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
