In this special episode of Associations Thrive, host Joanna Pineda is joined by colleagues from Matrix Group International, Inc.: Dave Hoernig, Vice President of Software Engineering, Jessica Parsley, Director of Project Management, and Alex Pineda, Creative Director. They look back on the trends they're seeing in the association space. They discuss:How AI dominated 2025, with associations investing heavily in staff training, internal policies, and custom GPTs to boost content production and streamline workflows.The AI tools that helped Matrix Group clients modernize outdated content by converting PDFs to HTML, summarizing large documents, and creating metadata and schema for better discoverability.Why associations wrestled with how much previously gated content to expose for AI indexing, balancing member-only value with public visibility and relevance in AI search results.“About the Industry” storytelling sections of a website becoming a trend, with associations crafting narratives to spotlight the importance of their fields not just to members, but to the public and policymakers.How clients faced tighter budgets in 2025, making incremental updates and data-driven decisions more important than ever.The notable rise of multimedia content, with podcasts and audio read-alouds replacing and supplementing long-form text to meet member preferences and improve accessibility.How personalization is becoming easier with AI and how associations can now deliver customized recommendations for members, modeled after platforms like Netflix or Duolingo.How AI is revolutionizing design and development, with tools that boost creativity, accelerate prototyping, and reduce tedious manual work.How mobile-first and voice-enabled experiences are expected to surge, especially as younger members rely more on phones and smart speakers for web interaction.References:Matrix Group WebsiteSee how TFI tells the story of the industry.We made a few tweaks to the ALDA website in advance of a larger redesign in the future.

Max and Luniel co-authors of the book - "Ready: Why Most Software Projects Fail and How to Fix It", discuss the concept of Readiness in software engineering with host Brijesh Ammanath. While Agile workflows and technical practices help delivery, many software efforts still struggle to achieve desired outcomes. Rework, shifting requirements, delays, defects, and mounting technical debt plague software delivery and impede or altogether halt progress toward goals. The problem is often that implementation begins prematurely, before the team is properly set up for success. A strict system of explicit readiness work and gating, called Requirements Maturation Flow (RMF), solves this problem in a SDLC-independent way. Teams that have adopted RMF dramatically improve progress toward real goals while reducing stress on engineering teams. In this podcast, Max and Luniel deep dive into Requirements Maturation Flow (RMF) and explain its foundational pillars. Objective - Understand why most software projects fail, what causes rework, under-delivery and delays. What is Requirements Maturation Flow and its 3 foundational practices? Understanding the value of having Readiness as a explicit work item Understanding Definition of Done Understanding Definition of Ready Brought to you by IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Software magazine.

The discussion with Kief Morris explores the practical definition of DevOps as efficient software delivery methodology, the relationship between infrastructure as code and application orchestration tools, the necessity of frameworks over custom wrapper scripts, and emerging paradigms including infrastructure from code, infrastructure as graph models, and interactive runbooks.Jim emphasizes that while new approaches are interesting, maturity and standardization in existing tools often provides more value than constantly chasing new technologies.RECOMMENDED BOOKSYevgeniy Brikman • Fundamentals of DevOps and Software Delivery • https://amzn.to/3WMPMFUYevgeniy Brikman • Terraform: Up and Running • https://amzn.to/4otpxQLYevgeniy Brikman • Hello, Startup • https://amzn.to/3JmV0VRKief Morris • Infrastructure as Code • https://amzn.to/4e6EBQcMauricio Salatino • Platform Engineering on Kubernetes • https://amzn.to/3X14qZKCharity Majors, Liz Fong-Jones & George Miranda • Observability Engineering • https://amzn.to/38scbmaBlueskyTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookCHANNEL MEMBERSHIP BONUSJoin this channel to get early access to videos & other perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs_tLP3AiwYKwdUHpltJPuA/joinLooking for a unique learning experience?Attend the next GOTO conference near you!

