summary

The talk names transformers, LLMs, Hugging Face and Azure AI Forge, shows an automation that auto-replies “I’m working on it” and raises NPS, recounts a two-week hunt for a bug that a five‑minute UI tweak would have fixed, and a staging MySQL spill that forced a resilient migration. High‑performing teams talk to customers and measure impact.
