About Voodoo, aka Paul Vudmaska

• Ruby on Rails developer
  • I've been using Rails long enough to remember seeing the argument 'Rails is great but it is not enterprise ready'. Now it is everywhere.
  • DHH birthed a baby practically fully formed - that is why the difference between 1 and 7 is strikingly minimal.
  • I always feel like I'm working with a better developer when I use Rails.
  • To realize the dream of "a one man framework", Rails 8 has simplified even more
    • Built in Auth
    • Using Sqlite3 for all things db (solid gems)

AI coming in hot

• Cursor and Claude Sonnet
• Rails always makes me feel like I'm working with an old friend - now it is an old omnipotent friend.
• Use cursor. Tell a story. Ask the right questions. Get the right answer - most of the time.
