6:15-7:30: Power and Perils of AI Aided Coding
AI coding uses intuition, assistance, or rapid iteration to build software without traditional design formality. It can feel liberating and fast, but it comes with hidden risks. This session takes a closer look at both the advantages and pitfalls of this emerging approach.
Attendees will explore when ai coding can boost creativity, collaboration, and speed, and when it can lead to fragile, hard-to-maintain systems. Through practical examples and guidelines, you will learn how to harness its strengths while avoiding the traps that undermine quality and long-term sustainability.
