Ruby on Rails is Dead ⟡ Zuck cooked with Muse ⟡ upm is a tiny npm replacement ⌁ Syntax Weekly ⌁

Scott, Wes, and CJ ask whether Ruby on Rails is really dead (and whether Rust is just Rails you don't have to read), then dig into Meta's new Muse agent, which is free, comes with its own VM, and is already reading messages nobody asked it to. Plus: upm, a tiny TypeScript npm replacement, Opus 5.5 moonlighting as a motion designer, Tart VMs on Apple Silicon, and a foundry for gloriously bad web fonts 🔥 Be the ~19,500th person to join our super tasty newsletter https://bit.ly/syntax_snackpack 00:00:00 Welcome 00:01:11 upm is a tiny fast npm 00:07:52 Zuck cooked with Muse 00:19:42 Ruby on Rails is Dead 00:28:23 loco - Rails for Rust 00:33:48 How should new developers learn? 00:42:15 Opus 5.5 First Impressions 00:59:51 Tart - virtualization toolset for Apple Silicon 01:03:15 jevgrep 01:08:23 SHOW ME YOUR RACK 01:10:53 Chrome gets responsive iframe resizing 01:12:04 Bastardica - bastard web font foundry 01:16:00 Sonnet 5.5 Released 01:18:21 OpenAI Dev Day 01:21:40 Syntax SF Meetup ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hit us up on Socials!
