Attendees admitted using Claude Code to do most tickets and PRs but weren't confident the output was quality work, with one describing it as a 'smokescreen'. A talk by Kinsey Durham Grace suggested giving AI agents feature-level context files, like payment-flow notes, so agents don't need to scan the whole codebase. On project management, Planet Argon has no Scrum Masters, and PMs are advised to learn technical skills like APIs and Python analytics to keep pace. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How can I give AI coding agents better context in a Rails codebase so they don't need to scan the whole app? Add context files directly at the feature level, such as inside a payment feature folder, describing how to boot the feature, steps a user would take, developer considerations, and how to test edge cases. Placing this context where the feature code lives helps the agent stay within that scope instead of reading the entire codebase, which in theory reduces regressions, startup time, and token usage. This approach was proposed by Kinsey Durham Grace based on research at GitHub into how coding agents read and track context. _daily.dev surfaces practical approaches like this for teams structuring codebases around AI agents._ ### Does Planet Argon use Scrum Masters for their Rails projects? No, Planet Argon has not had Scrum Masters or Scrum meetings during the Software Delivery Manager's tenure there. Instead, sprints are managed directly by Project Managers who work closely with the team and clients, updating transparently between groups. This structure is described as saving the company from extra meetings and unnecessary overhead costs. _developers weighing scrum master versus PM-led sprints can compare real team setups on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [What an AI-Assisted Spike Taught Us About Selling Software](https://daily.dev/posts/what-an-ai-assisted-spike-taught-us-about-selling-software-dnqwadvhr) · RUBYLAND · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Look at all the things he's not doing](https://daily.dev/posts/look-at-all-the-things-he-s-not-doing-e6xpi9hak) · RUBYLAND · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [The Earth is not flat](https://daily.dev/posts/the-earth-is-not-flat-p5b0sytuz) · Medium · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [My Harness: How I stopped babysitting AI and went kitesurfing](https://daily.dev/posts/my-harness-how-i-stopped-babysitting-ai-and-went-kitesurfing-3uyqgo837) · Ruby Flow · 7 upvotes · 2 comments - [Product management on the AI exponential](https://daily.dev/posts/product-management-on-the-ai-exponential-ljee3mcex) · Claude · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#rails](https://daily.dev/tags/rails), [#claude-code](https://daily.dev/tags/claude-code), [#conference](https://daily.dev/tags/conference), [#project-management](https://daily.dev/tags/project-management) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/rails-world-what-did-our-software-delivery-manager-get-out-of-it--sjfbkambo) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Rails World: What Did our Software Delivery Manager get out of it?","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/rails-world-what-did-our-software-delivery-manager-get-out-of-it--sjfbkambo","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/rails-world-what-did-our-software-delivery-manager-get-out-of-it--sjfbkambo"},"datePublished":"2026-10-27T20:27:20.755Z","dateModified":"2026-10-27T20:46:27.922Z","description":"A Software Delivery Manager recaps takeaways from Rails World, focused on AI tooling and project management.
