Building a Senior Software Engineer in your local machine
Learn what it takes to build the capabilities of a Senior Software Engineer who could code (better than just solving Leetcode questions), navigate complex code repositories, make judgements, and follow existing code conventions and get this out to the world in different forms - as an extension on VSCode and an NPM Package ready to be used by users worldwide!
Key Takeaways:
1. Understand how to work with Generative AI more than just calling APIs. Move beyond calling OpenAI APIs for everything.
2. Explore agentic approaches to AI, enabling autonomous tasks within the codebase.
3. Learn integrating with development environments, and deploying as a production-ready tool using modern GenAI ways.
4. Equip AI with the ability to understand, traverse, and make judgments within large, intricate codebases, mimicking the skills of a seasoned developer.
5. Explore strategies for continuously evolving your AI tools to stay ahead of the curve in the rapidly advancing field of software development.
6. Gain insights into packaging and deploying AI-powered tools as reliable and scalable extensions and NPM packages, ready for use in production environments.
Where is the server in serverless?
Should you shift to serverless? What changes when you adapt serverless? The secrets of serverless served on a silver platter!
This session delves into the latest advancements in microservices architecture, exploring how cutting-edge technologies and practices are revolutionizing scalability, flexibility, and efficiency
It will explore the rise of serverless computing and its impact on microservices. It is how to leverage serverless architecture to enhance scalability and reduce operational overhead. It will feature real-world case studies demonstrating the successful implementation of serverless microservices.
The MCP Testing Revolution: Why mcp-jest Changes Everything
90% of MCP servers in production have zero tests. When they fail, companies lose millions. I built mcp-jest after watching a Fortune 500 deployment crash, taking down AI services for 50,000 users. This talk reveals how automated testing transforms MCP from gambling to engineering. Live coding: build a test suite detecting race conditions, memory leaks, and protocol violations in seconds. Watch snapshot testing catch OpenAI's breaking changes before deployment. See how Spotify-style chaos testing found bugs that manual QA missed for months. Case study: team reduced incidents 97% using mcp-jest, saving $2M yearly. From "works on my machine" to "guaranteed production-ready"- master the testing patterns that separate amateur MCP from enterprise-grade AI infrastructure.
MCP and the Future of Work: Augmentation vs Automation
One MCP deployment augmented 100 analysts to perform like 500. Another eliminated an entire department. The difference? Design choices that determine if AI amplifies or replaces humans. Through case studies from Fortune 500 deployments, discover the "augmentation spectrum" and why making AI "too easy" causes skill atrophy. See metrics showing 3x productivity with augmentation vs 10x efficiency but workforce anxiety with automation. Learn to design MCP systems that empower human creativity rather than obsolete it. The protocols we build today determine if tomorrow's workers are collaborators or spectators.
MCP Security: The Attack Vectors Nobody Talks About
Live hack demonstration: watch a prompt injection escalate to root access through MCP tool chaining. After analysing 1000+ MCP servers, I discovered 73% are vulnerable to attacks nobody's defending against. From resource exhaustion bringing down production systems to data leaks through error messages, this talk exposes critical vulnerabilities and their fixes. You'll see actual exploits: memory bombs via recursive tools, authentication bypasses in transport layers, and supply chain attacks through malicious servers. Leave with a security checklist that could save your company millions. Real incidents, real solutions, real code
