AI agents are no longer just tools we manually wire together—they’re starting to build themselves. In this episode of Ruby Rogues, I caught up with Valentino Stoll to explore a fascinating idea: autogenetic (self-generating) AI agents and what they mean for how we write software in Ruby.

We dig into Valentino’s experimental Ruby gem, agentic, and talk about plan-and-execute workflows, self-assembling agents, and how modern LLMs are reshaping everything from local development to production systems. Along the way, we zoom out to ask bigger questions about learning, career longevity, and what Ruby developers should really be focusing on as AI continues to accelerate.

AI isn’t eliminating the need for developers—it’s pushing us up the abstraction ladder. Understanding systems, concepts, and architecture matters more than ever, even as we write fewer lines of code by hand.
