Why we still build with Ruby in 2025

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-07 03:42:31

When we started Lago, we picked Ruby on Rails for our core API. The choice was obvious because our founding team had decade of Rails experience. Rails was the fastest way we could build an API product. Today, we’ve receive millions of API calls a day. We’ve upgraded through multiple Ruby/Rails versions. Maybe that sounds silly in a world where young, Python/Go/JS-wielding entitlements have never even heard of Ruby. We do admit that we’ve added Go and Rust where it makes sense. But if we were

The Plan to Turn the Caribbean’s Glut of Sargassum Into Biofuel

wired.com Edith González Cruz 2025-11-15 17:00:00

Esteban Amaro, director of the Quintana Roo Sargassum Monitoring Network, agrees that fuel is the best product to focus on. Processing the seaweed into other consumer products is possible, but inadvisable given that the health risks of doing so have not yet been sufficiently studied. “I believe that sargassum’s purpose is to produce energy, because when it decomposes, it releases many heavy metals such as arsenic, lead, and cadmium,” Amaro says. “Therefore it is better to produce biofuels or bi

As a company, there are lots of things you can do when people are upset with your product. You could offer concessions (discounts in an effort to drive demand), swap your CEO (that’s a statement and a vibe shift), or you could pledge to do better and actually fix issues making people upset (imagine that!).
