'AI-driven Software Delivery' and 'Why DevEx Matters'

Two talks on development best practices

Nikita Malyschkin will share hands-on experience with AI-driven software delivery:
Creating a pipeline that utilizes GenAI to automatically migrate a legacy code-base onto a new stack, Nikita gives insights on how data was prepared, process of models and architecture were selected, why Gemini lost its grip on reality and how the team spent months hostage negotiations with AI agents to save 3 days of migrating C# to Typescript.

Manuel Gass discusses why developer experience matters:
He walks you through Jimdo's 18-month journey, during which DevEx was taken seriously as a strategic priority, not just a technical hygiene issue. He shares insights on the results and lessons learned along the way:

• Why DevEx is more than just a buzzword
• How the business can drive meaningful improvements in engineering
• What Jimdo got right, what they're still figuring out, and why it‘s worth the effort
