Introducing ReadySetGo. An AI application generator that creates first versions of products, built in Rails, to thoughtbot’s best practices. Not throwaway, vibe-coded prototypes. Real foundations that can be built upon.
Sami makes his triumphant return to the Giant Robots Smashing into other Giant Robots Podcast as he and his fellow hosts discuss a brand new tool currently in pre-production at thoughtbot.
Our Tech Leader UK Tour is coming to Bristol on March 19th. This is your invite to connect in person with the thoughtbot team and other product leaders in South West England.
AI-generated code doesn’t have to be throwaway code. Here’s how we used Claude Code to build a fully-tested, production-quality Rails prototype in two weeks, complete with a robust test suite, clean commits, and code we were proud to have written.
Chad and Will examine the ever expanding AI bubble and ponder on what we can expect it to see evolve in the coming years.
Celebrate Giant Robots’ 600th episode in style as Sami pulls together thoughtbot staff old and new to celebrate this monumental milestone.
In addition to our regular tech leader event in London, we’re partnering with local tech leaders to bring the event to Manchester, Bristol, Brighton, and Edinburgh this year.
Chad and Will start the new year off right by discussing their aspirations for 2026.

We’ve been running product design sprints for over a decade. Now Claude and Claude Code are helping us prototype faster than ever—without sacrificing quality. Here’s how we built a working prototype in hours, not days.
