Where is Maldo? An LLM Adoption Journey for Software Engineers
by Jay D Haase | at Minnebar20 | 2:20 – 3:00 in Oregon | View Schedule
LLMs and agents are changing the ways we build and maintain software.
As a result, a skill becoming increasingly relevant is the ability to guide and govern LLMs and agents.
In this session I will share a set of LLM adoption levels, and what tends to show up at each level. My hope is that this gives software engineers a practical way to:
- see where they are today
- understand what it might look like to grow
- take the next step
This matters for us, and for those we lead. Understanding where our colleagues and direct reports are on that journey can help us create safer, wiser, and more effective ways of adopting these tools together.
