Whether you want to share your insights or simply learn from others, everyone is welcome in this community-driven learning experience. With Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) and Flutter proving their long-term viability, mobile leaders must navigate the intersection of cross-platform and native development. This session will analyze the strengths and limitations of cross-platform approaches and provide guidance on structuring mobile projects to leverage both paradigms effectively. > How can cross-platform and native development coexist within the same project or company? > What are the primary advantages and trade-offs of cross-platform solutions compared to native? > What types of apps or features benefit most from a cross-platform approach? > How have KMP and Flutter evolved beyond past expectations, and what does that mean for long-term strategy?

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?
