Session: From Burnout to Breakthroughs: How GenAI Is Transforming Developer Workflows and Team Dynamics
As engineering teams face rising complexity, tight timelines, and ever-evolving systems, burnout has quietly become the cost of innovation. But what if AI could change that? In this session, I explore how Generative AI is redefining the developer experience — from automating repetitive work to unlocking creativity and collaboration.Drawing from my experience leading large-scale automation efforts at Amazon, including the creation of a GenAI-powered tool that reduced engineering toil by 87%, I’ll share how AI can transform not just productivity, but team dynamics, morale, and leadership culture. Attendees will gain insights into how to adopt GenAI responsibly — ensuring that automation enhances, not replaces, human creativity and ownership.
Key Takeaways
- Human + AI Collaboration — How GenAI can elevate, not replace, developer creativity and decision-making.
- Team Dynamics in the Age of AI — How automation reshapes communication, ownership, and culture.
- Practical Frameworks — Real-world strategies for integrating GenAI tools to reduce toil and prevent burnout.
