AI Talks - Lada Kesseler: Augmented Coding: Mapping the Uncharted Territory

Welcome to our eight-week series on practical uses of AI for software crafters. Each week, we will have an expert talking about their learnings in this new a rapidly evolving field. If you're excited to learn how these new tools can enhance and support your skills, please join us!

This series is hosted in collaboration with Software Crafters Montreal. https://guild.host/software-crafters-montreal

Description:

Developers find themselves in a world where old maps no longer apply. The rules of software development have fundamentally shifted, and continue shifting at unprecedented speeds.

Drawing from a year of exploration, this talk reveals where AI truly shines - from rapid prototyping to uncovering what we didn't know we didn't know - and hidden dangers that can erode the very trust our software depends on.

Come discover the patterns emerging from this new reality: when to explore freely, when to be careful, and what opens up when the old constraints disappear.
