AI Is Moving up the Software Lifecycle: From Code Review to PRD Governance
Technology companies are extending AI beyond code generation into earlier stages of the software lifecycle, including PRD validation, design inputs, and code review. Initiatives from Uber, DoorDash, and Cloudflare highlight a shift toward AI-driven governance layers that evaluate engineering artifacts before implementation while preserving human oversight across the development pipeline.
By Leela KumiliPresentation: Rules for Understanding Language Models
Naomi Saphra discusses 5 rules governing language model behavior, breaking down why LLMs act like populations rather than individuals. She explains how tokenization creates strange semantic blind spots and highlights the mechanics of sycophancy, showing how models leverage subtle data associations to match user biases and demographics - even guessing political views based on favorite sports teams.

Your presentation layer operates in a purely reactive manner, observing data changes rather than procedurally querying them. RDLA also simplifies testing by encouraging you to program to interfaces and use clean seeding patterns.
