Changing Power Dynamics: What Senior Engineers Can Learn from Junior Engineers

Beth Anderson discusses the "power distance index" and its critical role in communication. Using the Korean Air Flight 801 tragedy as a case study, she explains the dangers of hierarchy-driven silence. She shares actionable frameworks for building the four stages of psychological safety, implementing reverse mentoring, and using PRs as tools for knowledge sharing rather than gatekeeping.

Fix SLO Breaches before They Repeat: an SRE AI Agent for Application Workloads

Bruno Borges discusses a paradigm shift in performance management: moving from manual tuning to automated SRE agents. He explains how to leverage the USE and jPDM methodologies alongside LLMs to reduce MTTR from hours to seconds. By utilizing MCP tools for real-time diagnostics and memory dump analysis, he shares how engineering leaders can scale systems while meeting strict objectives.

Summary

Antoni Batchelli discusses building an automated infrastructure in Clojure.

Bio

Antoni Batchelli started Disclojure ( http://disclojure.org ), a website devoted to news about Clojure. In 2009, Toni met Hugo Duncan, with whom he has since them been working full time on Pallet ( http://palletops.com ), an Open Source, Clojure-based DevOps platform, and VMFest, a Virtual Machine automation library.

About the conference

Clojure/West is the newest conference creation from Alex Miller (aka @puredanger). Alex has been running the Strange Loop conference in St. Louis since 2009, smashing together the worlds of functional and dynamic programming languages, concurrency, distributed systems, web and mobile. Since early 2010, Alex has also been part of a team using Clojure at Revelytix.
