Our February Talks

Sahil Deshmukh - *Member of Technical Staff, Tessl - "*I’ve Stopped Hand Writing Code! (And I'm not the only one)"

Writing features entirely by hand is becoming rare. Teams are shipping faster than ever - 400 PRs in two weeks for team Tessl - while breaking production less.

This isn’t just AI magic. It’s the result of restructuring how work gets done. This talk breaks down a practical, AI-native workflow - using AI as a development multiplier, not a replacement - and the systems that keep speed from turning into chaos.

It tackles the hard questions: trusting code you didn’t write, debugging AI-generated changes, and choosing the right trade-offs at an early-stage startup.

You’ll leave with practical, battle-tested patterns you can adapt to your own setup.

Merlin Mason - Product Engineer, incident -"Building a modern post-mortem writing experience"

An exploration of post-mortems in incident response - and how we built a rich text editor to create an exceptional writing experience.

Gillian Yeomans - Product Engineer, Granola - "Teaching My Computer to Be Helpful (And Occasionally Weird)"

OpenClaw is an open-source agent that's caught the headlines - find out how I use it at home and at work, and whether it lives up to the hype. I'll cover the setup, the safety config, and a range of use cases from the practical (research, holiday booking) to the questionable (unsolicited poetry to friends). Delegating to a computer turns out to be a good way to learn what delegation actually requires.
