The workshop

Learn it by building it.

A practical half-day for working developers. Bring a small feature or kata and learn a repeatable workflow for getting useful output while staying in control of architecture, quality and security.

You leave with

A personal AI development playbook and a completed, reviewed feature.

What you will take away

  • Context and prompt patterns for code work
  • Plan-first implementation with checkpoints
  • AI-supported tests and code review
  • A clear boundary for data, secrets and trust

A practical agenda

Implement with tests, small diffs and deliberate verification.

4. 03:00

Review the reviewer

Use AI for critique without outsourcing your judgement.

Who it is for

Professional software developers

The workshop is deliberately small so questions and direct feedback are part of the day.

What you need

  • Professional coding experience
  • A laptop and access to an AI coding assistant
  • A small codebase or exercise to work on
