Why Splurging on Expensive Models Fails to Ship Code and How to Measure Real Engineering Output with Emilie Schario, Co-Founder & Head of Product & Engineering at Kilo Code
The AI Throughput Illusion: Why Splurging on Expensive Models Fails to Ship Code and How to Measure Real Engineering Output with Emilie Schario, Co-Founder & Head of Product & Engineering at Kilo Code
Emilie Schario grew up in New Jersey, outside of Newark, and attended college in the state. Currently, she lives in Columbus, Georgia, outside of Atlanta. She mentions she got into technology so she could easily follow her husband’s career geographically, and has much success in the industry. Outside of tech, she is married with 3 boys (all 5 and under)… so there is a lot of wrestling in her household. She admits she is often quoted staying she does three things in her life – work, parenting, and if she is lucky, attends CrossFit 3 times a week. In fact, she finds a great sense of community in that world, and brings her kids with her to cheer her on.
A year and a half ago, Emilie’s current venture was started, to build the open source orchestrator (or “harness”) for AI coding agents. Through some shuffle in the early team, Emilie joined and started in building the fastest AI coding app on the market.
