Move Fast, Don’t Break Trust: Shipping Constantly with Humans and Beyond

Suhail Patel discusses how Monzo structures its software engineering organization and technical stack to ship safely hundreds of times a day. He shares insights into opinionated microservice abstractions, tenancy-based staging, static analysis checks, continuous profiling, demonstrating how a strong internal platform enables engineers and LLMs to iterate rapidly without sacrificing reliability.

Actors for Agents: Patterns for Production AI

Manju Rajashekhar explains how the actor model solves the complex runtime challenges of production AI agents. By treating agents as distributed systems, he discusses state ownership, message passing, write-through state, and supervision boundaries to manage failures, continuations, and mutable execution graphs, moving agentic workflows beyond fragile demos to resilient architecture.

AI is an Amplifier: Scale High Performance, Not Dysfunction

Nathen Harvey shares insights from DORA research on AI adoption in software delivery. He explains why AI acts as an amplifier, how the DORA AI Capabilities Model drives outcomes, and why engineering leaders must evolve beyond bottlenecks like code reviews to achieve sustainable productivity, reduce delivery instability, and empower developers without burning out their teams.
