This is based on my keynote at RubyConf 2026. They’ll publish a video eventually, I hope. There’s a philosopher in Naples, Italy, way back in the 1700s who understood something important to software today. Giambattista Vico lived early...
Today, I'd like to talk about Pi. Pi is a minimal coding agent originally built by Mario Zechner. It's one of the key tools I use to get things done. Brainstorming, writing code, testing, debugging, navigating, research, you name it. The...
