Rails devs push back on DHH's AI keynote: credit the community, not his conversion
kieranklaassen · x · 2026-09-24
After the Rails World keynote, developer Kieran Klaassen voiced disappointment: while he has loved AI and agentic engineering for years, the talk framed the Ruby/Rails + AI story around DHH "finally seeing the light" after years of dismissing it. He notes that @obie, @ankane, @alexrudall and others have long been building and celebrating Rails + AI, arguing the keynote felt more about DHH than the community. DHH's original tweet had promised the talk would "ruffle a few feathers."
