Check out some of the cool work I and my teams have been doing.

[Google AI @GoogleAI]

Maintaining a code base to keep up with changing language versions, framework updates, & data types is challenging. Here we describe our AI-driven approach to assist developers in code migrations, so they can focus on details, not get lost in the process. https://t.co/niXvo0NnJk

This is the first AI I have really "lived with" as an engineer.

While github's copilot feels occasionally magical given vague starting points, Google's AI autocomplete consistently finishes my sentences for almost every line I write.

It's boring, but in a really magical way.

Some of the work me and my teams have been developing:

ML assisted coding is helping thousands of Google software engineers.

"We see a 6% reduction in coding iteration time (time between builds and tests) [vs. control]" &

"Currently, 3% of new code (measured in characters) is now generated from accepting ML completion suggestions."

Are you curious about the new Minecraft UI we've building at @Mojang?

On the 25th I'll do a talk at @ReactAdvanced about how we are using Web Standards, React and @CoherentLabs Gameface to build the new UI for Minecraft. 👀

I'm so happy and excited to see my friend and co-founder in @CoherentLabs @DimitarNT being recognized as one of the top 100 most influential people in IT in BG. https://t.co/JKMWz3i3qM

[Stoyan Nikolov @stoyannk]

@viebel Hey, interesting talk. There are definitely parallels and in my experience DoD does reduce complexity if it's still thought through. Do you have some production examples of applying the principles you mention?

[Stoyan Nikolov @stoyannk]

@Alekssasho @ChaosGroup Congrats Sasho, exciting!

[Dan Na @dxna]

A few people have reached out to me for my thoughts on moving from the IC -> Management track, especially since I've bounced back and forth. I took some time to write down my thoughts.

I have an open position on my team, looking for an engineering manager (domain: internal developer tools / IDE). Is there anyone you would recommend? For Google, in Munich, Germany.

[Phil Spencer @XboxP3]

Usually keep all things Xbox on here but congrats to @Tool on #FearInoculum . Been waiting 13 years for this and it's an amazing piece of work.

Homeworld 3 has been announced. https://t.co/1vpQRfKlku

@KageKirin @CasualEffects Oh, that's so cool. HB was renamed to Gameface last year. Definitely try it out with your team :)

[Stoyan Nikolov @stoyannk]

@mike_acton That's a great idea. I think I have a couple of interesting cases.

[Stoyan Nikolov @stoyannk]

@ciura_victor Thanks! I'll be joining some awesome teams at Google in a couple of weeks.

[Stoyan Nikolov @stoyannk]

Yesterday was my last day in an operative role at Coherent Labs. Thank you everybody - my co-founders, teams and investors who have always been there for me - these were 7 amazing years and we changed an industry. New adventures await :)
