Shipping Podia’s New Shop, AI Code Woes, and a Major Rails libvips CVE

Andrew shares what went into launching Podia’s new Shop experience, Chris breaks down a serious Rails Active Storage security vulnerability, and David earns a developer rite of passage by accidentally bringing production to its knees. Along the way, they talk Redis 6, smarter Active Record queries, testing philosophy, and why sometimes the fastest solution is still jumping into the code yourself. Hit download now to hear more!
