Final reminder! Tomorrow at Noon Eastern: Christine Seeman tackles the real questions Ruby engineers are asking about AI integration. From prompting to code review workflows - this is your chance to level up your AI-assisted development without compromising on the Ruby principles that matter.
September 29, 2025 at 11:02 AM
You know Ruby. You've experimented with AI. Now what?

The real challenge isn't getting AI to generate code—it's getting it to generate *good* Ruby code that you'd actually want to maintain.
