Some notes from @aiDotEngineer world fair: > the energy was incredible. it's magical to have a large group of smart, hungry, technical, and driven people learning from each other under one roof. > the frontier is accelerating rapidly. in six months, we went from software factories barely being a thing to questioning whether it makes sense/what comes next. > the CL convergence: companies previously doing observability, evals, memory, fine-tuning, agent improvement are all now focussed on continual learning. > memory has become a super load-bearing term. databases (oracle), knowledge bases, personalization, company knowledge, agent continuity can all be described as memory. > agentic commerce is being slept upon. the talks barely had attendance, even though volume/traction is accelerating. > the ai in gtm track was fun! packed with tactical advice and a glimpse into how job functions beyond coding changing > ai is the great levelling field. folks with 10 years of experience in their domain learning from those with one year of ai-native experience in the llm-native version of the same domain. > new jobs are being created as we speak - met someone who is a "software factory manager" internally within their team. > talks that stood out: @RLanceMartin on claude for long-horizon talk, @BurnedChris on AEO for dev tools, @theo on thinking bigger. > kudos to @swyx, @liamcbride and the AIE team. incredible organization, impressive scale, no major visible hiccups - this could not have been easy.
