Brendan Buckingham and Ryan Frisch talk about developing with Ruby on Rails and how to leverage it to build a business.
Ryan and Brendan talk through the growing pains of AI-assisted development — including fatigue, increased confidence in bigger code changes, and what happens when you stop paying for expensive APM tools and just build your own. Ryan walks through how he used Claude to identify memory pressure, fix N+1 queries, and cut his Heroku costs significantly in just a few days. They also dig into the real tradeoffs: maintenance burden, over-optimization, and why you still need to understand what Claude is telling you before you run anything on a live database.
