Ruby on Rails is Dead ⟡ Zuck cooked with Muse ⟡ upm is a tiny npm replacement ⌁ Syntax Weekly ⌁

Scott, Wes, and CJ ask whether Ruby on Rails is really dead (and whether Rust is just Rails you don't have to read), then dig into Meta's new Muse agent, which is free, comes with its own VM, and is already reading messages nobody asked it to. Plus: upm, a tiny TypeScript npm replacement, Opus 5.5 moonlighting as a motion designer, Tart VMs on Apple Silicon, and a foundry for gloriously bad web fonts 🔥 Be the ~19,500th person to join our super tasty newsletter https://bit.ly/syntax_snackpack
