[ONLINE] Gregor Riegler: "Extreme AI Augmented Coding"
This is a special event where Gregor Riegler will talk about augmented coding. 💬 Abstract Augmented Coding is more than just asking an AI to help you write code. You externalize your decision points, heuristics, and workflows into artifacts that the agent can follow. The agent becomes your mentee. As you do that, you change your focus from low-level details to high-level intent and methodology. Decisions that were unconscious become explicit. In this talk, I’ll share my story of how I learned to teach AI a Software Crafter’s approach to development. The agent follows a rigorous TDD process with 121 unique nodes and 131 directed edges that can run autonomously for hours, creating dozens of commits. It covers advanced context engineering and techniques to increase autonomy while aiming to maintain quality. And I will tell real stories of AI-enabled breakthroughs in real-world product development. 🤠 About Gregor Riegler Gregor is a Principal Software Engineer at Tricentis, a market-leading test automation company. He cares about helping people find joy in their work — because he believes that when people enjoy what they do, they create better results. Throughout his career, he has seen how painful software development can be, but he’s also learned it doesn’t have to be that way. Today, he meets people where they are, bringing fresh perspectives and subtle cultural nudges that help teams rediscover joy and deliver better software.

AI Talks - Lada Kesseler: Augmented Coding: Mapping the Uncharted Territory
Welcome to our eight-week series on practical uses of AI for software crafters. Each week, we will have an expert talking about their learnings in this new a rapidly evolving field. If you're excited to learn how these new tools can enhance and support your skills, please join us! This series is hosted in collaboration with Software Crafters Montreal. https://guild.host/software-crafters-montreal Description: Developers find themselves in a world where old maps no longer apply. The rules of software development have fundamentally shifted, and continue shifting at unprecedented speeds. Drawing from a year of exploration, this talk reveals where AI truly shines - from rapid prototyping to uncovering what we didn't know we didn't know - and hidden dangers that can erode the very trust our software depends on. Come discover the patterns emerging from this new reality: when to explore freely, when to be careful, and what opens up when the old constraints disappear. Bio: Lada is a seasoned practitioner of extreme programming, Test-Driven Development, and Domain-Driven Design who transforms complex legacy systems into maintainable architectures through incremental improvement and continuous refactoring. Her approach pairs deep technical expertise with genuine empathy for both end users and fellow developers, creating resilient systems that truly serve their users.

This series is hosted in collaboration with Calgary Software Crafters: https://www.meetup.com/calgary-software-crafters Description: AI coding agents feel like magic... right up until they collide with production code. For teams maintaining legacy systems, these agents often hallucinate APIs, run off on tangents, and shatter trust faster than an unreviewed hotfix at 5pm. Ignoring the past won't save us, because new code becomes old! We can do better, and we will. In this session we'll go over emerging strategies for improving the accuracy of coding agents on real codebases, benchmarks such as SWE-bench that evaluate our progress, and their limitations. Expect to walk away with actionable techniques and a renewed respect for code that came before us and the challenges ahead.

This series is hosted in collaboration with Calgary Software Crafters: https://www.meetup.com/calgary-software-crafters Description: We want our software to be easy for people to use. That means building a great UI. Now that people work with AI agents, we need our software to be easy for agents to use. That means building a great MCP. Model Context Protocol servers give AI agents fingers to feel around and act in the world, one tool at a time. In this session, I’ll share design considerations from the Honeycomb.io MCP. I’ll contrast MCP design with human UX and software APIs, then discuss ways to tell whether the MCP is effective in production. Bio: Jessica Kerr is a symmathecist, in the medium of code. She believes in learning systems made of learning parts: enthusiastic people and evolving software. She is a Principal Developer Advocate at Honeycomb.io, where she teaches developers to make their software teach them what’s going on inside. In twenty years of professional software development, she has programmed in and spoken at conferences about Java, Scala, Clojure, TypeScript, Ruby, and Elm. She lives in St. Louis, MO with two children who invent worlds and draw characters with superpowers, and two cats who meow and knock over water glasses.

This series is hosted in collaboration with Calgary Software Crafters: https://www.meetup.com/calgary-software-crafters Description: AI agents are everywhere, but how do you go from demo to dependable? In this talk, we’ll build agents using LangGraph, and take it beyond toy examples into enterprise-grade readiness. We’ll start with context engineering concepts like: control flow, prompt engineering, prompt management and tool calling. From there, we’ll build an agent step-by-step, enabling contextual reasoning via Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and integrating tool use for dynamic task execution. We'll also cover agent observability with open source observability tools such as LangFuse to bring full observability into the decision our agents make. Whether you're exploring AI agents or planning your first production deployment, you'll leave this session with the patterns, tools, and clarity to do it right.

AI Talks - Chelsea Troy: What Can we expect from LLMs as Software Engineers?
Welcome to our eight-week series on practical uses of AI for software crafters. Each week, we will have an expert talking about their learnings in this new a rapidly evolving field. If you're excited to learn how these new tools can enhance and support your skills, please join us! This series is hosted in collaboration with Calgary Software Crafters: https://www.meetup.com/calgary-software-crafters Description: How can we expect LLM products to impact software engineering? Join Chelsea Troy for an examination of how LLM products are built. She'll walk through the domain: what data LLMs are trained on and how they're trained: and spell out how those factors impact what LLMs tend to do well with and where they tend to struggle. Then, we'll talk about how that affects the design of the products built around LLMs, like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, or Devon. Finally, take a tour with Chelsea through current research elucidating the impact of LLM product use on developer workflows, and dig into what that means for us as practitioners in an LLM-enabled world.
