Hey! It's me!

Wups! Build an AI Chat App in 15 minutes with Ruby and Belt@ https://t.co/wbiOACfBEM

You're a Rails developer who now has to go serverless with AWS+Lambda, what do you do?

[Andy Davis @andy_davis]

I also grew tired of defining large swathes of Terraform HCL every time I wanted a new route, so Conveyor Belt was born.

Everything in your routes.rb gets converted into AWS infrastructure. We use this in production at @stowzilla and have over 600 routes across 10 API Gateways and 13 Lambdas that are used by 3 different frontends.

I just recorded my first screencast. Let's see if we can edit this thing and get it posted soon.

Omarchy made it really easy!

[Andy Davis @andy_davis]

We've been using Fizzy since the start and find it to be an incredible tool for managing our work. Easy for humans and agents alike.

[Andy Davis @andy_davis]

Working on something awesome.

How do mobile app devs manage feature parity when building for Android and iOS?

We had an absolute blast at RubyConf this year! It was great being a part of the Runway and can't wait to hear what the rest of the world thinks when the videos go live!

Ruby Runway Spotlight: Stowzilla turns your unused stuff into a searchable digital inventory, then stores, sells, or returns it for you. Built in Ruby by a team with roots at NASA. Here's their story. 👉️ https://t.co/kl3krHwASY

I love seeing my little worker bees in the Omarchy Quattro bar.

[Andy Davis @andy_davis]

One of the coolest projects I've worked on while building Stowzilla is Brainiac.

There is something immensely satisfying about assigning a card in Fizzy (Thank you, @37signals!) to an agent and watching the Brainiac agent move it through the columns as it is worked and a PR opened.

Brainiac AI agents have personas from our favorite sci-fi shows and are fun to talk to. We activate them through plugins we made (currently Fizzy, Basecamp, Discord, GitHub, and ZOHO)

Each agent can have a different harness behind it too. Our current go-to is Kiro and Grok, but Brainiac is configurable and can support multiple.

[Andy Davis @andy_davis]

When I joined Stowzilla, @fladamd said we were going to use AWS and be serverless.

The Rails developer in me knew there had to be a better way, so I created Belt, a Rails-like framework for serverless web apps. If you've got 15 minutes and an AWS account, check out this tutorial!

Finally upgraded to Omarchy Quattro, no issues so far! I expected Brainiac (custom agent orchestrator) to have some issues but so far so good.

[Andy Davis @andy_davis]

@stowzilla Worth it.

[Andy Davis @andy_davis]

Dear God,

Please bless me with wisdom in my new role at Stowzilla. Please guide me as I work to get this startup off the ground but also to manage my time with my family.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

@Marky_X_ Thanks for sharing! I might check this out.

[Andy Davis @andy_davis]

@ryanrhughes This is amazing! This is sort of what I was trying to do with mine when I was learning Three.js last year.

[Andy Davis @andy_davis]

@Marky_X_ Have you tried DS with the new rules? I haven't yet, curious if it's an improvement.
