What a dream! We're still thinking about this summer on Martha's Vineyard. Alongside The Gathering Spot and the Silicon South Foundation, we hosted Silicon South House at the Martha's Vineyard Museum, bringing the conversation about expanding pathways for Southern technologists, founders and innovators to the island. Leaders from across tech, business, policy and culture came together to talk about AI, entrepreneurship and economic opportunity in the South. The South has something to say, and we're making sure the whole country hears it. Until next summer 🤍

Why is RenderATL a must-attend for tech leaders? Jemiah Sius, Vice President of Market Strategy & Developer Relations at New Relic, shares how the conference blends elite content with a unique, vibrant atmosphere. By bringing together tech giants, new engineers, and students, RenderATL creates powerful moments for organizations to engage with the developer community.

DraftKings pulled up to RenderATL with a major takeaway for devs: engineers have to be more open-minded than ever because everyone is a builder now. With the tools and capabilities available today, we can build solid, effective solutions way earlier in the development process. RenderATL 2027 tickets are live right now!

Scott Hanselman brought the truth to RenderATL: AI can take care of the mundane, non-creative stuff, but it can’t replace your taste, your responsibility, or your judgment. We are not here to memorize basic information anymore... we are here to be aware and apply actual critical thinking to what we build. When was the last time your gut told you an AI output was completely wrong? Sound off below.

With the rise of AI-native companies, how do startups build trust and scale without compromising user experience? Jemiah Sius, VP of Market Strategy & Developer Relations at New Relic, shares why human partnership and observability matter as much as platform credits.

As AI coding agents move faster, they still make the same mistakes human coders do. The real source of truth isn't just the code... it’s the telemetry coming back from production. To prevent business disruptions, we have to act fast on production data and feed those insights back upstream to build better code, tests, and processes. How is your team using production telemetry to improve your dev cycle? Drop your thoughts below! 👇 #RenderATL #DevOps #SoftwareEngineering #AICoding #BuildInPublic #TechCommunity

For too long, the South got left out of the tech conversation even with our wealth of talent, ideas, and culture. That's why we call it Silicon South, a place where engineers, developers, builders, and enterprise companies can thrive. This year, we launched @silicon.south because the South's talent was never the problem, but access was. So we built the bridge connecting Southern technologists, founders, and communities to the capital, mentorship, and visibility they've earned.

New AI tools drop every day. So where do you go to figure out what’s actually useful? You talk to other people building with them. In this clip from episode one of the RenderATL Podcast, @NewRelic's Jemiah Sius talks with host Selena Hill about the value of getting together, comparing notes, and learning in real time.

AI can be your coworker, assistant or accelerator, but it cannot replace great human judgment.

RenderATL and our nonprofit foundation, Silicon South, brought Silicon South House to Martha’s Vineyard with The Retreat by The Gathering Spot. We gathered leaders across tech, business, policy and culture to talk AI, entrepreneurship and the future of innovation in the South. Grateful to Mayor Andre Dickens for joining us and everyone from Atlanta who stopped by the House. The South has the talent. We’re helping build the access and connections.

Large Project of the Year at the @RenderATL #Commits Awards: @tan_stack! One of the best open source projects I’ve used. Huge shoutout to @tannerlinsley and the entire TanStack community.

The @RenderATL crowd really showed up. We packed the room out. Also, people will just put their hands in the air if you ask them to. There are several songs about this.

Mentorship is such a key part of growth. Appreciate conferences like @RenderATL so much. Genuinely feel like I’ve grown the last two days - which is ridiculous to say. The opportunity to have conversations and learn directly from the likes of Scott Hanselman, Sarah Drasner, Kelsey Hightower, Angie Jones and so many more… mindblowing! 🥹
