Rails 6.1 can raise an exception when a fixed deprecation creeps back in, but the config signature changed: 2 args pre-5.2, 4 args after. go.fastruby.io/2nt #RubyOnRails #TechnicalDebt
#TechnicalDebt : When everyone(*) in the six-household apartment building forgets to pull the trash bins to the street, we have to wait two weeks until the next trash collection date, and the trash keeps on piling up.

AI-generated code is a major new source of technical debt. Where an agent works independently for a few months, static analysis warnings rise 18% and Cognitive Complexity 39%. Code nobody can understand is debt. #TechnicalDebt

Small modules are the best win in the age of AI. ✨
