Ash Framework: Declarative Elixir Web Apps • Rebecca Le, Zach Daniel & C. Alexander • GOTO 2026

Rebecca Le and Zach Daniel, co-authors of the Ash Framework book, discuss how their Tunez-based guide was built to introduce concepts in the order a real project needs them, how writing it forced the addition of generator-based testing to Ash, and why Ash's extensibility, Cinder's rapid development, and AI-assisted onboarding make its steep but flattening learning curve worthwhile.

What do we build now? — Theo Browne, @t3dotgg

Theo Browne's keynote from AIEWF2026 urges software engineers to fundamentally change product development in response to rapidly evolving AI models (Sonnet 3.5 to Mythos). He advocates for rejecting legacy mental models and tools (skeuomorphism), embracing a new "Markdown tier" for projects, and thinking "wider" instead of just "deeper" by building extensible platforms that can challenge industry giants. The core message is to be more ambitious, as AI has drastically lowered the barrier to entry for complex, broad-reaching solutions.
