DETAILS

We've all done a lot of talking in the last few months (years??) about coding agents, advancements in models, & AI slop. In this meetup, we're bringing all of this together as our speakers talk about how to squeeze even more out of AI so you can actually ship something you're proud of.

Be our guest, hear from the speakers we've assembled, & bring your hard questions. We're here to learn from each other, successes & failures alike.
