…supporting them. Community support connected Kilpatrick’s engineering and advocacy work. After roughly two and a half years teaching Django through Harvard’s Division of Continuing Education, he joined the Django Events Foundation North…

…for AI products. A compelling demonstration does not remove the engineering challenges or societal processes between a prototype and broad deployment. Houston borrows autonomy levels informally: GitHub Copilot’s tab completion is a small…

…agent. With team follow-ups enabled, colleagues can contribute context to an agent someone else started. One workflow asks the agent to investigate an issue, consult code blame, and tag people who may understand the relevant code. The…

…(MLA), an attention technique discussed later for reducing context-memory demands. The attention tradeoff has a limit. In the speaker’s illustration, going from 64 heads to 32 halves attention work, but quadratic scaling with context length…

…while conversation with it retains the surrounding ChatGPT context. That gives developers a way to shape interaction beyond supplying a callable tool. Christina’s onstage demonstration built a live chat app for the DevDay website. She…

…suitable examples and producing them at scale becomes central engineering work. One proposed augmentation keeps each answer fixed while paraphrasing its prompt, giving the model several formulations of the same request.…

…Salesforce’s query language, SOQL, then ingest the results as context. Use APIs where the customer’s systems provide them was the founder’s preference. Most internal integrations used those programmatic interfaces; browser automation served…

…summarization made speed, cost, and faithfulness immediate engineering concerns. Elicit generated summaries on demand, relative to each query; a few searches could require hundreds. The desired behavior was precise: report what the abstract…

…rather than a general conversion between speedup and affordable context length. Two classical systems techniques provide the starting point. Kernel fusion combines operations so data can be loaded once, processed through several steps and…

…still help. Clearly specifying what to build remains engineering work. The interviewee expects that skill to retain its value as models improve: developers still have to determine requirements and explain the intended result, even when…

…those addresses with readable page content could give the model context and precise control. One participant argues that reasoning is already sufficient and that representation and control are the main remaining engineering problems.…

…smooth progress: apparent walls and plateaus may give way to engineering advances, with several areas of improvement contributing at once. For builders, the answer distinguishes two kinds of work: - Compensating for model limitations: some …
