Getting productive with Claude Code — an agent that's brilliant, opinionated, and occasionally makes things up.

In this talk Dave will get into the reality of agentic AI development — what it's genuinely good at (in his opinion), where it'll burn you, and how to tune it to your philosophies.

He'll cover live demos across:

• Solving a Project Euler using Claude
• Adding features to an existing open source codebase
• Building something complex from scratch with parts you don't know

We'll also look at why running your own infrastructure matters more, not less, in an agentic world — and why "just deploy to Vercel" might be the wrong move.

You'll leave with a mental model of where Claude Code (is it really a lazy, immoral, subversive, gaslighting liar?) may fit more into your workflow, and enough live demos to either excite or terrify you. Probably both.

🍕🍻 Pizza and drinks will be provided thanks to sponsorship from Puck - the open source visual editor for React.
