AI coding tools are everywhere now, but adoption is uneven. Some developers use them daily; others remain skeptical. Getting a whole team on board is harder than it looks. This meetup explores the practical side of that challenge — how to bridge the gap between enthusiasts and skeptics, and what actually works when rolling out AI coding across a team. Evgeny Potapov, engineering manager with over 20 years of experience and cofounder of US-based startup ApexData, will share lessons from 1.5 years of navigating this shift: — Why some developers hesitate, and the psychology behind it — What gets adopted easily, and which team practices help — When AI coding won't work and forcing adoption makes no sense — How to push back when AI is the wrong tool for the job If you're a developer, tech lead, or engineering manager facing similar questions, this is a chance to learn from real experience and connect with others on the same path. 🕒 Schedule: 18:30 🥂 Networking, Pizza & Drinks 19:00 👋 Welcome Words 19:15–20:00 🎤 Evgeny Potapov: AI-First Coding: Closing the Gap Between Skeptics and Practitioners in Dev Teams
