Ernesto Tagwerker

Ernesto Tagwerker joins Chris, Andrew, and David, to talk about how AI is changing Rails development, consulting, and the way teams approach upgrades and maintenance. They discuss using Claude Code for Rails upgrades, the risks of relying too heavily on AI-generated tests and code, and why strong development standards are becoming even more important. The conversation also explores code quality, open AI models, team consistency, and how developers can use AI to work more efficiently without giving up the experience and judgment that good software still requires.
