Weeknotes vol. 9: Micro-apps and nursery rhymes on Rails
By Garrett,
I skipped this week due to dad duties, and Phil’s off traveling the world, but there was still some activity worth noting.
A couple of weeks ago I talked to Christoph about a simple journaling idea I sketched out back in 2017 which will be our first of many micro-apps to release. Every once in a while I’ll be sprinkling in small, focused apps based off of ideas that have made their way into my ideas folder over the years, and this’ll be the first one we release and, at some point, will be available on web and iOS.
The Pragmatic Bookshelf was running a sale on a handful of Ruby and Rails books, of which I purchased:
- Modern Front-End Development for Rails (2% read)
- Agile Web Development with Rails 8 (25% read)
- Hotwire native for Rails Developers (20% read)
- Frictionless Generators (10% read)
The jury is still out on whether these readings will be a positive or a negative for our week old baby, but one thing’s for certain, the books defintely put her to sleep!
I also couldn’t help myself but make a simple little app for my wife and I to track baby activity (eat sleep pee poo). It’s rough but it’s been super handy for us.

AI slop: psychology, history, and the problem of the ersatz
In 2025, the term “slop” emerged as the dominant descriptor for low-quality AI-generated output. It has quickly joined our shared lexicon, and Merriam-Webster’s human editors chose it as their Word of the Year. As a techno-optimist, I am at worst ambivalent about AI outputs, so…

The missiles are the destination
One of my uncommon enjoyments is the work that happens right in the middle of a big problem that needs to be solved, or even a nosedive. A calmness kicks in, the path gets clearer and I can usually tunnel vision my way through to course correction. I used to think this was spec…

Fall back
