🥷🧙♀️🧝🪄 Hands-on + Community-first
From hackathons to deep dives, these events are built to help you explore modern AI-driven development workflows and connect with peers.
Bob is built to support domain users without coding experience as well as R&D + Ops folks from the ideation stage up to modernization of legacy apps, to secure, fullstack enterprise-ready development.

If you’re curious about where AI is taking software engineering next, this is a great place to plug in.
