Episode 546: Gearing up for Rails World, with Amanda Perino
Rails Foundation Executive Director Amanda Perino joins David to preview Rails World 2026, the conference’s first year in the United States.
Amanda shares how the team is bringing Austin’s personality into the event through live music, barbecue, sponsor experiences, a mechanical bull, the returning Buzzsprout podcast booth, and Rails World’s biggest lightning-talk stage yet. She also discusses the opening keynote livestream, the lightning-talk CFP, ticket availability, and what attendees should expect as the conference approaches.
The conversation then turns to the Rails Foundation itself. Amanda explains how the rapid growth of AI has forced the organization to reconsider how it executes its mission across events, marketing, documentation, and education. They also discuss the challenge of building a conference program that serves developers interested in AI without neglecting everything else happening in Ruby and Rails.
Finally, Amanda surprises David with an extra ticket to Rails World—and they decide to give it away to a podcast listener.

Episode 541: Markus Schirp and Mutation Testing
With AI seeming to generate more code every day, we need better tools to verify that it hasn't broken something. Maybe mutation testing can help us get there. Markus Schirp chats with us about the mutant gem and mutation testing.

Large language models are everywhere now. They’re changing the way we work, from tools code completion tools like Copilot, to audio generation apps like Suno.ai.

Episode 507: Stephen Margheim on SQLite in Ruby on Rails Applications
If you start a new Rails project today, you’re probably going to pick Postgres for your database. And if you have a ten year old Rails app, you might be using MySQL. But Rails ships with support for SQLite, a lightweight SQL database. Can that lightweight database be used to make production-ready software? Stephen Margheim joins the show to help us answer that question.
