Can AI make you a better developer? Let's find out!

AI is transforming software development, but how effective is AI-powered coding in real-world scenarios? Join Codurance’s Code Retreat to put AI-assisted development to the test!

This is your chance to:

  • Gain hands-on experience with AI-powered coding tools
  • Compete in a live coding challenge with and without AI assistance 
  • Measure the impact of AI on code quality, speed, and developer experience
  • Network with top engineers and AI enthusiasts

How it works

  • Participants will be divided into teams and given the same coding challenge
  • Half the teams will use AI coding assistants, while the other half must rely on traditional coding
  • At the end, teams will compare results, share insights, and discuss AI’s role in modern software engineering

Try out your favourite AI tool(s) from GitHub Co-Pilot, Cursor AI, AWS CodeWhisperer, JetBrains AI Assistant, Tabnine, and more!

This event is aimed at mid-level or senior software engineers with some experience using AI coding tools. Whether you're a sceptic or an AI advocate, come put your skills—and AI—to the test!

To participate, you just need to bring your own laptop with your favourite AI developer tool installed! Complimentary food and drinks will be provided throughout the day.
