Tue, 28 Apr 2026 18:17:03 +0000

When I reimplemented a React component as the first Glimmer DSL for Web Component in my job’s Fintech Rails web app, I thought I did what would have taken 1 week in React in 1.5 days in Glimmer, which seemed like a great improvement in productivity at the time (333.33% the productivity if we count 1 week of React as 5 business days). I recently inspected the Git timeline of the original React component, and discovered that it actually took 1.5 months to develop initially!!! https://andymaleh.blogspot.com/2026/04/what-took-15-months-to-build-in-react.html

AIA v1.1.0: Give Your Robot Skills and a Personality

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 23:31:01 +0000

AIA is a Ruby command-line AI assistant built around a file-based prompt workflow — write prompts as Markdown, compose them into pipelines, run them from the terminal. v1.1.0 adds two new features: Skills (reusable process-knowledge files following the SKILL.md convention, for things like security reviews, incident response, or any recurring workflow your team follows) and Roles (persistent persona definitions that give your AI a consistent personality across an entire session). They’re composable — pair any skill with any role for an AI that knows your process and shows up with a character you actually enjoy working with. Read the full post.
