I am working these days on a change to Zeitwerk that will remove a hack.
When I wrote the gem, autoloading had been brittle for more than a decade and I wanted to mimic the classic autoloader as much as possible for users' peace of mind.
But there was a corner case that had no clean solution.

New tools consistently increase leverage and productivity, but software development remains fundamentally an intellectual problem, not a mechanical one, so developers are augmented rather than replaced. www.caimito.net/en/blog/2025...
Why We've Tried to Replace Developers Every Decade Since 1969
Every decade brings new promises: this time, we'll finally make software development simple enough that we won't need so many developers. From COBOL to AI, the pattern repeats. Business leaders gro...

To sum up, a US president is going to war without congressional authorization against a sovereign nation that has not attacked or threatened it, and is doing so like a thief in the night, with no explanation for the American people or the world. It is all so unimaginable that it strains credulity.

It would be nice for Rails to allow on-demand swapping of the cache backend in tests. I've come up with my own solution, in the shape of a custom cache store: lovli.fyi/KTzd

PSA: today's a good day to remember that using `^` to match the beginning of a _string_ can be hazardous for your health and for the health of those around you. `\A` is often what you want instead.

Rails people: is there a proper way to customize Rack middleware in tests (ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest)? I need to do it selectively on specific test cases, not globally. There must be a better way than fiddling with MiddlewareStack & friends (right? RIGHT??).

ICE and CBP Agents Are Scanning Peoples’ Faces on the Street To Verify Citizenship
Videos on social media show officers from ICE and CBP using facial recognition technology on people in the field. One expert described the practice as “pure dystopian creep.”
