Vibe coding? Cute. Now let’s get real and talk about AI built for developers
Presented by JetBrains
The dialogue surrounding AI in software development often skews towards speed—fleeting sprints that emphasize high output and the sheer volume of lines of code produced. However, speed without quality is a hollow achievement in real-world applications. Join Kirill Skrygan, CEO of JetBrains, as he presents a forthright examination of how AI tailored for developers is poised to redefine the industry.
This session will delve into the significance of code quality and why it’s becoming a pivotal criterion for the next wave of intelligent software. Attendees will discover how developers can effectively leverage AI to produce reliable, scalable solutions that prioritize precision and performance, rather than merely focusing on rapid development. Insights shared here will be vital for anyone looking to stay ahead in the evolving tech landscape.
