willow.camp Release Notes August 9, 2025

Really quiet week for willow.camp this week.

I updated a few dependencies and upgraded the server it runs on. Everything’s been running smoothly!

I’ve also been working with an LLM to learn Hanami and might eventually move the backend over to Hanami. I’d lose a lot of “batteries included” stuff switching to Hanami, but I like the philosophy they have.

It’s been nice working on something the LLM doesn’t know well. It often drifts off into Rails land, and I have to learn the right pattern to correct the LLM. I think I learn faster this way because it’s easier to be skeptical of the LLM than it is of my own mistakes.

Please have a look at my first pass at the migration at the willow_camp_2 repo.
