AI is transforming how we build software, making strong engineering culture more important than ever. As teams embrace new tools and ways of working, clear expectations, effective communication, architectural discipline, and engineering standards become increasingly critical.

We'll explore how engineering leaders can foster experimentation, reinforce the fundamentals, and build cultures that adapt and thrive in an AI-first world, while helping a growing community of AI-enabled builders understand what engineering is really about.
