AI workshop at VueConf US 2026, with Martin Rojas

Co-led an AI workshop with Martin Rojas at VueConf US 2026 at Georgia Tech this past Tuesday. The room was small and curious. Most attendees came from defense and government, and most weren’t asking can AI write my Vue components. They were asking the harder question: how do I raise the AI IQ of my org without breaking what already works?

That reframed the workshop for me. The frontier for these folks is organizational. Procurement, evaluation, the gap between a developer who’s been using these tools for a year and a director who has to authorize them. The technical bar to use AI keeps falling, while the institutional bar to adopt it inside a regulated org is where the real work is.

Fun to be on the receiving end of that question for a change.
