Modern Dev Workflows for AI-Augmented Teams w/Ryan Hayes

As AI coding agents like Cursor, Claude Code, and other become ubiquitous in modern dev teams, the difference between frustration and great outcomes often lies in how well your workflow supports these tools. In this practical session, Ryan Hayes will explore how to build an engineering environment that empowers both human and machine contributors.

From CI/CD pipelines and test automation to smart pre-commit hooks and build validation, Ryan will give you practical tips for tuning your development stack to maximize AI agent effectiveness while reducing regressions, cognitive overhead and technical debt. Whether you're just introducing AI tools or optimizing their impact across a larger team, this talk will equip you with strategies to improve your entire software delivery lifecycle.

About TriDev

TriDev is a monthly software development meetup with a wide range of topics in order to mix a wide range of people. Topics include code, IoT and maker projects, VR/AR, design, soft skills, leadership, and more.

Each meetup starts at 6PM with a few minutes of chat and networking. At 6:15 a speaker gives the talk on the topic of the night. We try to limit the talk to an hour, so at 7:15 we can start our giveaways. We try and dismiss around 7:30 to have some time for discussion or extra Q/A with the speaker for folks who want to hang around, but allow for others to get home or to other obligations if needed. After the talk, we usually head to White Duck Taco.
