The new reality of AI-accelerated software engineering
This event offers a grounded view of AI adoption and the shift in software developer roles. We explore why AI-accelerated development is the most practical and scalable approach to get results faster, giving you the speed and flexibility to innovate without needing to hire a massive internal team just to move forward.
Speakers
About the event
Join us at Level39 in London for an evening dedicated to a grounded view of AI adoption. Whether you are modernizing an established codebase to address technical debt or launching a greenfield project, we will address the different perspectives for various company stages.
We will cover the concept of a vibe coding cleanup, exploring how this shift impacts the product validation process. The core message is that AI is a tool to get results faster. It offers a solution where engineers are still part of the game, but their role is transformed—allowing your team to be more elastic and focused on high-level architecture rather than just code generation.
This event is not recorded nor streamed online. Arrive in person, enjoy the discussion, drinks and view on London landscape from Level39.
