In this episode, Chris, Andrew, and David kick things off with a very Remote Ruby style detour through Costco, Blue Apron, leftovers, Blackstone grills, and cast iron pans. Then, Andrew explains his Stripe subscription migration scare and major GitHub Actions workflow improvements that sped up Podia’s CI by 20–30%. They dive into Apple’s new on-device AI tooling, container alternatives on macOS, and the state of conferences, GitHub, AI infrastructure costs, solar power, and even crows attacking solar panels.
