AI agents are reshaping how we work, how we code, how we search — and quietly, how we think about ourselves as practitioners. The ground is shifting. And nobody has all the answers yet. That is exactly why we are doing this. We invite you into an open, interactive workshop in the community space: no slides, no frontal talk, no recording. Just honest conversations about what skills still matter, what is becoming obsolete, and what we need to build to navigate what is coming.
These are troubling times. Interesting times. Exciting times. Times that challenge us to reflect on where we should be focusing our energy.
In this interactive workshop, we will start by collectively answering four thought-provoking questions on shared boards — every voice, every perspective, visible in the room. Then we vote with dots on the topics that matter most to us. The winning topics go straight into a fishbowl: short, focused five-minute discussions where a small circle talks while everyone else listens, reacts, and rotates in.
The insights and themes from this session will flow directly into the panel discussion on Thursday afternoon, so your voice carries further than this room.
Come in, participate, find a seat, and let us figure this out together.
Open community space · Non-recorded · All experience levels welcome
