Eyes on AI: Inside the World of Observability and Evaluation
The future of AI depends on visibility and feedback. This talk explores how observability and evaluation converge to create accountable, data-driven AI systems — transforming black-box models into transparent, continuously learning products.
Vibe Coding: Building Production-Grade Software
Science fiction has finally become reality — developers no longer need to spend endless hours writing code line by line or wrestling with syntax. Instead, they can describe what they want and see it come to life through collaboration with AI. Welcome to the era of Vibe Coding — where intent, creativity, and flow matter more than syntax and syntax errors.
In this session, we explore how AI-assisted development is transforming the way we build software. This isn’t just about faster coding — it’s about fundamentally reimagining the craft of software development. As AI takes on the mechanics, developers are free to focus on creativity, design, and problem-solving at a higher level. Whether you’re an engineer, a technical leader, or simply curious about the next frontier of software creation, this session will offer a glimpse into how we can all thrive in this new era where humans and AI co-create the future of technology.
