Why this topic matters
Everything is changing so fast, you don't know who will have the answer to your question. Instead of top-down learning, let's try sideways learning, where anybody can bring cool things and puzzles and learn from everybody else.
Here's how Lean Coffee works:
- Everyone adds topics.
- Everyone votes on topics
- Talk about #1 topic until the timer runs out
- Rinse and repeat

25 yrs in tech; helped teams modernize mainframes with LLMs
Jeremy Lightsmith cares about complexity. Across 25 years in tech he has stayed deeply technical while managing structural complexity not just in codebases but across teams and organizations — as a developer, consultant, agile/lean coach, startup founder/CEO, and now executive coach. Most recently he spent three years at Mechanical Orchard anchoring delivery teams and building tools as they used LLMs to modernize mainframes for Fortune 500 clients. Today he helps senior leaders manage new forms of complexity, navigate accelerating change, and rebuild trust as engineering loops are rewritten.
