Rails at Scale, Roundhouse Performance, and AI-Era Supply Chain Security
Notas do episódio
Andrew and Chris are back with a packed episode covering everything from Rails World anticipation and Rails 8.2 to security, Ractors, AI-assisted development, and some ambitious new Ruby tooling. They dig into RubyGems recent spam-publishing incident and Trusted Publishing, look at Shopify’s push toward Ractor-safe Rails, and explore Roundhouse, a project experimenting with compiling Rails applications into entirely different target languages. They also talk about using Claude for project planning and open source maintenance, new approaches to AI beyond traditional LLMs, the surprisingly inexpensive architecture behind Turbopuffer, PlanetScale’s new TIN search extension, and Andrew’s move from a small Sinatra deployment service to Cloudflare Workers.
