chunk 0 · 0:14–0:59 · 134 words · 714 chars
0:14 Hey folks, we are starting a little bit early as we are at capacity.
0:18 So thank you all for showing up.
0:19 My name is Chris Noring.
0:21 My daytime job is at Microsoft, where I work a lot with AI engineering.
0:27 Right, so this session is called From Writing Code to Designing Systems.
0:31 So show of hands, how many of you are coding like you normally do?
0:37 Not many hands, right?
0:38 So most of you, I think, have shifted into more of a systems approach, right?
0:42 So maybe I'm talking to people who have already done the shift.
chunk 1 · 0:48–1:33 · 148 words · 795 chars
0:48 That's not always the case, by the way.
0:50 So sometimes when you go out at conferences, people are like, I'm hacking away.
0:54 I've tried Claude.
0:55 I've tried Copilot.
0:57 Interesting.
0:57 How many are using Claude, by the way?
0:59 No judgment.
1:00 How many are using Copilot?
1:03 Okay, half and half, maybe more Claude, that's fine.
1:06 We are very good friends of Claude, I should say that.
1:08 We are even showing up at events together, so Anthropic, good stuff.
1:13 So what I mean to tell you today is maybe tell you a story that you already know.
1:17 You know that your world has changed.
chunk 2 · 1:19–1:59 · 129 words · 683 chars
1:19 You know that in the old days, 100% on keyboard, and you might still be on the keyboard.
1:24 You just do different things with your time.
1:27 But we all knew that we were the limitation, right?
1:30 We were brilliant engineers.
1:32 We did 100% of the code, but...
1:34 linear progress.
1:35 It was just you trying to advance things.
1:37 It was up to you whether a feature was being built or not.
1:41 And sometimes you had to choose a scenario where, well, I don't have time to build this feature because I'm doing this over here.
1:48 That's no longer a limitation.
chunk 3 · 1:50–2:29 · 113 words · 593 chars
1:50 So what's happening?
1:52 I think most of you still have a job, right?
1:54 So you know that your job didn't disappear.
1:57 you know that your center of gravity has moved.
1:59 So you are no longer 100% developers, but you are now in a different position, which some people might argue.
2:06 I mean, many of us, I think, have chosen our profession because we love coding, right?
2:12 Right?
2:13 I think so.
2:14 So to some extent, we're still writing code.
2:17 We just are very, very precious with our time what we write, right?
chunk 4 · 2:21–3:05 · 153 words · 749 chars
2:21 Because we now have so many helpers, but
2:24 Many of you have heard the term AI slope, right?
2:28 I see nods here.
2:29 So you understand in the early days of these AI tools, you were like, oh my God, I can't believe it produced this kind of code.
2:35 It gives me more work than before.
2:37 I had to rewrite all that code.
2:39 But now we're coming into a place where guardrails is a big thing of our existence.
2:44 So you are stuck with an AI tool.
