APIs are shaped by teams. But what happens when teams are shaped by AI?
Conway’s Law famously says that software mirrors the communication structures of the teams that build it. But in a world of generative AI, autonomous agents, and increasingly API-first systems—how does that law hold up?
What we cover:
AI-Augmented Architectures – how generative tools influence team structures and API design
System Boundaries – when Conway’s Law helps… and when it hurts
Org Design for AI Era – how to align communication, ownership, and automation
APIs as Interfaces for AI – what happens when your consumers are not humans
Emergent Behavior & Complexity – the risks and rewards of AI-driven development patterns
We’re not just talking theory—we’re asking how engineering culture must evolve when your code isn’t only written by developers anymore.
If you’re building APIs, platform infrastructure, or just rethinking how your teams work in the age of AI, don’t miss this conversation.
We’d love to hear your thoughts:
How has AI changed the way your team communicates and builds?

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
