A fool with a tool is still a fool! Why we must use AI wisely
Developer
Intermediate
“A fool with a tool is still a fool” examines how AI is reshaping software development—what it truly does well, where it fails spectacularly, and how to use it responsibly rather than recklessly. Drawing on real-world wins and faceplants (including “vibe coding”), the talk distills practical guardrails, governance, and senior-level responsibilities for shipping trustworthy systems.
Details
Most developers use AI in some capacity. In my talk, I’ll share practical AI experiences from projects over the past two years. AI has been invaluable in many ways. For example, it significantly improved test coverage in a FastAPI project. It also played a crucial role in data exploration and helped us navigate new business domains, such as simulating hydrogen distribution networks.
Additionally, we leveraged AI to assist in porting a legacy Plone project to Plone 6.1. While AI is not a magic solution to all developer challenges, it is a powerful tool for problem-solving and can save significant time on routine migration tasks.
