pnpm 11 is here! This release tightens the security defaults introduced throughout the v10 cycle, drops the npm CLI fallback for publishing in favor of a native implementation, replaces the JSON-per-package store index with a single SQLite database, and isolates global installs so they no longer interfere with each other.
Agents can now create Cloudflare accounts, buy domains, and deploy
Starting today, agents can now be Cloudflare customers. They can create a Cloudflare account, start a paid subscription, register a domain, and get back an API token to deploy code right away. Humans can be in the loop to grant permission, but there’s no need to go to the dashboard, copy and paste API tokens, or enter credit card details.

Over the past year, we have been porting the existing TypeScript codebase from TypeScript (as a bootstrapped codebase that compiles […]
Claude Skills for RSpec to Minitest Migration Swarms
A multi-agent RSpec to Minitest swarm kept relearning the same conventions. Moving validation from prompts to regex-enforced gates turned every failure into a permanent fix.
Rails generators that produce standalone code with no runtime dependency. Authentication, job queues, error tracking, and security — generated once, owned forever.
Rails handles framework-level security defaults — but authorization, rate limiting, CSP, session hardening, and encrypted attributes are decisions only you can make.

Why Scrum Stops Working in the AI Era - Blog - Visuality
AI changed the cost structure that Scrum was built on. When implementation is cheap and decisions are expensive, the ceremony-by-ceremony insurance model stops paying for itself.
Stop AI Spaghetti: Enforcing Rails Architecture in 2026
We are fully in the era of autonomous coding. If you use tools like Cursor, Windsurf, or Copilot Workspace, you know how fast you can move. You type a prompt, and the AI generates an entire feature - controllers, models, and views-in 10 seconds.

Surviving Black Friday: 329 billion requests with Falcon!
On Black Friday 2025, Shopify's Storefront served billions of requests on Falcon—85 million RPM at peak, zero dropped requests. One year earlier, we ran three different web servers and had no idea which parts of our 15-year-old Rails codebase were thread-safe.
This talk brings together three perspectives on migrating a massive Ruby application to Falcon:
Samuel Williams built Falcon and explains how it works — fibers, the async scheduler, and Long Tasks. He also investigates and fixes Crisis 3: the silent worker death caused by a torn pipe write in async-container.
Marc-Andre Cournoyer sets the scene: Shopify's Storefront Renderer, why Unicorn was showing its limits, and the bet to ship Falcon before BFCM. He covers the October rollback and closes with results and lessons.
Josh Teeter owns the rollout: phased deployment, scale tests, the rdkafka segfault crisis, and the Outbox — the solution that solved the Kafka connection explosion and earned the green light.
