It’s no secret AI is changing engineering, but the real question is about how builders adapt to harness these new set of capabilites. At LinkedIn, we’re empowering teams, lowering friction, and reimagining the path it takes to write software and build products. Krishnan Sridhar and I have been having conversations like these as long as we’ve been working together, so this episode of In the Tech on the future of engineering is a chance for us to share ideas that we’re both really passionate about. Give it a watch and let us know how you see engineering evolving in this moment.

Part 4 in my series of notes from Advantage, the AI leadership summit that was preceded the Devnexus conference: David Parry, and his talk, “Shift to Agentic Software Engineering”! https://lnkd.in/edpCcf8w

Thought for the day: The future of work is the crafting of autonomous software systems that own outcomes. Leaders who can see their organisations through a systems lens, and understand both the internal and external ecosystems in which they live, will be best placed to design and evolve the system capabilities necessary to thrive. Leadership must evolve from being prompt engineers to ecosystem architects. In many ways this is the intersection of Prahalad & Hamel's “The Core Competence of the Corporation” and Wernerfelt's “A Resource-Based View of the Firm” with complex adaptive systems, and realised through AI-powered autonomous systems.

I'm super excited to announce 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺, a new video series where I talk to the best engineers I know and actually have them build something using coding agents with their own real-world workflows. What you can expect to get in each video: - 1 hour engineering build - Completely screenshared with all prompts, configs, hooks, AGENTS.md, etc. - Insights from how each guest uses coding agents in the real world In the first episode of the show, I spoke with Eno Reyes, the CTO of Factory, one of the leading AI agent research labs in the world building autonomous software engineering systems for enterprises. Eno walked through how he uses Factory Missions to solve long-running autonomous agent tasks and discussed why rigorous agent validations are the key to making this possible. Check the video in the comments!

There's only one bottleneck at a time. AI shifted it for software engineers. Gregor and I wrote an article explaining how a "productive software engineer" has evolved over time. Check it out! #softwareengineering #coding #programming

Implementing AI to your SDLC? Have a look at what Michael Kinloch , Alex Lukashevich and the Xceptor and Forte Group Teams have been working on. Very interesting and inspirational results, presented at CTO Craft London yesterday. The presentation is available here https://lnkd.in/gjvkyN_2 let me know what you think.

Eduardo Bouças has spent years thinking deeply about systems, scale, and the craft behind good engineering. This roundtable title feels especially timely right now. Looking forward to the conversation!

In this episode of Leaders of Code, Stack Overflow’s Chief of Product and Technology, Jody Bailey, sits down with Dana Lawson, CTO at Netlify. Dana shares her insights on leading a lean, globally distributed engineering team that powers 5% of the...

"If you don't know where to start with AI, start with solving for friction in your daily life. Real results come from solving real problems, even if they are small to begin with." This is the advice I gave a group of super sharp Georgetown University McDonough School of Business students who visited Snowflake as part of their AI Trek last week. Getting the hands-on skills, satisfaction of removing pain points, and ability to understand the mechanics (or lack thereof) is the best first-step. I recently created an app script to generate a weekly meeting brief flagging external attendees, leadership attending, and meeting prep docs. This led to another conversation about a meeting prep agent for sales calls and will become an agent next. It is a snowball effect. Just get started.

Most of y'all already know that but this is a friendly reminder that we are entering a different era of entrepreneurship... For years, actually shit, for decades, ideas died in notebooks because people thought they needed a CTO, funding, or permission to build. Well, that wall is gone. Tools like this are giving non-technical founders real leverage but what excites me even more is what Roy Wellner and the team at Augment.org are building around it. Not just tech, but community. Real builders. Real conversations. Real accountability. That combo is impactful. Because access to tools is one thing. Access to people who are actually building alongside you? That’s where momentum becomes inevitable. I am a proud member ⚡ #community #entrepreneurship #startups #businessschool
