AI-First Engineering with Claude Code (Live Coding + Networking)

Join us in Irvine for a hands-on, developer-focused evening on how AI is changing the way we build software—today, not someday. Team Artemis, the AI-first innovation group at PlanetDDS, hosts this meetup, centered on real workflows, real code, and real lessons from the field.
We’ll explore how Claude Code is speeding up development and what compound learning looks like in practice. You’ll see how we’re weaving all of this into an AI-first engineering culture inside Team Artemis and across PlanetDDS projects.

What to expect:

• Inside Team Artemis at PlanetDDS (15 min)
  Hear how our AI innovation team operates, the kinds of problems we tackle, and how we integrate Claude Code into everyday engineering.

• Live coding with Claude Code (45 min)
  Watch an end-to-end, spec-driven build in real time: from prompt and spec to working code, refactors, and tests.

• Networking & Happy hour (60 min)
  Meet other engineers, founders, and AI builders. Swap ideas, compare workflows, and talk honestly about what’s working (and what isn’t) with AI coding tools.

Who this is for:

• Engineers using or curious about Claude Code and other AI coding assistants
• Tech leads and builders experimenting with AI-first processes
• Anyone interested in practical, production-minded AI development

Come prepared:
Bring your questions, your own stories using Claude Code (good, bad, and weird), and be ready for an open conversation about how AI is reshaping software engineering in the real world.
