Sophia Roetker
Senior Mobile Developer
I am a mobile developer with over 5 years of experience building applications for Android, Flutter, and .NET MAUI. My work across various industries has focused on shipping robust, production-grade apps on modern, fast-moving platforms. I'm passionate about leveraging new tools like AI to accelerate development, but I'm also deeply interested in navigating their real-world risks and limitations. This talk is a direct result of my hands-on experience staying on the cutting edge of cross-platform development.
The AI Knowledge Cliff: What happens when your stack is newer than the training data
Everyone is shipping faster with AI, but there's a hidden failure mode: what happens when your framework is newer than the AI's data? Based on my experience shipping a production app on .NET MAUI 9, I'll show you how AI confidently generates perfect-looking code that’s subtly wrong for new APIs. This is a structural problem every developer will face, whether on SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose, or any new tech. The model's confidence doesn't drop when its knowledge does. Join this session to learn how to detect the "knowledge cliff" and the specific workflow changes that let you keep the AI benefits without the hidden tech debt.
