AI coding assistants are rapidly reshaping how developers write, debug, and ship software. Tools like Cursor and Claude Code can supercharge productivity — but only if you know how to use them effectively.

In this session, we’ll cut through the hype and focus on practical, developer-tested strategies for getting the most out of AI in your workflow.
You’ll learn how to master prompting and context engineering, make the most of long context windows, streamline debugging and testing, and integrate AI into your daily development practices without sacrificing code quality or security. We’ll also explore how emerging standards like Model Context Protocol (MCP) unlock new workflows by connecting your AI assistant directly to tools such as GitHub, Slack, Playwright or Figma — turning it from a code generator into a true development teammate.
Whether you’re new to AI-assisted coding or already experimenting with it daily, you’ll leave this talk with concrete ideas and techniques you can apply immediately to level up your development process.
