Hype vs. Reality: The State of Code Quality. I’m speaking today about this topic, at the promising AI Engineer Code NYC conference! Fantastic speaker lineup: Leadership Track, 11am ~ 12:40 pm ET includes: • OpenAI: Bill Chen • McKinsey & Company: Martin Harrysson, Natasha M.

Just arrived in Atlanta. I’ve been prepping to deliver an executive-level workshop on AI code review and code quality.

It really comes down to this.

My colleagues and I collaborated well on this 🙏🏽 amazing teaming up with 2 of our Sales leaders for an engaging workshop on code quality with AI to executives. This was a great, interactive discussion.

As a software developer, I want software out of almost everything I use

sometimes you have to just force yourself to read a bunch of boring dry material, don't pick up your phone and start scrolling, dont check twitter, just keep reading. 30 days of that you're an entirely different person. Your brain wont get any better always riding easy street

AI code generation is just one piece of the larger puzzle.

Furthermore, it is being overlooked by traditional systems that are fundamentally required for you to fully harness the power of AI!

Just had Claude write a PR for a 2000 LOC feature branch where some commits contained 2-3 related changes, cleared context, re-read the PR draft and broke it down into 4 incrementally testable PRs with clean, easily reviewable git trees and descriptive extended commit messages.

“For leaders, the key AI question is shifting from “What’s the next model?” to “What’s the right system architecture?” This new article looks at world models, embodied AI, and why systems engineering, not just scale, will decide who wins. This (long) article makes the case for

In Paris, I attended a speakers’ dinner for an AI conference. NVIDIA, OpenAI, Netflix, etc. at the table. We discussed a myriad topics: - how to multiply spending $ on what you actually enjoy and reduce/eliminate spending on what you don’t - competition and moats in AI dev tool

Who will I see at AWS ReInvent next week? Let's meet! :)

Some software engineers should consider specializing in software architecture. Would be a segway into AI architecture, an incredibly valuable area of expertise in this market.

And this is why, as a woman, you should do what you want. The moment you let society define you, you’ll spend your whole life shrinking and stretching yourself to fit boxes you were never meant for.

One of the most successful women I know is a black woman and she does not entertain social hierarchies in “friend groups”. She quite literally exists above and beyond it.

Love this. When a friend group is truly elite you never know who’s a possible late bloomer or WHETever. The lore of A dope friend group is knowing that at any moment ANY one in the group is capable of greatness. Behooves you to nurture all connection, not arbitrary pre roles.

The more I return to myself, the less I tolerate anything that disturbs my peace, dishonors my truth or dims my light.

Just landed in Vegas for Reinvent 🙌🏽

Everything I want is already mine because I’m willing to put the work in for it. Nothing is off limits because I’m always a winner in my reality. I’m dedicated to the long game.

Some interesting notes from convos AWS re:Invent so far: - AI code gen is taking over in the dev world, including in open source - tech leads and Eng managers are hunting for code quality solutions - proof of ROI for AI initiatives are a major concern the more that leaders dig
