AI Native Dev - Meetup NYC
AI is changing Software development. We're really excited and intrigued by the futureof it :
Maybe you are building software with AI ?
Or building tools that build software with AI ?
Then this meetup is for you. No product pitches, all experience from the trenches. And if you're attending the AI Engineer NYC Summit, this is the perfect warmup event !
Awesomly the venue is provided by Grubhub .
Program:
17:30 Venue opens
18:00 Talks: ~ 4 x 20min + Q&A

AI Native Development, make sense of these new tools and patterns - Patrick Debois
AI is influencing the way we write code. Tools like Github Copilot, Cursor, v0, Lovable and Bolt.new are changing the way we build software and increase our productivity.
Most people start with Github Copilot and when it doesn't give the perfect result they dismiss AI . But there are so much more features that AI brought us.
This talk is a very comprehensive overview of new AI native Coding tool features that exist today ! And more we'll discuss the patterns we see as this new world becomes reality.
Renowned for his groundbreaking contributions to DevOps and DevSecOps, Patrick is once again at the forefront, navigating the evolving intersection of human intelligence, automation, and AI.
PSAI, an innovative AI-driven module for PowerShell - Doug Finke
In this session, Doug showcases PSAI, an innovative AI-driven module for PowerShell, designed to supercharge productivity through intelligent interactions and autonomous agent workflows.
Interactive Command Line Prompts: Solve real-world challenges like regex creation, text-to-SQL transformations, and code analysis—assisted by AI.
Streamlined Problem Solving: Witness precise, efficient AI responses for technical tasks in real-time.
Autonomous Agents with PSAI: Learn how to build AI-driven tools with New-Agent to automate workflows and drive efficiency.
Doug Finke isn’t just another PowerShell expert—he’s a 16-time Microsoft MVP and the author of PowerShell for Developers. Known for helping professionals push past technical barriers, Doug redefines what’s possible in the world of PowerShell.
Make tools that don't break - Ray Myers
AI will change Software Engineering, but for better or worse? That's up to us. Maintaining revenue-critical legacy codebases requires safety, but often our tools fall short. Even with their remarkable capabilities, LLM-based coding assistants are notoriously unreliable when faced with the complexity of legacy systems.
In this session, we’ll explore hybrid approaches combining AI with proven techniques like Formal Methods and disciplined refactoring. Using some truly treacherous code from the International Obfuscated C Code Contest, we’ll showcase techniques that work even under extreme conditions. If you’re ready to stop fearing the breakage and start designing tools we can trust, this talk is for you.
Ray is currently Chief Architect at All Hands AI and co-hosts the Empathy in Tech podcast.
