Coding with AI Agents: Better Code, Faster
Details
AI coding agents can write code in seconds. Getting that code to be correct, understandable, and easy to maintain takes some judgment—and a good workflow.
Join Columbus AI Engineering for a practical discussion on using Codex and other AI coding agents more effectively. Through a before-and-after example, we’ll explore how to guide an agent from its first attempt to code you can confidently ship.
We’ll cover:
- Giving agents the context and instructions they need.
- Breaking work into manageable tasks.
- Spotting unnecessary complexity, excessive verbosity, and questionable assumptions.
- Using feedback, code review, and testing to improve the result.
- Knowing when to let the agent work and when to step in.
Expect concrete examples, honest discussion of what works and what doesn’t, and plenty of room to share your own experiences.
Whether you’re getting started with AI coding tools or already using them daily, come explore how to make them a more effective part of your development workflow.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
