- Heidi Porter on building reliable AI-augmented workflows with the right tools, evaluations, and guardrails.

- Chris Shinkle and Andrew Dunlap (SEP) on how software teams can calibrate the right level of AI autonomy based on goals, constraints, and verification needs, with lessons from teams building software with AI.
Also announced: Chris's upcoming book The Art of Swarming on autonomous agentic UxS swarms.
