DYK? 💡 72% of developers revise nearly half of their #AI-generated code. That means testing is more critical than ever. To fully realize the potential of AI-driven development, you need AI-infused QA, a la #AgenticTesting. Learn more in the report: http://spr.ly/60457Fx4x

We’re helping a robotics team scale from “working prototype” → real-world deployment. They already have robots operating outside the lab. Now they need the engineers who make systems survive production. We’re #hiring multiple firmware engineers (senior + principal level) to work on: • Embedded systems running continuously in the field • Reliability, fault handling, and recovery, not just happy-path behavior • Hardware bring-up, debugging, and performance tuning • Sensors, actuators, and real-time communication • Closing the loop between field data → iteration → improved uptime This is not a research role. This is not a simulation-only role. This is for engineers who care about: keeping systems alive diagnosing failures fast and shipping updates that actually improve operations The environment is hands-on, multidisciplinary, and deployment-focused — the kind of place where firmware decisions directly impact real-world productivity every day. If you enjoy debugging issues that only happen at 2am in the field more than writing slides about architecture… you’ll probably like this. DM me or Varunn V. if you want details.

AI with Boundaries: A New Era of Responsible Interaction -- power to hung up  in rare, extreme cases Claude Opus 4.1 now has the ability to end conversations in rare, extreme cases of persistent abuse or harmful requests. Why does this matter? ✅ It’s a bold step toward AI alignment and digital ethics. ✅ It shows how AI can be designed to respect boundaries—just like humans should. ✅ It opens up conversations about AI welfare, not just user safety. This isn’t about limiting freedom—it’s about building trustworthy AI that knows when to walk away. Kudos to the teams pushing the envelope on responsible AI. Curious to hear what others in tech and talent think: https://lnkd.in/gzwXNNvJ 👉 Should more AI tools have this kind of self-protective feature? #AIethics #ClaudeAI #TechForGood #AIalignment #FutureOfWork

New York Meetup 🗽 It Worked on My Laptop: Agents in Production Unlike traditional software, you don't know what your agent will do until it's in production. This means that production monitoring for agents requires different capabilities than traditional observability. Agents operate differently. Robert Xu, Deployed Engineer at LangChain, will walk us through why agent observability has distinct challenges, what you need to monitor, and what we've learned from teams deploying agents at scale. March 24 | 6 PM | NYC (Flatiron) RSVP: https://luma.com/g55ktjw7

I had the pleasure of chatting with Kwabena Agyeman, co-founder of Open MV, about how they’re bringing advanced computer vision to microcontrollers, a field once considered impossible. Kwabena shared the story of how Open MV went from a side project to a game-changing platform, starting with bootstrapping in 2015 and now delivering products like the OpenMVCAM AE3 and N6. These devices pack a 600 billion instructions per second neural net accelerator into a tiny form factor. 💡 Key Takeaways: ✅ Microcontrollers, not application processors: Think tiny, low-power, heat-efficient devices that can run on batteries for years. ✅ MicroPython for easier coding, making it accessible for a new wave of Python developers. ✅ Real-world applications, from smart door locks with facial recognition (think year-long battery life) to industrial monitoring and automated event reading. ✅ No big Linux footprint, bare-metal firmware with MicroPython layered on top, bringing Python’s power to the embedded world. We also dove deep into topics like: Why C & C++ still matter for performance The potential of ML in future IoT applications The balance of privacy, power, and convenience in embedded AI The trade-offs of not recording video for battery life and security Kwabena’s passion for embedded systems is inspiring, and his insights highlight why this niche space is so important for the future of AI at the edge. 🔗 Watch the full video here: https://lnkd.in/gBF-ENwU I’d love to hear what you think about the intersection of embedded engineering and machine learning, and if you’re exploring similar applications in your projects!

🎯 While open source speeds up development, there are license risks involved. When one GPL-licensed library infiltrates your proprietary code, it can cause legal and compliance issues. 📦 Incorporate your X-ray vision into each package and license within your software by introducing SBOMs (Software Bills of Materials). In this blog, we explore: ✅ The importance of license compliance ✅ How SBOMs assist in enforcing it ✅ How to automate license checks with tools like vet Read the blog: https://lnkd.in/dqpvzzGH #SBOM #license #opensource #developertool #security
