Rails World Prep, Herb in Rails, Stacked PR Headaches and New Ruby Tooling
Notas do episódio
This week, Chris, Andrew, and David dig into a packed mix of Rails news, developer tooling, and the increasingly complicated role AI is playing in everyday coding. They talk about Herb making its way into Rails, the realities of Rails upgrades and stacked PRs, new approaches to Git hosting and object storage, and how Rails is being evaluated in the age of AI agents. They also get into improvements coming to Action Text, Podia’s approach to “flavored” Markdown, the never-ending frustrations of HTML email, and why tools like ArchSpec and Rubydex could become especially useful as more code is generated by LLMs. Hit download now to hear more!
