Vibe coding? Fun. Now let’s explore AI designed for developers
Presented by JetBrains

AI in software development is frequently viewed as a target for speed—more output, more lines of code. But speed without quality is not sustainable. Join Kirill Skrygan, CEO of JetBrains, for a candid discussion on how AI created for developers is revolutionizing the field. This session will focus on why code quality—beyond just speed—is crucial for the next wave of intelligent software and how developers can harness AI for scalable, reliable, and precise solutions.
