Coding with Background Agents

​Background agents are changing how we write code, but mastering them requires more than just turning them on. This interactive workshop focuses on practical techniques for getting the most out of tools like Cursor Background Agents, Claude Code, and OpenAI Codex.

​We'll compare and contrast these tools while walking through real examples we've been experimenting with. You'll see how each tool handles different coding scenarios, learn when to use which approach, and discover techniques that can dramatically improve your results.

​This isn't a traditional workshop where we lecture and you listen. We're all figuring out the best ways to work with these AI tools, so let's learn together! Come ready to share your own experiences, ask questions, and participate in discussions about what's working (and what isn't) in your day-to-day coding.

​We'll cover practical strategies for different coding tasks, troubleshooting common issues, and optimizing your workflow with background agents. Whether you're already using these tools or just getting started, you'll leave with actionable techniques and insights from the collective experience of the group.

​This event is open to all developers, regardless of background, so feel free to share the invite link. Come prepared to engage, share your experiences, and learn from others who are navigating the same challenges with AI-assisted coding. This is as much about community learning as it is about the tools themselves.
