Agentic AI-assisted engineering tools promise cleaner code, faster development, and fewer late-night debugging sessions. But do they truly deliver?
In this live showdown, Viktor and Baruch will each use a different set of cutting-edge AI coding tools, like an IDEs and CLI agents (we’d name them, but honestly, things move too fast in this space), to develop a non-trivial IoT application, from initial setup to testing and debugging, all live on stage.
Will the IoT bulb turn on by the end of the session, and which tool will make it happen? You don’t know, we don’t know, but we’ll find out together—live on stage.
You, the audience, decide which tool actually improves quality and productivity and which just adds noise instead of useful code. Bring your skepticism, cast your vote, and get ready for surprises.
