Scott Werner on Generative AI and the Future of Programming for Rubyists

Description:
Through building Sublayer, some principles have emerged of what does and does not work well when using generative AI to build products. This talk will share some specific ideas that internalized from working in Ruby and Rails over a long career, and how they’ll apply to the new paradigm we all will be working in soon.
