Whether you're a seasoned enterprise developer or you're getting started with your development career, bringing AI into your development workflow can seem like a daunting task.
At the 2026 kickoff event for the Tracy Developer Meetup, we're going to explore AI assisted development, vibe coding in particular, and how you can accelerate your development at any stage of your career.
Bring your laptops, your questions, and your eagerness to learn.
Session #1: Vibe Coding for the Indie Developer; Tips, Tricks, and Gotchas
Are you breaking into the development space and need help? Are you leaning heavily on AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, Ollama, and similar, but aren’t getting the results you want? Are you burning through your AI credits faster than anticipated?
AI agents can be a powerful tool for vibe coding and a great way to boost your output as a developer of any level, but there are many considerations to take into account.
In this session you’ll learn how to not only vibe code, but get better results when developing your own applications.
Session #2: AI for the Enterprise Developer
Join us for "AI for the Enterprise Developer," a practical session that explores how large IT organizations are embedding AI across the entire Software Development Life Cycle to boost code quality, security, maintainability, and runtime visibility. We’ll show real-world approaches for using tools like ChatGPT, Office Copilot, Kiro, and Amazon Q to accelerate requirement refinement, automate secure coding and code review, generate and maintain tests, and surface actionable telemetry and performance insights in production. Learn how integrating AI into planning, coding, CI/CD, testing, and observability reduces cycle time, raises developer productivity, enforces enterprise governance, and delivers more reliable, secure applications at scale.
