6:15-7:30: Power and Perils of AI Aided Coding
AI coding uses intuition, assistance, or rapid iteration to build software without traditional design formality. It can feel liberating and fast, but it comes with hidden risks. This session takes a closer look at both the advantages and pitfalls of this emerging approach.
Attendees will explore when ai coding can boost creativity, collaboration, and speed, and when it can lead to fragile, hard-to-maintain systems. Through practical examples and guidelines, you will learn how to harness its strengths while avoiding the traps that undermine quality and long-term sustainability.

6:15-7:30: Your Code Isn’t AI-Ready (Yet):
Fixing the Complexity That Breaks AI Agents
AI agents don’t struggle with syntax. They struggle with missing intent, non-expressive code, and surprising dependencies. Historically, we were supposed to write code for human readers, code that fits our cognitive limits and supports collaboration. In reality, much of our industry has fallen short.
That comes back to bite us.

When AI agents enter the development loop, they amplify those same problems. Where a human developer will ask questions and seek clarification, an AI often proceeds without it, making its best guess from patterns in code that was never designed to be unambiguous.
Code that is hard for humans to understand becomes unreliable for AI.
In this talk, Adam Tornhill shows how to turn that around. You’ll learn the key principles behind AI-friendly code and apply practical AI-assisted refactoring patterns that make those principles concrete. The focus is not on generating more code, but on improving the code you already have so AI becomes reliable instead of risky. All recommendations are grounded in AI research and cognitive psychology.
