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.

Chris and David welcome guest John Athayde, who runs the branding and UX consultancy, Meticulous. 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.
