This session explores three areas I’ve been spending a lot of time with recently: measuring performance, managing technical debt, and AI-assisted development. While they may seem unrelated at first, they all connect back to something FileMaker has enabled for decades — rapid iteration and the ability to continually evolve what we build.

Today, AI-assisted workflows and “vibe coding” are accelerating that capability even further, creating both exciting opportunities and important new challenges.

Part practical session and part open discussion, I’ll share experiments, observations, and lessons learned from current projects, while also exploring the broader implications for our community, our workflows, and the future of software development itself.
