Navigating the Labyrinth of Webhooks and APIs
Notas do episódio
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.
