What happens after coding is solved? | Fiona Fung (Manager of the Claude Code and Cowork Teams)
Q: How should planning evolve in a fast-changing landscape?
Move to just-in-time planning with monthly cycles and weekly check-ins, focus on themes while remaining adaptable as the landscape shifts, and continuously automate planning where possible.
What happens after coding is solved? | Fiona Fung (Manager of the Claude Code and Cowork Teams)
Q: What is the role of a manager in this new environment?
Managers must stay connected to the product by using it themselves, do maker time through PRs, pair programming, and hackathons, and foster an IC-first culture that still supports team collaboration and rapid iteration.
What happens after coding is solved? | Fiona Fung (Manager of the Claude Code and Cowork Teams)
Q: How do you balance speed with quality and impact?
Invest in proactive quality, early detection, and context-aware dashboards with a framework for bad and sad experiences, plus tests and evals that stay aligned with real outcomes rather than raw activity.
What happens after coding is solved? | Fiona Fung (Manager of the Claude Code and Cowork Teams)
Q: What does an AI-pilled software team look like in 2026?
Teams become builder-centric across disciplines, with Claude Code driving asynchronous workflows, broader participation in code reviews, and a culture of experimentation and continuous learning, while maintaining strong verification to ensure quality at speed.
Why we’re at the beginning of the AI hardware boom | Caitlin Kalinowski (ex–OpenAI, Meta, Apple)
Q: What are the biggest challenges in hardware right now and how should teams think about them?
Key challenges include supply chain reliability, memory and silicon availability, actuators, and the need to plan upfront goals and stay disciplined about changes. She emphasizes prototyping with off-the-shelf parts initially, prioritizing hardest components first, and designing for mass production from the start.
