SUMMARY:Tech + Tequila Talk: AI\, Bottlenecks\, and the Theory of Constraints
DESCRIPTION:Register Here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ai-bottlenecks-and-the-theory-of-constraints-tickets-2002480097878?aff=ebdsoporgprofile \nAI can speed up coding\, but what happens when the bottleneck moves? Explore smarter software delivery with Alan Vargas of GitLab. \n\n\n\n\nAI can make teams dramatically faster at producing code. But if review\, testing\, security\, approvals\, or deployment can’t keep up\, faster development doesn’t necessarily mean faster delivery. \nBlue People presents another Tech + Tequila Talk\, featuring Alan Vargas\, Account Executive at GitLab\, for a conversation on what happens when AI accelerates one part of the software delivery system while the real constraint simply moves somewhere else. \nUsing Goldratt’s Theory of Constraints as the lens\, Alan will explore why optimizing individual steps isn’t enough. and how teams can focus instead on improving the flow from idea to production. \nWhat we’ll explore: \n\nFind the Real Constraint: Identify the bottleneck limiting the system\, not just the problem that gets the most attention.\nStop Optimizing in Isolation: Understand why producing more code can create bigger queues downstream.\nImprove the Flow: Look beyond coding speed to review\, testing\, security\, approvals\, and deployment.\nAutomate With Purpose: Use automation to support the constraint instead of adding more pressure to it.\nMeasure What Matters: Focus on trusted changes shipped rather than lines of code generated.\n\nThe goal isn’t more software for the sake of more software. It’s a system that delivers more value with less waiting\, rework\, and risk. \n📅 October 6 | 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM\n📍 The Ion Houston \nThe tequila is on us. Hosted by Blue People.
