Software Engineering with GenAI - Beyond the Hype and Hyperbole

Join this unconference-style session designed for interactive group discussion. Whether you want to share your insights or simply learn from others, everyone is welcome in this community-driven learning experience.

AI coding assistants have been hyped as game-changers for software engineering, but how effective are they in practice? This session provides a reality check on current AI coding tools, analyzing what works, what doesn’t, and how these tools impact software development workflows. You'll get a chance to discuss best practices, challenges, and the future trajectory of GenAI in software development with your peers and examine:
> What is the current state of AI coding assistants?
>How are AI coding assistants improving developer productivity?
> What AI tools are effective for software development today, which ones are disappointing?
> What are the future trends and implications of AI-driven software development?
> What are the implications for cross-platform development?
