SUMMARY:The New Consumer of Engineering Context -- How AI Changes the Economics—and Design—of What We Know
DESCRIPTION:This presentation argues that AI's impact depends less on model quality and more on organizational context—ownership clarity\, decision visibility\, and system knowledge. It explains why identical AI tools can produce wildly different results across teams\, and makes the case that the real competitive edge in the AI era comes from making an organization's knowledge and systems legible\, not from smarter models alone.

SUMMARY:Why We Dig In: Putting our Shovels Down to Harness the Power of Conflict
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores why engineers' natural problem-solving instincts can backfire in disagreements\, causing them to defend fixed positions ("dig in") rather than explore ideas together\, which turns healthy debate into unproductive conflict. Using familiar scenarios like architecture discussions and code reviews\, it offers approaches for "putting the shovel down"—reframing conflict as a tool for better technical outcomes and stronger teams rather than something to avoid.

SUMMARY:Now that we have AI\, can we do a Ruby upgrade?
DESCRIPTION:AI and LLMs are rapidly transforming engineering workflows and exposing vulnerabilities in the open-source codebases we rely on. I’ll share my ongoing experiments to streamline Enova's Ruby upgrade process using AI. It will cover where LLMs can be useful\, where they fall short\, and actionable best practices that all Enova SE teams can apply to their own workflows.

SUMMARY:Project Prioritization - What I Learned From Video Games!
DESCRIPTION:Every gamer knows the eternal question: grind the side quest for XP\, or push the main story? Turns out\, that same instinct you use to decide whether to farm loot or fight the boss is basically project prioritization in disguise. In this talk\, I'll level up your prioritization skills by raiding real examples from video games — unpacking what actually makes a task 'worth it\,' and how to build your own priority meter so you're always making the highest-value move next.
