​🎤 Ivan Burazin - "Building Infrastructure for AI Agents"

​​​​Outline:

​​​AI coding agents today are constrained by primitive infrastructure, limited to basic file operations with no access to runtime or output context—resulting in poor outcomes as agents can only assume their suggestions are correct. This talk will dive into the challenges agents face due to these limitations, explore how we can overcome them, and demonstrate how this unlocks the true potential of AI coding agents.

​

​🎤 Ivan Burazin and Jesse Essang - "Contributing to Open Source can change your Life"

​​​​Outline:

​Many aspiring developers hold misconceptions about open source. Some believe it’s just a way to get people to code for free, while others think that only highly experienced developers can contribute. This talk will clear up these misunderstandings and show listeners the many opportunities to earn money and build lasting careers in technology through open source projects.
