Nate Berkopec returns to Remote Ruby joining Chris, Andrew, and David for a deep conversation about the latest wave of Ruby security vulnerabilities, AI-powered cybersecurity, and the rapidly changing role of software engineers. Nate shares his firsthand experience investigating a serious Ruby regex vulnerability, explains why developers need to take a more proactive approach to security, and challenges traditional development practices in an AI-driven world. From autonomous coding agents and dramatically faster development workflows to rethinking unit tests and code reviews, this episode explores why the future of programming may be less about writing code and more about building systems that deliver results.

This week on Remote Ruby, Chris, Andrew, and David welcome Dan Manges, co-founder of RWX and former CTO of Braintree, to explore a new approach to continuous integration built for the age of AI coding agents. Dan explains how RWX uses intelligent caching, graph-based execution, and isolated agent sandboxes to dramatically improve development workflows. They dive into flaky tests, automated code validation, security concerns, and why traditional CI platforms may be struggling to keep up with AI-driven development. Plus, they discuss how engineering teams can test changes before opening pull requests, reduce infrastructure costs, and rethink the way software gets built and shipped.

Jeff Dickey is back on Remote Ruby, and he's been busy! Andrew and Chris catch up with Jeff to discuss the latest improvements to mise, including precompiled Ruby builds, automatic tool updates, and dotfile management. Jeff also introduces some of his newest projects, including packslip, a new standard designed to make software distribution more secure, and jactionlint, his modernized GitHub Actions linter. The conversation explores everything from managing secrets with fnox and cleaning up massive Rust build caches to running your own CI infrastructure at home. They also dive into AI-assisted development, the future of Ruby performance, and how AI is changing the way open source software gets built and maintained.
