@maiamiller.bsky.social now on stage pointing out that people now recognize that accessibility matters, but they don’t know how to fit it in — so it’s like a t shirt that you forgot to put in the laundry. #nztechrally

Dipin Thomas doing a fantastic job explaining Deep Agent and AI harnesses — an AI harness is something that provides tools and guardrails for AI, and Dipin has done a great job breaking down each component of a harness, from memory to sub-agents to skills and more. #NZTechRally

Kia ora! I’m posting today from #nztechrally — currently enjoying Lora Vordarova’s talk about how the way people learn engineering needs to change with AI. She shared a model tor how to break it down — into foundational skills, AI skills, and “higher-level” skills. (See photo).

Stoked for this next talk, the closing keynote at #Programmable2026 — Adam Boas from Mable chatting about being a dev in a world with AI

Really nodding my head at this part of Matt de Bono’s talk — agents are not people. Don’t use she/he for them, don’t anthropomorphize them. They’re not making decisions, and we shouldn’t trust them like they do #Programmable2026

Really enjoying Diane L’s talk about “herding cats at scale” (AI guardrails) at #Programmable2026 — great summary of the about the pros and cons of different AI guardrails

Adoption of AI does not equal impact. Only 14% of companies report seeing revenue gains. Mara Cajar-Robinson at #Programmable2026

I’m here at #Programmable2026 today — which means I’m here and skeeting today! Come say hi if you’re around

Enforcing standards is a key control to prevent AI slop in your coding. @lpeate.bsky.social at #Programmable2026

Delivery pressures directly conflict with AI learning and adoption. @lpeate.bsky.social at #Programmable2026

Engineers do more work when using AI. But... Also more work outside of hours @lpeate.bsky.social at #Programmable2026

With AI, our research shows that engineers are worried about issues ranging from maintainability to the environmental impact and number of jobs for juniors. Also, hello from #Programmable2026 !

What concerns engineers about AI? Maintainability, reduced learning, reduced understanding, and more. @lpeate.bsky.social at #Programmable2026

Hello from San Jose! I’m here to speak at DataWeek (going on stage in an hour!). Come find me if you’re around today or tomorrow — I’m wearing a shirt with a “happy code ship” (and giving out stickers).

Human reviewers are more important than ever with LLMs writing and reviewing code. But alongside that, the role of humans is shifting – and that’s why it’s so important to understand the patterns in code reviews. Are they different when we’re using more LLMs? See our latest feature for more!

Multitudes@multitudes.co · 12mo ago

📅 Our new Feedback Themes feature is out 📅 We're all about giving you more insights into your code reviews, and this new feature identifies patterns in feedback given so you can spot hot topics for your team. Read more in our help docs: docs.multitudes.com/metrics-and-...

I don't look happy here 🤣 but I had a great time co-presenting with @vivekkatial.bsky.social at @yowconf.bsky.social about how we built our first LLM feature – to measure the quality of feedback on code reviews.

“As an engineering leader, we should be expected to sharpen our sword as much as our devs.” Adel Smee shared great insights for supporting your Eng leaders to learn and grow — including the Society of Cool Kids, a fortnightly meetup where their leaders go to share challenges & learnings #YOWTLS25

“Like any good cult leader, I needed a manifesto” 😂😂 Adel Smee has us all laughing. #yowtls

And we’re off with a bang! @yowconf.bsky.social Tech Leaders Brisbane kicks off with an amazing keynote from @codefrenzy.bsky.social — what are software engineers if they’re not writing code? And what do leaders need to do to guide teams through this change?

It is live!!! After years in the making, we now give you insights into feedback quality in @multitudes.co – showing specific feedback, rubber-stamping, and heated comments. As with everything we do, these insights are a question, not the answer, and this is backed by deep research (more below).

🚨 Feedback Quality is now live! We're delighted to ship v1 of this new feature, allowing you to identify what constructive feedback looks like for your team. Our model classifies your feedback, finds patterns, and gives you examples to use in coaching conversations. Learn more: bit.ly/4mTewZ9

Great framework from Alex Zaccaria of LinkTree about giving your team clarity when sharing ideas: —thought: my idea, but you can make a different decision —recommendation: I would like to do it this way; it’s your decision but tell me what you decide —mandate: this is how we’ll do it #sunrise25

Loved your talk, @sachajudd.com! Especially this —> “The metaphor of surfing implies movement; the metaphor of platforms implies that we’re stationery.” Great call to action to make the internet more joyful again by creating something just for yourself.

The best customers are ones that make your product better. Huge thanks to the @honeycomb.io team for co-designing new PagerDuty insights with us! Special shout-outs to @ferd.ca and @another-engineer.bsky.social in particular. 🙏

@honeycomb.io needed to track and report the human impact of on-call alerts. Together, we co-designed a solution that cut their reporting time by 90% and provided transparent reporting on the impact of alerts. Read here: www.multitudes.com/success-stor...

@allenholub.bsky.social “10X programmers actually slow down software delivery” — eventually leading to a steady state where all knowledge is concentrated in one person and they become a key person risk and bottleneck #yow24
