AI coding tools like Claude Code and OpenAI Codex are powerful amplifiers of existing developer skill. But exactly how far can you take them? Spencer took a different approach: he ran AI agents overnight, letting them tackle complex problems while he slept, for both paid projects (that netted over USD$100k in revenue!) as well as some fun side projects.

In this session, Spencer will share the lessons he learned from pushing AI coding agents to their limits. We'll discuss how to structure prompts and tasks for long-running agent sessions, how to set up your projects so agents can work autonomously, and how to review and validate AI-generated code so you're not shipping garbage. We'll also cover the practical, everyday techniques that make you a more effective AI-assisted developer, whether you're using these tools for five minutes or five hours.

If you've been curious about AI coding tools but haven't figured out how to make them truly productive, this session will give you a roadmap. Come ready to learn how to put AI agents to work - even while you're off the clock.
