I don't understand what is supposed to come next. So its not Ruby on Rails anymore. What is it? Are agents going to magically convert all the RoR ecosystem to Rust or Whatever?
But yes, I think RoR's selling feature was developer ergonomics, which suddenly seems less of a benefit if developers aren't the ones writing the code. Readability and conciseness still has benefit, but the trade-off of worse performance (and less static checking) is suddenly more questionable.
Have a look at fly.io facing similar issues, another platform whose value prop was dev ergonomics: <a href="https://fly.io/blog/kurt-scott-money-sprites/" rel="nofollow">https://fly.io/blog/kurt-scott-money-sprites/

Everything is a nail at the moment.
Like people using LLMs to refactor. Refactoring is a solved problem, we've had decades to get nice tooling for this.
