Byte Size: Coding Me, Coding You

How AI Agents are Transforming Software Development

Time: 17:30 – 20:15

Cut through the hype: discover the real impact of AI coding assistants on productivity, code quality, and how teams can harness them effectively.

LLM-powered coding assistants have rapidly become part of the developer toolkit. While many practitioners report significant productivity gains, research presents a more nuanced picture. Some studies suggest the benefits are modest, and questions remain about code quality, ownership, and long-term maintainability.

This Byte Size event cuts through the hype to examine what these tools actually deliver. You’ll hear from expert speakers who have implemented and evaluated AI coding assistants in real-world settings. We’ll explore:

• The measurable impact on developer productivity and code quality
• Best practices for maximising value from these tools
• How organisations can adapt their workflows and structures to harness AI effectively
• The practical challenges of code ownership and ongoing maintenance

Whether you’re considering adopting these tools or looking to optimise your current approach, join us for an evidence-based discussion on the real opportunities, and limitations, of AI in software development.

Why attend:

• Hear about the latest, state-of-the-art coding assistants
