+        <h2>Overview</h2>
+        <p>
+          Earlier this year I ran a cohort with over 100 mentees focused entirely on open-source contributions
+          and emulating a real-world developer workflow. There were 14 teams, participants sent over 16,000
+          messages in the Discord, and 651 contributions were reviewed. Then I ran an exit survey.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+          The results were telling: 71% of participants used AI to augment their work, and 58% wished I had
+          provided better guidelines around how to do so. That last metric was the lowest-rated portion of the
+          entire experience.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+          This talk shares the boots-on-the-ground findings: what the data show, how AI helped participants
+          stay engaged, and how it made it harder to identify skill gaps that led to contributor churn.
+        </p>
+      </section>

+        <h2>Key Takeaway</h2>
+        <p>
+          AI is drastically reshaping the open source ecosystem. It is the core driver of the gap between
+          contributors who stay and contributors who churn. As MCP-enabled tooling continues to redefine what
+          "AI-augmented workflow" means, mentorship becomes more important than ever &mdash; and the lessons from
+          this cohort belong to every maintainer.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+          We need to adapt to the ever-changing agentic AI domain. The talk ends with concrete guidance on how
+          to do that.
