Debugging Your Team: An AMA on AI, Trust, and Identity in Engineering Teams
October 28 | 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET

Charity Majors CTO & Co-founder, Honeycomb

Dr. Cat HicksFounder & Cheif Scientist, Catharsis
AI mandates have had a mixed track record across the industry, with engineering leaders and teams grappling with the reality without knowing how to navigate it.
Charity Majors (co-author of Observability Engineering) and Dr. Cat Hicks (author of The Psychology of Software Teams) have spent the past years figuring out why AI-related conflicts surface on engineering teams and what to actually do about it.
In this virtual discussion and AMA, Charity and Dr. Cat dig into:
- Why picking a lane beats letting your team "fight it out" and how to do it without becoming the AI police
- How to help engineers build a durable sense of identity and learn new skills with AI, rather than worry about being replaced by it
- Why observability is a useful model for how a team can build and learn together with agents
