Recorded live at All Things Open, Robbie and guest co-host Nick Taylor talk with Bdougie (Brian Douglas) about open source’s impact on their careers, the legacy of OpenSauced, and why developer tools succeed—or don’t. They dive into Git philosophy, editor wars, AI’s sometimes-chaotic influence on coding, and how strong frameworks like Rails still shape the ecosystem.
