The Future of Development is Here is a conversation about how we’re actually using AI to build—without pretending we have it all figured out. Whether you’re breaking into development, building your own project at night, or shipping software inside a big organization, we’re going to talk about what works, what doesn’t, and the “gotchas” nobody warns you about until you’ve already wasted time (and credits).
Daisy Mayorga will host, and we’ll learn from two speakers who live in this world every day:
Nic Raboy will share practical tips for vibe coding as an indie developer—how to get better results from tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Ollama, and more, without burning through your AI credits.
Chris Mitchell will walk us through what enterprise teams are doing—how AI fits across planning, coding, testing, CI/CD, and even production visibility, so teams can ship faster and more securely.
No pressure to be an expert. Bring your questions, your curiosity, and your “I’m still learning” energy.
Because the truth is: we’re all building the future together.
Talk 1: Vibe Coding for the Indie Developer; Tips, Tricks, and Gotchas
Are you breaking into the development space and need help? Are you leaning heavily on AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, Ollama, and similar, but aren’t getting the results you want? Are you burning through your AI credits faster than anticipated?
AI agents can be a powerful tool for vibe coding and a great way to boost your output as a developer of any level, but there are many considerations to take into account.
In this session segment you’ll learn how to not only vibe code, but get better results when developing your own applications.
Talk 2: AI for the Enterprise Developer
Join us for "AI for the Enterprise Developer," a practical session that explores how large IT organizations are embedding AI across the entire Software Development Life Cycle to boost code quality, security, maintainability, and runtime visibility. We’ll show real-world approaches for using tools like ChatGPT, Office Copilot, Kiro, and Amazon Q to accelerate requirement refinement, automate secure coding and code review, generate and maintain tests, and surface actionable telemetry and performance insights in production. Learn how integrating AI into planning, coding, CI/CD, testing, and observability reduces cycle time, raises developer productivity, enforces enterprise governance, and delivers more reliable, secure applications at scale.
