Twelve Essential Engineering Practices for AI-Assisted Development

Wed, April 28AI-Assisted Software Engineering

Using AI to write code is like driving a car: learning to drive defensively and sensibly can help you reach your destination safely and quickly. While much of the attention around AI-assisted development focuses on what AI can create, the greater challenge is how to consistently deliver high-quality software faster with its help.

In this session, you will explore twelve essential technical practices for maintaining a high pace of AI-assisted development without compromising software quality. You will examine practices designed to help teams balance speed with disciplined engineering and avoid the consequences of focusing on development velocity alone.

What You Will Learn

  • Twelve essential technical practices for AI-assisted software development

  • How to maintain a high pace of development while continuing to deliver high-quality software

  • How disciplined engineering practices can help teams avoid problems caused by focusing on speed alone

Who Should Attend

Software Developers, Technical Leads, Software Architects, Engineering Managers, and teams using AI to accelerate software development.
