Build without limits - lessons learned from using generative AI dev tools
2025-07-24 , Auditorium

Next generation developer tools that incorporate generative AI are everywhere, but how good are they, and. more importantly, how useful. In this talk I am going to share what I have learned from using these tools over the last 12 months.


This talk is always evolving as the AI coding landscape changes.

I will cover the kinds of day-to-day scenarios and use cases I am finding them useful for, how they are helping me address some of my developer problems, and tips I have learned to more effectively use these tools. This builds upon a series of blogs posts where I have been sharing my experiences (and code) in 2024.

This session contains live coding/demos that will help you see this in action.
