On this episode, Chris, Andrew, and David dive into the rapidly changing world of AI-assisted development, Ruby performance, and the future of building software. They kick things off with AI-powered coding workflows before exploring the Campfire benchmarking controversy and the exciting possibilities of Roundhouse, which could dramatically improve Ruby application performance. Andrew shares his experience launching a new AI agent inside Podia, including the challenges of getting its MCP integration approved by OpenAI, managing AI costs, and testing security. The conversation shifts to optimizing GitHub Actions, reducing CI expenses, and whether developers should start hosting their own runners. They also speculate about the future of all-in-one development platforms and how AI might reshape everything from writing code to deploying applications. Hit download now!

Fresh off Rails World 2026, Chris, Andrew, David, and returning guest John Athayde unpack the surprisingly emotional conversation surrounding AI, Ruby, Rails, and the future of programming. What starts as a discussion about Spinel, Roundhouse, Rust, and Rails performance quickly turns into a much bigger question: what happens to developers when writing code is no longer the main job? They dig into AI-assisted development, changing ideas around craftsmanship and creativity, the growing importance of testing and CI, and whether frameworks like Rails become more valuable in an AI-driven world. They also reflect on the mood at Rails World, autonomous cars, AI-generated design, and why the real value of conferences may increasingly be simply getting developers together in the same room.

Recorded live from Rails World 2026, Andrew, Chris, David, Jason Charnes, and eventually Andy Croll, unpack the strange mood surrounding this year’s conference. Much of the conversation centers on DHH’s keynote and the increasingly agent-driven future of software development: if AI can write, debug, and even understand the code for us, what happens to the value of frameworks, developer expertise, documentation, and even Ruby itself? They also dig into Hotwire, Active Search, Herb, Active Job Continuations, security concerns around AI-generated software, and what the Ruby community might rally around if the language becomes less central to how developers identify themselves. And because it’s Rails World, there’s plenty of barbecue, conference chaos, bad jokes, and Andy Croll crashing the podcast. Hit download now!

Chris, Andrew, and David are back with a conversation that starts with Rails World plans. They break down APIs, webhooks, and persistent connections, using everything from thermostats to Stripe to explain how systems communicate and recover when things go wrong. From there, Chris shares what caught his eye in PlanetScale’s new Postgres sharding work, before the conversation shifts heavily toward AI-assisted programming, where the tools are surprisingly capable one minute and making baffling architectural decisions the next. They also explore how AI is changing Chris’s work on Jumpstart and Hatchbox, improving Rails actionable errors, tackling years-old Android bugs, and potentially reshaping how open source projects are maintained.

Ryan Castillo returns to the show to catch everyone up on what’s changed since his last appearance…and a lot has changed. Ryan explains why he and his co-founder moved on from their web application firewall Wafris and built Knowatoa, a platform focused on helping companies understand how their brands appear in AI-powered search. From there, the conversation expands into GEO and AI search visibility, multi-agent coding workflows, AI skills as the future of content, and when developers should or shouldn’t delegate work to AI. Chris also gets candid about Hatchbox’s recent pricing increase, the financial pressure behind the decision, and why talking directly with customers may be just as important as shipping the next feature.

The conversation centers on Rails direct routes, why they can be more powerful than helpers, the upcoming Rails World CFP and ticket rush, how AI is becoming more practical inside real engineering teams, a reminder to fill out the Rails survey, and Chris’s continued work expanding the Rails Getting Started Guide into a more realistic e-commerce tutorial with wishlists, reviews, ratings, and product images.

Chris, Andrew, and David open with some classic confusion over what day it is then dive into Podia’s gradual rollout of a major new app version, including how the team is handling migration, feature flags, dogfooding, and eventual cleanup. From there, the discussion turns to underrated Rails routing features like direct routes and resolve routes, a newly merged Rails query command, observability improvements through Hatchbox’s AppSignal integration, and the ongoing pain of CSS build tooling in Rails apps. They also touch on conference season and their upcoming talks. Press download now to hear more!

They dive into John’s unusual path through the Rails world as a designer, front-end developer, consultant, author, and UX thinker. The conversation moves from early Rails history and The Rails View into a broader discussion about why designers need to understand implementation, how AI is changing product and UI work, where component-based design is headed, and why browser support is still one of the messiest parts of modern web development.
