Things are moving fast. Like, really fast.

Structured planning and predictable delivery are giving way to AI-first development, rapid experiments, and a strong bias toward shipping. Sometimes the atmosphere feels really absurd - quick, quick, before we realise it doesn’t make any sense.

This talk is a personal story about stepping into that pace, about becoming speed. It traces a shift from a Scandinavian engineering culture - calm, consensus-driven, deliberate - to a US-based environment where speed is expected and decisions happen quickly. At the same time, teams began building with LLMs and agents almost overnight and developers with no prior experience were integrating AI into real products under real deadlines.

This shift, delivery bias, shows up in everyday work: learning new tools directly in production, making calls with incomplete information, redefining what “good enough” means, and adjusting to a constant sense of motion. Quality doesn’t disappear, but it’s achieved differently, ambiguity becomes new normal and momentum becomes part of the culture. Or the culture itself.

This session shares what felt uncomfortable, what unexpectedly worked, and why high velocity can be energising rather than chaotic when paired with trust and strong engineering judgment.
