    Love Ruby but meh Daily Stand-ups (DSU)? You might like my gem:)▲15

    I love ruby and rails, but agile Daily-Stand-ups (DSU) are a pain in the butt. I have a hard time remembering what to share; what I did yesterday, one-offs I did the day before because I completely forgot. Anyhow, I created this really lovely little, but powerful ruby gem, called dsu. Currently, we're a small, but dedicated band of users who love the tool. You may love it also. If anyone wants to give it a try. Enjoy: Visit the dsu ruby gem wiki: https://github.com/gangelo/dsu/wiki Straight to rubygems.org: https://rubygems.org/gems/dsu

    Red Candle – Run LLMs Natively in Ruby with Rust▲5

    I've been working on Red Candle, a Ruby gem that runs LLMs (Llama, Mistral, Gemma, Phi) directly in your Ruby process through Rust bindings (based on the candle crate from Hugging Face). No Python, no servers - just FFI with Metal/CUDA acceleration. It's been useful for adding AI features to Rails apps without the complexity of managing separate services. Would love feedback from anyone working with LLMs in Ruby.
