About this episode
This week, Andrew and Chris swap stories from the front lines of Ruby development, from wrangling GitHub Actions and speeding up CI to keeping old Ruby versions alive on brand-new servers. They also unpack a tricky Sidekiq deployment issue, explore the promise of compiling Ruby apps into standalone executables, and reflect on how AI is making once-impossible infrastructure problems a little easier to solve.
