[Happy Hour] Ship fast, stay sharp: quality in the AI era

Engineering leaders are being asked for two things that usually pull against each other: ship faster, and ship cleaner. AI has made the first part easier. The second part is where teams are still finding out about problems from their users instead of their tooling.

Join unitQ and ELC for drinks and an evening with engineering leaders working through the same tension. No slides, no panel, no programming — just a room of peers who’ve shipped enough to have opinions about what’s working and what isn’t.

What you’ll talk about:

Where quality signals are actually breaking down between release and user

What AI has genuinely changed in triage and root cause, and what it hasn’t

How teams are deciding what to fix first when everything looks urgent

The reporting gap: dashboards that look healthy while users say otherwise

Space is limited and attendance is by invitation.
