I recently joined ShopTalk Show… episode 711 to be exact. Which… now has me thinking I should probably go get myself a Slurpee.
A few things we got into…
- Oh My Zsh started as shared aliases for teammates… and turned into a plugin ecosystem that keeps growing.
- Ruby on Rails in 2026… scaling isn’t the question anymore. Teams are wrestling with restraint and keeping systems understandable.
- LLMs and contribution… more people can open meaningful PRs now. Conventions and structure matter more than ever.
- Dependencies… every one feels small when added. Over time… they stack up and stick around longer than expected.
If you haven’t listened to ShopTalk Show… go subscribe.
