AI EngineerAI Model Quality Is Table Stakes—UX Now Decides Adoption
Many AI features fail because users don't trust them. This talk breaks down the UX patterns—citations, transparency, control—that can make or break adoption.
Theo - t3․ggFable 5 vs GPT-5.6: The Real Cost Is Merge Debt
Two top AI coding models, two opposite tradeoffs: cost vs merge quality. Fable 5 is the premium plan, Soul the fast executor. Here's when to use each.
AI EngineerLoops Won’t Replace Your Engineers—Unless You Let Them
Loops promise speed but demand discipline: verification gaps, cost, and code rot threaten to undercut the hype. Pragmatic teams start small.
AI EngineerYour Model’s Best Feature Won’t Survive a Bad Harness
AI models are getting smarter, but the largest accuracy regressions come from broken harnesses, wrong system prompts, poor quantization—not the model itself.
AI EngineerCode Is Free—Architecture and Security Are Now the Bottleneck
Code writing is commoditized, and human code review may vanish. The real engineering bottleneck shifts to architecture, specification, and security governance.
AI EngineerAI Leverage Is in Org Charts, Not Model Choice
Garry Tan: AI leverage is org design—skill files as employees, resolver tables as org charts—not model choice. Revenue per head records broken.
AI EngineerExecution Is Cheap—Your Eval Design Will Make or Break Success
An AI agent won a coding competition by executing human ideas, signaling execution is automated. High-leverage work shifts to evaluation design, architecture.
Latent SpaceWhy the Next AI Scaling Axis Might Be a Wet Lab
Lila Sciences treats automated labs as verifiers, turning physical experiments into a scaling axis by generating tokens for generalist AI.
GOTO ConferencesThe Alignment Trap: Why Technical Leadership Isn’t Senior Coding
Tech leadership is about alignment, not architecture. Kua’s framework shows how to spot misalignment, own it, and reduce complexity across teams.
InfoQCutting SDK Duplication in Half with a Rust Core
Temporal's shared Rust core halved SDK duplication, but the bridge layer's complexity is the real lesson for leaders scaling multi-language products.
