The Ruby on Rails Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

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. Apple recently announced huge updates with generative AI for all of their platforms. Adobe, Canva, and Google have all added AI to their products. It seems like every vendor is building these features. So how will this change the way we write and think about code. Landon Gray joins the show to tell us how AI will change software development.
