Chaos Doesn't Have to Win - Maintaining Order in the Midst of AI Change

About this episode

The episode discusses how to maintain order in the workplace amidst rapid changes brought by AI.

Your job is changing faster than ever, and it might be tempting to believe that chaos is simply the new norm. In today's episode, I want to push back on that idea. Part of your role as a senior engineer or leader is to make sure chaos doesn't win — not just to rein it in reactively, but to go on the offense and create order. We'll talk about one important way to do this: protecting the ceremonies on your team.
