Building the next generation of engineers: The case for apprenticeship

Tech NGO partner:

A look at how apprenticeship can help engineering leaders develop the next generation of technical talent for an AI-enabled world.

AI is changing not only how engineers work, but what companies need from the next generation of technical talent. As traditional pathways into the industry narrow and the skills required to succeed continue to evolve, engineering leaders have an opportunity to play a more active role in how that talent is developed.

Drawing on The Marcy Lab School’s work building apprenticeship programs alongside employers, this talk explores apprenticeship as a model for developing engineers around the real work, tools, and judgment today’s teams require.

Through lessons from Marcy’s evolving approach and a case study of an apprenticeship co-designed with Cockroach Labs, attendees will see what becomes possible when employers treat early-career development as a craft worth investing in and the role engineering leaders can play in shaping who gets to become an engineer in an AI-enabled world.

Key takeaways:

• AI is changing what engineering readiness looks like. Technical skills alone aren’t enough; emerging engineers need judgment, communication, and the ability to work critically with AI-enabled tools.
• Apprenticeship gives engineering leaders a role in developing talent, not just hiring it. Employers can shape early-career engineers around the real work and capabilities their teams need.
• Building the next generation of engineers requires new pathways into the field. Strong technical talent exists beyond traditional pipelines, but creating durable pathways requires employers and talent-development organizations to build them together.

The state of AI in software development: Insights across 500+ organizations

Sponsored by:

Headlines claim AI is transforming software engineering overnight. Across more than 500 engineering organizations, we see patterns that challenge the hype and reveal what’s really working, and what isn’t, when AI enters the software development lifecycle.

In this talk, Justin Reock, Deputy CTO at DX, will share a data-driven “state of the union” on AI in engineering, grounded in both quantitative data from thousands of developers and on-the-ground observations.
You’ll learn:
The current impact of AI, from benchmarks on the percentage of code authored, team PR throughput, and time savings
Where AI adoption is creating real gains in throughput, and whether it introduces tradeoffs for quality and maintainability
Insights and trends, including whether junior or senior developers are seeing bigger gains, the impact of structured rollouts, which tools are having the most impact, and the evolving definition of “developer”

The session will conclude with a practical framework for measuring AI’s impact, helping leaders cut through hype and understand the impact AI is having in their own organizations.

Key takeaways

• Do we have the right team?
• Do we have the right technology?
• Do we have the right product vision?
• Do we have the right balance between innovation and liability?
• Do we have the right product <> market fit?

The Big Debate

Is your token bill growing faster than your productivity?

Sponsored by

AI coding assistants were sold as a productivity multiplier, but for many teams the economics are getting harder to justify. Token costs are climbing, usage is sprawling across tools and teams, and the promised efficiency gains are proving difficult to measure, let alone attribute to the spend.

How do you measure real productivity gains against a rising AI bill, and are you even tracking the right metrics? What happens when teams reach for AI as a default rather than a deliberate choice, driving costs up without a clear return? And at what point does unchecked usage stop being an investment in speed and start becoming an unaccountable line item?

Join this discussion as leaders share how they’re thinking about AI ROI, from cost governance and usage accountability to the harder question of what productivity actually means in an AI-augmented engineering org

Protecting innovation under pressure: A practical loop for product and engineering teams

Sponsored by:

When teams are under pressure to deliver, innovation is often the first thing to disappear. Roadmaps fill up, urgent requests take over, and product and engineering teams can lose the space to explore better ways of solving important problems.

From a product manager’s vantage point across customer needs, business priorities, and engineering realities, this talk explores how leaders can create the conditions for innovation without losing momentum. We’ll outline in detail a loop your Engineering Leads can use in working with their Product Partner to find the right problems, build the space, time, and constraints needed to let innovation flow, and finally measure and share learnings + impact.

Rather than offering a rigid framework, the talk will share practical ideas for balancing delivery with discovery, and for helping product and engineering teams make better decisions together when priorities, constraints, and expectations keep changing.

What you’ll leave with:

• A way to tell a real problem from a feature request, so you invest in the few that compound.
• A method for setting constraints that open up exploration instead of shutting it down, plus a rule for keeping a backlog both flexible and calm.
• A way to measure innovation work that earns you the space to keep doing it next quarter.

