My best results have been with Ruby/Rails and either vanilla Bootstrap, or something like Tabler UI, Tailwind seems to be fine as well, but I'm still not a fan of the verbosity.

With a stable enough boilerplate you can come up with outstanding results in a few hours. Truly production ready stuff for small size apps.

How are you getting results when Ruby has no type system? That seems like where half the value of LLM coding agents are (dumping in type errors and it solving them).

Bunch of unit, functional and E2E tests, just like before LLMs :) Haven't tried with Ruby specifically but works well with JavaScript and other dynamic languages so should work fine with Ruby too.

I wonder if people that loves typescript never wrote tests and that is why they are so fascinated with types for dynamic languages. I guess they have never been really productive.

Or even better, what if you could automate writing half or more of your unit test, and ensure they run not just out of band, but on ever build?

And even better rather than have them off in some far away location annotate the code itself so the tests will be updated with the code.

That's pretty impressive and someone would have to be short sighted to feel the false productivity of constantly manually implementing what a computer can automatically do for them.

Not to mention how much better if you work on any actual large scale systems with true cross team dependencies and not trivial code bases that get thrown away every few years where it almost doesn't matter how you write it.

No, I come from Ruby and Elixir and don't love typescript or C style languages. But man oh man, LLMs are just so good with them - the feedback loop is just so good with a typed language.
