Have you read ETOOMANYTHINGS? Run Fewer Agents, the recent blog post by exe co-founder Josh? Everyone seems to be building software factories these days. More agents, more tasks running in parallel, more dashboards to keep track of everything. But is more actually better? The post sparked a fun discussion online, and we thought it would be even more fun to continue the conversation in person. Speakers Josh Bleecher Snyder, co-founder of exe Josh Wills, engineering at DatologyAI Beyang Liu, amplifying human agency at Amp, prev. founder of Sourcegraph This will also be our first "official" exe.dev meetup, and we'd love to meet you all! We'll have a few short, actually technical talks followed by an open Q&A and discussion. Come share your thoughts and hang out with other developers thinking about these problems. Food and drinks sponsored by our friends at Sentry.

Product-market fit with Rob Snyder 🍻 Rob Snyder spent two years struggling to find product-market fit. After a last-minute pivot, his startup went from $0 to $4M in annual recurring revenue in the next two years. If you’re doing demo after demo, following up endlessly and still struggling to close, how do you know whether to change your pitch, your product or who you’re selling to? Join Founders on Tap for a workshop with Rob Snyder, founder, product-market fit advisor and author of The Power of PULL. Using his push vs. pull framework, we’ll explore why some sales take constant convincing, how to find customers with a reason to buy now and how to build around what they’re already trying to accomplish. We’ll get into: Why someone can have a problem, like your solution and still never buy. How to spot real demand in customer conversations. What makes your product a priority instead of a “maybe later.” How to turn one customer’s success into something you can repeat. For founders looking for their first paying customers or wondering why every new sale still feels so hard. Bring your questions about your own startup for the Q&A, grab a drink and meet other founders figuring it out alongside you. About the speaker Rob Snyder is a founder, product-market fit advisor and author of The Power of PULL. He grew his first startup from $0 to $4M in annual recurring revenue in two years and developed the PULL framework to help founders understand what makes customers buy. His work focuses on finding real customer demand and using early sales to figure out what a startup can sell repeatedly. What should I expect? 6:30–7:00 PM Arrive, grab a drink and meet a few founders. 7:00–7:45 PM Workshop with Rob Snyder. 7:45–8:05 PM Q&A. Bring the questions you’re working through. 8:05–9:00 PM Stick around for more drinks and conversation. 🧠 About Founders on Tap Founders on Tap brings founders together for practical workshops in SF’s coolest spots. Each session goes deep on one useful to

AI agents are writing code, investigating incidents, and changing how infrastructure teams work. For SREs, that brings new questions about reliability: when to trust an agent, how to catch its mistakes, and who owns the outcome. Join leaders from Replit, NVIDIA, and WorkOS for a panel on how agents are changing the work of running production. We’ll explore practical experience, emerging approaches, and the engineering judgment that remains essential as teams delegate more work to AI. What we’ll discuss: Agents on-call: Using agents to triage alerts, gather context, and investigate incidents—and recognizing when an investigation is heading in the wrong direction. Infrastructure at a new pace: Adapting testing, code review, and deployment processes as agents increase the volume of code teams produce. Keeping humans accountable: Preserving architectural understanding and ownership when agents handle more of the implementation. The changing SRE role: How agent-driven workflows affect hiring, learning, and the skills reliability teams need next. The panel Michael Grinich - CEO and Founder at WorkOS Vishakha Sadhwani - Sr. Solutions Architect at NVIDIA Niall O’Higgins - Engineering Lead at Replit Sylvain Kalache (Moderator) - Head of AI Labs at Rootly AI Who Should Attend SREs & DevOps Engineers: Teams managing distributed cloud scale, high availability, and multi-nines uptime. MLOps & Platform Engineers: Engineers building inference pipelines, model serving platforms, and GPU orchestration layers. Incident Commanders & Ops Leads: Leaders guiding Sev-1 response playbooks, runbooks, and on-call practices. Technical Leaders (CTOs, VPs, Directors): Decision-makers balancing rapid AI deployment with platform stability and customer trust. Agenda Check-in & Networking: 5:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. Fireside Chat: 6:40 p.m. - 7:20 p.m. Audience Q&A: 7:20 p.m. - 7:35 p.m. Networking & Social Hour: 7:35 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. End: 8:30 p.m. About Rootly AI Rootly AI is the AI-native on-call and

As AI coding agents become more capable, who controls the future of software development? Join Renee Huang, CEO of Cline, and Sunil Joseph, VP of Customer Success at OpenRouter, for a thought-provoking conversation on open vs. closed ecosystems, model choice, developer autonomy, and where real differentiation lies as AI reshapes the way we build software. We'll explore: Open vs. closed ecosystems: Who wins, and why? Model choice: Why it matters for developers Developer autonomy: How it's evolving in the age of AI coding agents Competitive advantage: Where real differentiation will come from Expect fresh perspectives, thoughtful debate, and a room full of founders, engineers, researchers, and technical leaders shaping the next generation of AI products.

Build a Sovereign AI Model Factory: Create an ML Engineer Agent that evaluates, fine-tunes, deploys, and improves open models using Union.ai on your cloud. YOU MUST RSVP ON LUMA: https://luma.com/uyo6mgp7 ​The best AI teams aren't renting every capability from an external API, they're building systems they own and control. In this hands-on session at the AWS Loft, we'll build exactly that. ​We'll start with a walkthrough where we build a LangGraph-powered agent that evaluates open models in parallel, fine-tunes promising candidates, deploys the winner, and retrains automatically when performance drops. Think of it as the first brick in your own model factory: a repeatable system for evaluating, improving, and deploying models you control, not a black box you call and hope for the best. ​Along the way, you'll see how Union.ai gives your workflows a durable runtime with infrastructure as context, so agents adapt infra resources, recover from failures, and keep moving without re-running completed work. And because it all runs in your own AWS account, you own the full stack end to end: your models, your data, your infrastructure, your IP. ​Then we switch into hack night mode: keep building on the example, bring your own models or datasets, experiment with evals and fine-tuning, extend open models to different parts of your agent, or start something new around the same ideas. ​For teams thinking about sovereign AI, this is a practical starting point for owning more of your stack, the weights, the training loop, the evals, and the infrastructure it runs on, all on AWS. ​Bring a laptop. Leave with a model factory.

After Tokens The AI Economy Infrastructure Conference What happens after the model call? Tokens tell you what the model consumed. They don't tell you what a customer can use, when an agent should stop, or how a contract becomes a limit in your code. After Tokens is about the infrastructure that answers those questions: metering, credits, entitlements, pricing, billing, and the systems that keep them in sync. If you've had to meter an agent run, figure out what breaks when you move from tokens to credits, or check entitlements without slowing down the request, this day is for you. One day, in person, in San Francisco: technical talks, architecture breakdowns, and lessons from systems running in production, aimed at the people who write the code. Speakers Attendees from Topics Metering and usage data Credits, limits, and entitlements Pricing infrastructure Billing and contracts AI cost control Agent economics Usage systems at scale Moving beyond token pricing Who it's for Engineers building AI products and the systems behind them: backend, platform, and AI infrastructure teams, technical founders, and engineering leaders. When and where When: Tuesday, November 10, 2026, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM PT Where: Terra, Rincon Hill / SoMa, San Francisco, a short walk from Embarcadero BART and the Salesforce Transit Center Host: Stigg, infrastructure for the AI economy.
