I’ll walk through the architecture, the role of the knowledge base and memory layer, where vibe coding helped, where it created confusion, and the practical checkpoints I now use to stay in control of the development process. ​ Attendees will leave with a realistic framework for using AI coding tools to move faster without becoming disconnected from the systems they are building. • ​8:10 pm: Networking • ​9:00 pm: End of event Event Sponsor • ​Apify Code of Conduct ​Please review and agree to adhere to our Code of Conduct to participate in our community.
