RubyZG March meetup @ BIZkoshnica

Hello Rubyists!

This month, we’re turning our attention to AI and the many ways it’s already changing how we work and build with Ruby and Rails.
Our meetup will have 3 shorter talks so we can get more perspectives how different developers and companies use AI.

A big thank you to RubyCentral, in partnership with GitHub, for making this event possible and for graciously covering the cost of the venue. Their support helps us keep events like this going.

After the talks, we’ll keep the evening going with the unofficial part of the meetup at the nearby cafe, so stick around for a drink and continue the conversation.

See you at BIZkoshnica!

Keeping AI Agents in a Sandbox
by Marko Avlijaš
This talk is about building a safer environment for AI agents. Since an LLM agent cannot be fully trusted, the goal is to limit what it can access and what damage it can do. The agent runs inside a Firecracker microVM and a Podman container, with access only to approved data and services.

The talk will also give a simple overview of isolation in containers and virtual machines. It will cover the basic ideas behind namespaces and cgroups, touch on past escape vulnerabilities, and explain how auditing can help detect suspicious behavior.

To vibe, or not to vibe, is that the question?!
by Iskren Nemet
As it is almost impossible to hide from the AI tsunami, what can you do if you actually want to learn fundamental and advanced programming techniques, and not just be another AI agent shepherd? Let’s pair up with Socrates and examine together what options are on the table and how we can use them inside our Ruby and Rails world via VS Code, the most standard and popular code editor today, and its AI fellow: GitHub Copilot.
