Lunch & Learn: Why System Design Is So Critical With AI and How to Learn It
Judgment is the scarce skill, you guard the one-way doors, and you learn it with Claude as a tutor. AI system design is reasoning about how a system behaves under load, scales, fails, and changes over time, which is the architectural judgment that counts more now that AI writes the code. It is the skill that separates juniors from operators. This discussion will focus on building those skills and leveraging them for proper system design. This is for software engineers typically with some production experience but could be of interest to emerging developers as well.
Byron Mackay - Director of Learning at Gauntlet AI, currently training hundreds of engineers to work AI-first. 16+ years as a mobile/iOS engineer before becoming an AI platform engineer (Savant, School AI), where he built eval platforms from scratch. Led curriculum development at BloomTech (a cohort of his saw nearly every graduate land an engineering role at Amazon) and ran the Amazon partnership/SDR program that moved non-traditional candidates into engineering roles at Amazon. Deep across platform engineering, AI, mobile, and learning.