AI-native development: How to actually get the most out of your agents

Sponsored by:

A practical look at the SDLC mechanics that separate teams getting real output from agents from teams generating a lot of code that doesn’t hold up. This talk covers spec-driven development as a way to give agents better constraints, large language model (LLM) gateway and routing strategies for managing which model handles which task, test-driven development adapted for an agent-first workflow, and verification practices built for the volume and pace of AI-generated code. This session is a deep dive on the actual mechanics of building software well with agents in the loop.

The talk also covers the part most teams haven’t started on: the environment itself. CI, version control, code review tooling and codebases were all designed for humans as the primary user. When agents become the primary user, that assumption quietly breaks. Agents don’t fail randomly — they fail when context is lost. Designing environments agents can navigate, verify against, and operate in safely and autonomously is where the next tranche of productivity actually lives.

You’ll leave with:

• A framework for writing specs that give agents better constraints to work within
• A way to think about LLM gateway and routing decisions, including when to route tasks to different models
• A test-driven approach adapted for an agent-first workflow
• A set of verification practices built for the volume and pace of AI-generated code
• A view of what an agent-ready engineering environment looks like — and where your current setup still assumes a human is driving

DirectorPlus Roundtable

Who owns the quality bar when agents write the code?

Sponsored by:

A roundtable on how senior engineering leaders keep review and accountability meaningful as AI generates more code than teams can confidently check by hand. The question is shifting from whether teams use agents to how standards, accountability, and judgment should work once people and agents write code together. This session compares real operating models for keeping human judgment focused where it matters most.

Discussion includes:

• How to decide what should be validated automatically versus where human judgment still needs to lead
• How to make quality standards enforceable across teams, rather than left to reviewer habit
• How to decide what evidence should exist before a change moves forward

Beyond DORA: How to measure developer productivity in a way that actually drives change

Sponsored by:

A roundtable on how senior engineering leaders move beyond vanity metrics and build a meaningful picture of developer productivity- one that reflects how engineering teams actually work and what’s genuinely holding them back.

Most productivity frameworks measure what’s easy to count. The harder challenge is choosing the right signals, getting buy-in across the organization, and turning data into decisions that improve how engineers work day to day.

Discussion includes:

• How to evaluate modern productivity framework – including DORA, SPACE, and DX Core 4,  and choose the right approach for your organization
• How to identify the metrics that reflect real engineering performance rather than output proxies
• How to build organizational buy-in for productivity measurement and use the data to drive genuine improvement

DirectorPlus Roundtable

Is your observability practice keeping pace with non-deterministic systems?

Sponsored by:

Agents don’t just fail, they act unpredictably in ways traditional monitoring was never built to catch. Uptime and error rates prove a system is running, not that it’s doing what was intended. The real question isn’t whether our agents are functioning, but whether they are behaving.

In this roundtable, senior engineering leaders discuss what it takes to answer that harder question, and how to bring in the widening group of stakeholders that depend on the answer.

Discussion includes:

• The difference between measuring system health and business/customer impact, in systems that can behave unexpectedly rather than simply fail.
• How to build meaningful visibility into AI-powered systems where traditional monitoring assumptions break down
• How to make the case for observability investment to stakeholders, like product, security, and finance, who now have a stake in the answer alongside you

When things break: How to build incident responses that scales with your systems

Sponsored by:

A roundtable on how senior engineering leaders build incident response capability that holds up as systems scale – and ensure the organization can absorb failure without it becoming a business or reputational event.

As systems grow more complex and AI introduces new classes of unpredictability, the cost of a poorly handled incident is rising. Leaders need to build not just the process, but the organizational muscle to respond well under pressure.

Discussion includes:

• How to build an incident response capability that scales beyond the founding team and holds up under real pressure
• How to reduce the blast radius of incidents through better system design, ownership, and escalation models
• How to turn incidents into organizational learning without creating blame or slowing down delivery

Workshop

Translating up: Engineering advocacy for the C-suite

Sponsored by:

You know what needs to change. You see the technical opportunities clearly. But when you bring initiatives to executives, they hear “”risky change”” not “”controlled experiment.”” The result? Great ideas die in planning, technical debt compounds, and your team runs obsolete processes while competitors experiment their way forward.

