How to Build AI-Native Engineering Teams

2 years ago, the engineering team's structure was fairly standardized, 2-pizza cross-functional teams and an engineering manager leading the team. These days, everyone is figuring it out as they go, making adjustments and seeing what may work and what not.In this talk, Gregor will share how companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Shutterstock and others build engineering teams in the AI era. He will also share his recommendation on the best structure for a specific type of organization.

Beyond Rubber Ducking - Engineering in Times of AI (LLMs)

We used to explain our bugs to rubber ducks. Now, the duck talks back, writes code, and occasionally lies to our faces.LLMs are incredible tools. They can cure "blank screen syndrome," instantly write boilerplate, and explain weird legacy code. But treating them like senior engineers is a massive trap.

Your Coding Agent Is Only as Good as Your Company’s Memory

Teams often start agent adoption by adding tools: MCP servers, API wrappers, chat interfaces in developer portals. But once coding agents move from local help into real delivery workflows, they usually fail earlier than the tool call. They read stale ownership, conflicting runbooks, missing deploy history, and policies that were written for humans.This talk introduces company memory as the missing layer for production coding agents: trustworthy, permission-aware engineering context that agents c

Faster and Lonelier: AI, Isolation, and the Erosion of Engineering Collaboration

AI makes individual engineers faster - and quietly more isolated.As coding agents become everyone's default pair, the collaboration that keeps an org healthy erodes: pairing fades, context gets trapped in private chat histories, knowledge stops diffusing, teams drift into silos.Velocity dashboards look great, so nothing seems wrong - until onboarding slows and bus-factor spikes.This talk names the failure mode, explains why standard metrics miss it, and shows what leaders can do to keep teams co

I Reverse Engineered RSC. Then I Integrated Fizz.

I built an RSC renderer in Rust by reverse engineering React's Flight protocol. The wire format, the serializer, the streaming machinery. I got it wrong in ways that taught me exactly how React internals work. Then I integrated the canonical Fizz renderer and discovered why React's approach exists.

Next.js: The Final Boss of Web Performance

In this data-driven talk, we will bypass marketing hype and unmask the hidden creatures behind Next.js., Using massive, real-world datasets from the HTTP Archive and the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX), we will review the chronological evolution of Next.js performance and contrast its promised performance features with the real-world metrics of massive sites struggling with performance debt. Don’t dream your web is fast. Face the reality before it's too late.

From Fiber to Async React

Almost a decade ago, React’s rendering algorithm was rebuilt, and with that it brought about new tools, ideas, and ways of building UI. But those tools arrived incrementally and were adopted in isolation, often framed as “optimizations” rather than part of a unified model. So are they truly independent ideas, or are they different expressions of the same underlying model made possible by the new rendering algorithm?Join us as we re-introduce "Async React" as the mental model for modern react and

Scaling Frontend Codebases for Humans and AI

Codebases grow over time, and as they do, they tend to get worse to work with. This usually isn't anyone's particular fault. People come and go, features get shipped, dependencies get added. It feels like a death by a thousand cuts.At Sentry, we noticed this too: Long CI pipelines, hundreds of components, bad abstractions, huge dependency graphs and import cycles.
