Recorded live at All Things Open, Robbie and guest co-host Nick Taylor talk with Bdougie (Brian Douglas) about open source&rsquo;s impact on their careers, the legacy of OpenSauced, and why developer tools succeed&mdash;or don&rsquo;t. They dive into Git philosophy, editor wars, AI&rsquo;s sometimes-chaotic influence on coding, and how strong frameworks like Rails still shape the ecosystem.
