About this event

AI is everywhere right now, but what does it really mean for Salesforce developers?

Join us this month as we explore how developers can thrive with AI and take a look at fine-tuning Large Language Models for Salesforce-specific use cases.

We will of course have the usual mix of networking and fun, and maybe even some swag to giveaway.

Please note that this is an IN-PERSON event only, and sadly due to repeat no-shows we might have to start REFUSING ENTRY to folk if they RSVP and repeatedly don't make the events. This is something we really want to enforce, but many folk have not been able to attend the events due to others taking up a ticket and then not showing up. We understand that plans do change, but if they do please update your RSVP as soon as you can.

Developer Thriving with AI - Aidan Harding

AI coding tools promise to revolutionize development, but teams are still learning how to make that revolution happen. This talk shares hard-won lessons of working with AI agents in real codebases, informed by years of CS and engineering experience. You’ll discover when to let AI run versus when to interrupt it, how cheap code changes what’s worth automating, why friction in your codebase is actually a valuable signal, and more. Whether you’re sceptical about AI or already using it daily, you’ll leave with practical strategies for working with these tools thoughtfully.

As always, we will give everyone plenty of time to talk and network, eat, and have a fun and relaxing evening. We'll also cover the latest news from the community, and hopefully have some swag to give away too

Please note this is an in-person only event - only RSVP if you are confident you will be able to attend.
