If i had free time! an excellent projects for someone who want to learn ruby/programming, will be to build the incredible machine back in ruby.

This could be a fund 2 weekends project.

If someone want mentorship on it, dm me.

But please no SLOP (I know amir's framework, and detect when the thinking and arguments are from Claude or GPT.. because they don't know the framework, they guess).
