**// Being a Frontend Developer in the Age of Cursor (and AI) - Sarit Chaet Hudis, Senior Frontend Engineer at HoneyBook.**
As frontend developers, we're living through one of the most exciting - and confusing - times in tech. With AI-powered tools like Cursor, it's natural to wonder: What does being a developer even mean today? Should we just become faster typists for AI suggestions, or is there something deeper we should aim for? In this talk, we'll explore exactly that!
What you'll get from this talk:

* See where AI changes how we apply ownership, clarity, and maintainability
* Get to know common pitfalls while working with cursor
* Learn where AI can make you more efficient while staying alert and accountable for your work
* Touch on writing small but powerful Cursor rules

And no, this isn't about weekend side-projects, vibe coding, or comparing LLM engines. Instead, we'll focus on the skills that actually matter when building production-grade software inside a real-world organization.

**About the speaker:**
Sarit is a Frontend Engineer at HoneyBook. She holds an MA in Brain & cognitive sciences and a BA in learning technologies. Before becoming a web developer, she worked as an instructional designer and a manager for a decade. When she’s not coding, Sarit takes her pixel perfect mindset into painting and sketching.

**// Git Confident: How to Use Git the Right Way - Gili Belz, Software Engineer at Wiz**
Git can seem overwhelming, with so many commands and options to keep track of, leaving even experienced developers unsure of the best approach. But it doesn't have to be that complicated.
In this talk, Gili will show you how to confidently navigate Git, simplifying version control and making your development process smoother. Whether you're just starting out or have years of experience, you'll discover how to use Git effectively and avoid common mistakes. We'll cover the right ways to manage projects, streamline your workflow, and pick up new tips and tools that will level up your Git skills. By the end of this session, you'll feel more confident using Git, knowing you’re using it the right way.

**About the speaker:**
Gili Belz is a Software Engineer at Wiz. Before joining Wiz, she worked at companies like Riskified and NICE, where she led various domains, projects, and teams. Gili is passionate about diving deep into her work, ensuring she and her team fully understand the inner workings of the systems they build while always focusing on the right methodologies. She holds a BSc in Software Engineering from Ben Gurion University. In her free time, Gili loves to explore new tech, stay active, and unwind with a good book.

**// TDDie: Code with AI then Test with AI, Follow This Sequence and Watch Your Code Die - Jenia Barabanov, Principal Engineer at Honeybook**
I’ve been writing tests first since CI was a bash script. Not because it’s cool - but because it works.
Today, with GenAI confidently writing buggy code and then just-as-confidently writing tests to “prove” it’s correct, TDD isn’t just a best practice. It’s survival.
In this talk, we’ll revisit what Test Driven Development is, what it solves, and why it’s been both praised and dragged over the years. Then we’ll dive into what changes when AI enters the picture - and why starting with tests is the only way to stop your tools from confidently leading you off a cliff.
Let’s bring TDD back—with clarity, control, and maybe a little side-eye at our robot assistants.
