Senior software developers will share their own AI approaches and workflows. They’ll also discuss why constraints are so important for better agentic coding outcomes. It's the taste, judgment, and constraints you encode into the system that shapes what AI produces.

Featuring River Lynn Bailey, A.J. Hekman, Dave Mosher, Rick Reilly, and Jed Schneider.
