Thoughtful AI for the Rubyist
summary
Gives concrete, practical guidance: an internal survey finds 60% reported hallucinations, AI excels at CRUD and RSpec scaffolding and generating descriptive commit messages, and it struggles with metaprogramming, Rails conventions, DSLs, security and thread‑safety. Offers concrete prompting tactics—chain‑of‑thought, stepwise verification, batching suggestions—and real workflows (use AI for migration files, debug stack traces, then verify). Claims are measured, tools and failure modes are specific, and advised practices are actionable.
