Speaking at MLOps Summit 2024
Introducing Codebase Context

I'm excited to announce that I'll be presenting at the 5th Annual MLOps Summit in the Community Corner! Over 500 AI teams will be flying into Austin for this. This is a fantastic opportunity to share a project I'm deeply passionate about: the Codebase Context Specification.

Why MLOps Summit Matters
The MLOps Summit has become a cornerstone event in the machine learning operations community. Now in its fifth year, it brings together practitioners, thought leaders, and innovators who are shaping how we deploy and manage AI systems at scale. Being selected to present in the Community Corner is an honor.
Bridging the Gap Between AI and Codebases
My talk, "Codebase Context Specification: explain your codebase to your AI dev-tool," addresses a critical challenge in the AI-assisted development landscape. As AI coding assistants become increasingly prevalent in our development workflows, we face a persistent challenge: these AI systems often lack crucial context about our codebases.
Think about it - how many times have you had to repeatedly explain your project's architecture, conventions, or business logic to an AI assistant? It's like having a brilliant but forgetful colleague who needs constant reminding about your project's fundamentals.
The Solution: Standardized Context
The Codebase Context Specification provides a standardized way to embed rich contextual information directly into your codebase. It's similar to how .env files manage environment variables or how .editorconfig ensures consistent coding styles. By adopting this convention, teams can ensure that both human developers and AI assistants have access to crucial contextual information.
What You'll Learn
In my 10-minute Community Corner presentation, I'll cover:
The current challenges in AI-assisted development
How the Codebase Context Specification works
The impact on development workflow and team productivity
How you can start using it today
Join Me There
If you're attending the MLOps Summit, I'd love to connect! My presentation will be in the Community Corner, and I'll be around throughout the event to discuss the Codebase Context Specification and hear your thoughts on improving AI-human collaboration in development.