As AI adoption accelerates across the software industry, engineering leaders are increasingly focused on a harder question: how to understand whether these tools are actually improving developer experience and organizational outcomes.In this year-end episode of the Engineering Enablement podcast, host Laura Tacho is joined by Brian Houck from Microsoft, Collin Green and Ciera Jaspan from Google, and Eirini Kalliamvakou from GitHub to examine what 2025 research reveals about AI impact in engineering teams. The panel discusses why measuring AI's effectiveness is inherently complex, why familiar metrics like lines of code continue to resurface despite their limitations, and how multidimensional frameworks such as SPACE and DORA provide a more accurate view of developer productivity.The conversation also looks ahead to 2026, exploring how AI is beginning to reshape the role of the developer, how junior engineers' skill sets may evolve, where agentic workflows are emerging, and why some widely shared AI studies were misunderstood. Together, the panel offers a grounded perspective on moving beyond hype toward more thoughtful, evidence-based AI adoption.Where to find Brian Houck:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianhouck/ • Website: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/people/bhouck/ Where to find Collin Green: • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/collin-green-97720378 • Website: https://research.google/people/107023Where to find Ciera Jaspan: • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ciera • Website: https://research.google/people/cierajaspan/Where to find Eirini Kalliamvakou: • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eirini-kalliamvakou-1016865/• X: https://x.com/irina_kAl • Website: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/people/eikalliWhere to find Laura Tacho: • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauratacho/• X: https://x.com/rhein_wein• Website: https://lauratacho.com/• Laura's course (Measuring Engineering Performance and AI Impact) https://lauratacho.com/developer-productivity-metrics-courseIn this episode, we cover:(00:00) Intro(02:35) Introducing the panel and the focus of the discussion(04:43) Why measuring AI's impact is such a hard problem(05:30) How Microsoft approaches AI impact measurement(06:40) How Google thinks about measuring AI impact(07:28) GitHub's perspective on measurement and insights from the DORA report(10:35) Why lines of code is a misleading metric(14:27) The limitations of measuring the percentage of code generated by AI(18:24) GitHub's research on how AI is shaping the identity of the developer(21:39) How AI may change junior engineers' skill sets(24:42) Google's research on using AI and creativity (26:24) High-leverage AI use cases that improve developer experience(32:38) Open research questions for AI and developer productivity in 2026(35:33) How leading organizations approach change and agentic workflows(38:02) Why the METR paper resonated and how it was misunderstoodReferenced:• Measuring AI code assistants and agents• Kiro• Claude Code - AI coding agent for terminal & IDE• SPACE framework: a quick primer• DORA | State of AI-assisted Software Development 2025• Martin Fowler - by Gergely Orosz - The Pragmatic Engineer• Seamful AI for Creative Software Engineering: Use in Software Development Workflows | IEEE Journals & Magazine | IEEE Xplore• AI Where It Matters: Where, Why, and How Developers Want AI Support in Daily Work - Microsoft Research• Unpacking METR's findings: Does AI slow developers down?• DX Annual 2026

