥳 (Full results will be live SOON!) ⏳️

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 👋

Rails World 2026 owes an enormous debt of gratitude to Event Partner @Shopify, this year. Their support is making all of the following possible: - Hosting the very first Rails World livestream of the Opening Keynote for those who can't make it to Austin - Helping @yukihiro_matz get to Rails World for the Day 2 fireside chat - Co-sponsoring the Closing Party (always a highlight!) - Co-sponsoring the Rails at Scale Summit - Hosting the Shopify Lounge in the Sponsor area - Covering post-production so that every session is edited and on YouTube within two weeks after the event - They also sponsored the props this year. Because yes, this year the venue called for props. (You’ll have to see what that means onsite next week.) If you're joining us in Austin, stop by Shopify's lounge to connect with Rails experts, unblock tough technical challenges, discuss building and growing applications at massive scale, and explore opportunities with @ShopifyEng. (Including this open role: jobs.rubyonrails.org/jobs/40…) Thank you, Shopify!

Rails 8.1 introduced Active Job Continuations, helping long-running jobs survive restarts and resume from checkpoints. At #RailsWorld, @palkan_tula of @evilmartians explores what could come next for durable workflows in Rails, from persistent state and scheduled steps to pause/resume patterns and human-in-the-loop interactions, and an experimental extension to Active Job designed to bring some of these ideas together. rubyonrails.org/world/2026/s… That's our last speaker spotlight! 24 talks, 24 great reasons to be in Austin next week. See you there.
