Name: AI-First Coding: Closing the Gap Between Skeptics and Practitioners in Dev Teams
Start: 2026-01-15T16:30:00.000Z
Location: Rothschild Blvd 57

AI coding tools are everywhere now, but adoption is uneven. Some developers use them daily; others remain skeptical. Getting a whole team on board is harder than it looks.
This meetup explores the practical side of that challenge — how to bridge the gap between enthusiasts and skeptics, and what actually works when rolling out AI coding across a team.

Evgeny Potapov, engineering manager with over 20 years of experience and cofounder of US-based startup ApexData, will share lessons from 1.5 years of navigating this shift:
— Why some developers hesitate, and the psychology behind it
— What gets adopted easily, and which team practices help
— When AI coding won't work and forcing adoption makes no sense
— How to push back when AI is the wrong tool for the job

If you're a developer, tech lead, or engineering manager facing similar questions, this is a chance to learn from real experience and connect with others on the same path.