The gap isn’t your technical competence—it’s translation. Executives operate in a different context with different constraints and accountabilities. They evaluate initiatives using frameworks like opportunity cost, customer impact, and risk management. Most staff+ engineers never learn to speak this language.

In this workshop, CircleCI pulls back the curtain on how executives actually evaluate technical initiatives. You’ll learn how to better communicate and leverage technical frameworks to shift perception from “”this sounds risky”” to “”this is a smart opportunity.”” Discover how to frame experimentation as hypothesis testing, turn one-way doors into two-way doors, and position engineering investments using the same frameworks executives use for any strategic decision.

You’ll leave with practical tools to drive better alignment between your engineering and the board so you can advocate for and focus on outcomes that drive the business forward.

You’ll learn how to better communicate and leverage technical frameworks to shift perception from “”this sounds risky”” to “”this is a smart opportunity.”” Discover how to frame experimentation as hypothesis testing, turn one-way doors into two-way doors, and position engineering investments using the same frameworks executives use for any strategic decision.

You’ll leave with practical tools to drive better alignment between your engineering and the board so you can advocate for and focus on outcomes that drive the business forward.

Workshop

Your newest engineering team doesn't write code

Sponsored by:

An interactive session where teams build and stress-test access models for real citizen-builder personas (i.e. a RevOps analyst who built a commission calculator against live Salesforce data). Curveball scenarios force each table to decide what data this person can reach, what they can change, and who says yes when they need more than they’ve been given. Tables leave with a working sense of boundaries that prevent shadow IT, and the things that quietly cause it.

Working backwards: A framework for mapping system invariants

Sponsored by:

It is hard to just sit down and start listing the invariants of a system. The work is full of uncertainty: you are reasoning about everything that could go wrong, and it is easy to doubt what you come up with. In this workshop, we’ll explore a technique that can give you a repeatable framework for understanding computer systems: working backwards.

Take the two things about a system that are usually known — where it starts and what a good ending looks like — and walk from the good ending back toward the start, talking through what could have gone wrong at each step and what had to be true for it not to. That conversation is a way of learning the shape of a system: how it works, what can go wrong, what needs testing, and what invariants it has to maintain.

All participants should arrive with an idea in mind for a system that they will be interviewed about by another participant as part of practicing “working backwards”.

Workshop

How to map, measure, and close the context gap between your AI spend and throughput

Sponsored by:

AI is in your engineering workflow. The token spend shows it, but the throughput doesn’t. The human is still very much in the loop. Most software teams can’t prove whether AI is actually helping, because the metrics they watch reward motion over delivery.

This is a context problem. The gains disappear between the feature branch and main because your agent doesn’t fully understand how your system works. It pushes code that breaks in production, and you spend the next sprint dealing with the thrash instead of working the review backlog or shipping the next feature.

In this workshop, we build the plan to move your org from scattered adoption to an AI development lifecycle, the ADLC, where AI is a dependable part of how your team ships.

First, we place your team on a map of eight AI context maturity levels, and you compare where you landed with the people around you. You’ll see the three walls that stop teams at each level, and which one is in front of you.

Second, you measure. We give you four delivery metrics that show where AI’s gains leak out before production, and you run them to set a baseline for one team already leaning in. Real numbers, on your own work, so you can tell whether a team has actually moved up a level or just spent more tokens.

Third, we map the path forward. We walk through what it takes to clear each bottleneck in order: good Q&A first, then stronger code review as more PRs go up, then reliable background agents for parallel work. You leave knowing which one to tackle next and how you’ll measure it.
The thread through all of it: none of this works without a context layer underneath. An agent with access to every source still can’t tell which one is right. That’s what turns tokens spent into work shipped.

You leave with your team’s place on the maturity model, a baseline you measured yourself, and a clear next step with the numbers to watch.

Live demo: Learn how Rootly coordinates humans and agents to investigate, run, and resolve incidents end-to-end

Sponsored by

AI is changing both sides of the reliability equation. It helps engineering teams ship more code faster, while creating more change, more unfamiliar code, and potentially more incidents for humans to absorb. In this live demo, we’ll show how Rootly brings AI into the response itself – helping responders interpret live signals, coordinate the right people, investigate what is happening, communicate clearly, and preserve the operational record. Attendees will see how AI-assisted incident response can increase an organization’s response capacity without adding more manual coordination or removing human judgment.
