To ensure availability, RSVP on: https://events.sonarsource.com/sonar-connect-dallas/

Join the SonarQube team for an exclusive, hands-on workshop for engineering teams, from . Learn how to close the AI verification gap and adopt the Agent Centric Development Cycle (AC/DC) so human and AI agents ship code at speed without sacrificing quality or security.

Date: Wednesday, June 17

Time: Workshop 9am - 3pm CT | World Cup watch party 3pm - 6pm CT

Agenda:

* Strategic framework: the Agent Centric Development Cycle (AC/DC)
* Live demos: latest product features, automated remediation, deep Git integrations
* World Cup watch party and happy hour with local peers

A NIGHT OF AI at Scale!
Running AI on your laptop is easy. Running it like an engineer is a different game. Many developers have wired AI into their workflow by now, a coding agent here, a chat window there. It works. But "it works on my machine" has always been where the real engineering starts, not where it ends.

This night is about what happens when you stop treating AI as a party trick and start treating it as infrastructure. Two talks, two altitudes of the same problem.

SPEAKERS:
Ben Potter - Product, Coder
Danny Thompson - Senior Developer Advocate, Atlassian

AI Always Compiles: Is your organization shipping THOSE results?
AI gives you output that runs. That's exactly what makes it dangerous. When the code compiles, the demo lands, and the answer sounds right, how do you know you're actually getting leverage instead of just moving faster toward the wrong thing? Danny breaks down the mental-model shift that separates developers who are genuinely scaling their impact with AI from those who are just generating more to review and the signals that tell you which one you are.

Self-Hosting Coding Agents: In the Homelab or the Enterprise
Many developers run coding agents like Claude Code directly on their laptops. It makes a great first impression, but it gets cumbersome and risky as usage scales. Ben walks through his personal Coder OSS setup in his homelab — running multiple agentic sessions in parallel, each in a secure, isolated development environment. From there we'll get into the patterns that make coding agents work at scale, whether you're self-hosting as a hobby or rolling this out across an enterprise. Come for the talks, stay for the conversation. Whether you're AI-curious or already deep in agentic workflows, you'll leave with a sharper sense of how to make this stuff actually scale.

Food and drinks provided.
