Ruby Runway Spotlight: Michael Carroll of Coolhand Labs

Michael Carroll, founder of Coolhand Labs, shares his journey building an AI agent observability and optimization platform using Ruby. The product acts as a 'COO for AI agents,' using log traces and human feedback to improve efficiency and cut costs. Carroll highlights a gap in the AI tooling ecosystem: most observability platforms only support Python and Node.js, leaving Ruby developers underserved. Coolhand Labs fills that gap with a Ruby gem for collecting LLM traces. The interview also touches on Ruby's philosophy of developer happiness, its influence on the product's design ethos, and advice for Ruby developers considering starting a company.
