Building products that actually work is what drives technologists

Building products that actually work is what drives technologists

Building products that actually work is what drives technologists

We loved listening to Sapana Patel, CIO at Spirit Airlines, talk about her team and what actually motivates people in tech.

She describes technologists as builders at heart. People who like to design, experiment, and then see their work come to life in real systems.

Motivation isnโ€™t abstract: Itโ€™s seeing products work, help users, and create real impact, whether thatโ€™s growth or efficiency for the business.

Hardware Freedom in an AI Dominated World, Mitch Altman, #FOSSASIA Summit 2026 #Hardware

AI is transforming hardware and software development, but it does not replace the need for people who understand technology and the real worldโ€”it increases that need. Just as calculators made math faster but still required human judgment, AI can generate answers that sound convincing while still being wrong.

In this talk, we explore how AI can be used responsibly in open hardware, open source, and maker communities. Can AI help accelerate hardware design, troubleshooting, documentation, and innovation? Can hackerspaces and open communities use AI to empower more people instead of centralizing control in large corporations?

Weโ€™ll discuss the risks, opportunities, and future of AI-assisted engineering, open hardware design, and human expertise. As AI evolves rapidly, asking the right questions now is essential to building a better future.

FOSSASIA Summit 2026 held in Bangkok, is Asia’s leading Open Source tech conference featuring sessions on #AI, #Cloud, #DevOps, #Open Hardware, #Security, #Web #Mobile Technologies, #Web3, and #Databases. Learn more: http://summit.fossasia.org
