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!
