Director+: Netlify CTO shares how to use AI to create a "sci-fi" DX

The future of AI-assisted development is so greenfield it’s neon-green, says Dana Lawson, CTO of Netlify. Excited to share that the debut edition of the Director+ series is out! You can read the full story here. In short, "it’s some science fiction shit."

For this first edition, I had a blast syncing with Dana about what it's like adopting AI in practice within software development teams. She shared very actionable advice, from establishing a baseline to determining solvable developer experience problems, mitigating risks, and overcoming cultural sigma. To her, understanding how to use this tech responsibly is important to future-proof your stack and team.
