We're excited to announce our #YOWTLS25 keynote Annie Vella!

She'll explore AI-assisted development's long-term impact, why keeping systems (& orgs) simple still matters, & what to be mindful of before short-term gains turn into long-term costs in 'The Duality of AI in Software Engineering'

Next up is Simon Wardan, bravely following that AI rant with a talk on incorporating AI as a system component. Doing a good job of highlighting best practices for incorporating AI *where it makes sense*. #YOWTLS25

I really like this point: When you join a new org as a manager, you have about a month for “Sorry not sorry,” where you can get away with stuff because they’ve invested so much time/effort in hiring you. Use it wisely. #YOWTLS25

Loved @codefrenzy.bsky.social 's keynote at #yowtls25 about the dualities of AI in software engineering! For everything we gain in adopting AI, what are we giving up? Learning? Intuition? Quality? Identity?
Smoothing out the terrain: when the terrain is too smooth, will we even notice what we're stepping over?

After lunch, we have Rasmus Lystrøm giving a barnburner of an AI rant. To paraphrase Nietzsche, if you stare at an LLM long enough, you become more like an AI - hallucinating and full of bullshit. 😂✊ # YOWTLS25

Next up is Fredy Lievano, sharing a war story about inheriting a broken team with missed deadlines and unhappy customers, and how engineering leadership can respond to crisis. I especially liked his reminder right at the start… #YOWTLS25
