New York friends & reliability nerds! We'll be at #LeadDevNewYork and #StaffPlusNewYork this week, hosted by @leaddev.com

Akshay Shah will be trotting out our new unofficial mascot, come say hi!

Bonus: if you *are* deploying LLMs in the real world, I spoke at @leaddev.bsky.social’s #StaffPlusNewYork on how we ought to think about building engineering foundations in a world where engineers are using generative AI: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkSG...

One of the other talks I particularly appreciated from #StaffPlusNewYork this year was Adam Berman’s “Start with an exit in mind” lightning talk. (If “selfish” puts you off, I wouldn’t actually name what he describes that way. 😂) www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ws9...

LLMs and engineering foundations? For the AI hype folks, this is “how to make it better”; for the skeptics, “how to have a shot at making it not suck”. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkSG...

(Had a blast giving this @leaddev.bsky.social #StaffPlusNewYork back at the start of September!)

Substrate engineering: Engineering foundations in a world of LLMs We need to start investing much more in migrating to better programming languages, building better tooling, and authoring new frameworks where correctness is built in. What does that look like for you...

I posted my slides and script for my @leaddev.bsky.social #StaffPlusNewYork talk a few weeks ago, but the videos are now up so you can watch it now! It’s behind an email sign-up, but no pay-wall or anything: leaddev.com/staffplus-ne...

StaffPlus NY 2024: Substrate Engineering  — Sympolymathesy, by Chris Krycho Our engineering systems are not ready for a world of pervasive large language models. How can we do better?

Last Thursday, I gave this talk at @leaddev.bsky.social #StaffPlusNewYork, with a simple thesis: LLMs are here to stay in software dev (for good or for ill)… and our engineering foundations are not ready for that reality.

It took until the 9th dry run, 2 hours before I give the talk, but my #StaffPlusNewYork talk feels really *set* at last. Here we go! 🚀 @leaddev.bsky.social

I am at #StaffPlusNewYork today and tomorrow, so if you’re here (or just in the area!) say hi! For any reason, but maybe *especially* if you want to chat about #Rust, @typescriptlang.org, #programminglanguages in general, etc.!

Weeknote: June 22–29, 2024 — Sympolymathesy, by Chris Krycho Finishing a lot of first drafts: in music, in writing TRPL, and in talk preparation.

Weeknote for June 23–29—a week for finishing first drafts, of:

⚙️ The new async chapter for The #Rust Programming Language book.
🎼 The second movement of a major orchestral work.
🎤 My #StaffPlusNewYork talk.

Also: parsing function declarations!

Hearing about ADRs twice in today’s #StaffPlusNewYork talks makes me so happy. This blog from @CoralineAda might be my favorite “what is an ADR” article now! multithreaded.stitchfix.com/blog/2020/12/07/remote-d...