Xmas Special: Software Industry Transformation - Why Software Development Must Mature Welcome to the 2025 Xmas special - a five-episode deep dive into how software as an industry needs to transform. In this opening episode, we explore the fundamental disconnect between how we manage software and what software actually is. From small businesses to global infrastructure, software has become the backbone of modern society, yet we continue to manage it with tools designed for building ships in the 1800s. This episode sets the stage for understanding why software development must evolve into a mature discipline. Software Runs Everything Now "Without any single piece, I couldn't operate - and I'm tiny. Scale this reality up: software isn't just in tech companies anymore." Even the smallest businesses today run entirely on software infrastructure. A small consulting and media business depends on WordPress for websites, Kajabi for courses, Stripe for payments, Quaderno for accounting, plus email, calendar, CRM systems, and AI assistants for content creation. The challenge? We're managing this critical infrastructure with tools designed for building physical structures with fixed requirements - an approach that fundamentally misunderstands what software is and how it evolves. This disconnect has to change. The Oscillation Between Technology and Process "AI amplifies our ability to create software, but doesn't solve the fundamental process problems of maintaining, evolving, and enhancing that software over its lifetime." Software improvement follows a predictable pattern: technology leaps forward, then processes must adapt to manage the new complexity. In the 1960s-70s, we moved from machine code to COBOL and Fortran, which was revolutionary but led to the "software crisis" when we couldn't manage the resulting complexity. This eventually drove us toward structured programming and object-oriented programming as process responses, which, in turn, resulted in technology changes! Today, AI tools like GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and Claude make writing code absurdly easy - but writing code was never the hard part. Robert Glass documents in "Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering" that maintenance typically consumes between 40 and 80 percent of software costs, making "maintenance" probably the most important life cycle phase. We're overdue for a process evolution that addresses the real challenge: maintaining, evolving, and enhancing software over its lifetime. Software Creates An Expanding Possibility Space "If they'd treated it like a construction project ('ship v1.0 and we're done'), it would never have reached that value." Traditional project management assumes fixed scope, known solutions, and a definable "done" state. The Sydney Opera House exemplifies this: designed in 1957, completed in 1973, ten times over budget, with the architect resigning - but once built, it stands with "minimal" (compared to initial cost) maintenance. Software operates fundamentally differently. Slack started as an internal tool for a failed gaming company called Glitch in 2013. When the game failed, they noticed their communication tool was special and pivoted entirely. After launching in 2014, Slack continuously evolved based on user feedback: adding threads in 2017, calls in 2016, workflow builder in 2019, and Canvas in 2023. Each addition changed what was possible in organizational communication. In 2021, Salesforce acquired Slack for $27.7 billion precisely because it kept evolving with user needs. The key difference is that software creates possibility space that didn't exist before, and that space keeps expanding through continuous evolution. Software Is Societal Infrastructure "This wasn't a cyber attack - it was a software update gone wrong." Software has become essential societal infrastructure, not optional and not just for tech companies. In July 2024, a faulty software update from cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike crashed 8.5 million Windows computers globally. Airlines grounded flights, hospitals canceled surgeries, banks couldn't process transactions, and 911 services went down. The global cost exceeded $10 billion. This wasn't an attack - it was a routine update that failed catastrophically. AWS outages in 2021 and 2023 took down major portions of the internet, stopping Netflix, Disney+, Robinhood, and Ring doorbells from working. CloudFlare outages similarly cascaded across daily-use services. When software fails, society fails. We cannot keep managing something this critical with tools designed for building physical things with fixed requirements. Project management was brilliant for its era, but that era isn't this one. The Path Ahead: Four Critical Challenges "The software industry doesn't just need better tools - it needs to become a mature discipline." This five-episode series will address how we mature as an industry by facing four critical challenges: Episode 2: The Project Management Trap - Why we think in terms of projects, dates, scope, and "done" when software is never done, and how this mindset prevents us from treating software as a living capability Episode 3: What's Already Working - The better approaches we've already discovered, including iterative delivery, feedback loops, and continuous improvement, with real examples of companies doing this well Episode 4: The Organizational Immune System - Why better approaches aren't universal, how organizations unconsciously resist what would help them, and the hidden forces preventing adoption Episode 5: Software-Native Organizations - What it means to truly be a software-native organization, transforming how the business thinks, not just using agile on teams Software is too important to our society to keep getting it wrong. We have much of the knowledge we need - the challenge is adoption and evolution. Over the next four episodes, we'll build this case together, starting with understanding why we keep falling into the same trap. References For Further Reading Glass, Robert L.

Swarupa Mahambrey, Vice President of Software Engineering at The College Board, breaks down what tech debt really looks like in a mission critical environment, and how an engineering mindset can prevent it from quietly choking delivery. She shares a practical operating model for paying down debt without stopping the roadmap, and the cultural habits that make it stick.You will hear how College Board carved out durable space for engineering excellence, how they use testing and automation to protect reliability at scale, and how to make the trade offs between features, simplicity, and user experience without slowing the team to a crawl.Key Takeaways• Tech debt behaves like financial debt, delay the payment and the interest compounds until even simple changes become painful• A permanent allocation of capacity can work, dedicating 20 percent of every sprint to tech debt can reduce support load and improve delivery• Shipping more features can slow you down, simplifying workflows and validating with real usage can increase velocity and reduce tickets• Resilience is not about avoiding every failure, it is about designing for graceful degradation so spikes and outages become small blips instead of crises• Automation is not “extra,” it is part of the definition of done, including unit tests as acceptance criteria and clear code coverage expectationsTimestamped Highlights• 00:00 Why tech debt is a mindset problem, not just a backlog problem• 01:00 Tech debt explained with a real example, what happens when a proof of concept becomes production• 03:45 The feature trap, how “powerful” workflows can overwhelm users and explode maintenance costs• 11:03 Engineering Tuesday, one day a week to strengthen foundations, not ship features• 14:39 Stability vs resilience, designing systems that bend instead of shatter• 20:06 Testing and automation at scale, unit tests as a requirement and code coverage guardrailsA line worth keeping“If we don't intentionally carve out space for engineering excellence, the urgent will always crowd out the important.”Practical moves you can steal• Protect a fixed slice of capacity for tech debt, make it part of the operating model, not a one time cleanup• Treat automation as acceptance criteria, no test, no merge, no release• Use pilots and targeted releases to learn early, then iterate based on metrics and real user behavior• Design for graceful degradation with retries, fallback paths, and clear failure visibilityCall to actionIf this episode helped you think differently about tech debt and engineering culture, follow The Tech Trek, leave a quick rating, and share it with one engineer who is fighting fires right now.
