Dev café : ai brain fry
How can software teams keep pace with AI without burning out ?
About this event
AI is reshaping software development faster than anyone planned for. New models, new tools, new practices, cycles now measured in weeks. The opportunity is real. So is the pressure on the people expected to absorb it.
Continuous learning has become part of the job itself. Productivity expectations keep rising, fuelled by ambitious promises about what AI should deliver. The question nobody asks out loud: can teams actually keep up?
Between cognitive overload and cognitive dissonance, AI has amplified problems that were already there. This dev café brings research, psychology, workplace prevention and day-to-day experience around one table. The question: how can software companies adopt AI without burning their teams in a race for hyper-efficiency ?
The goal isn't to slow innovation down. It's to make it sustainable for the people driving it.
What we'll dig into
how continuous AI acceleration affects cognitive load, wellbeing and the ability to learn
when AI-enabled productivity tips into unsustainable pressure
whether productivity expectations match the human reality of software teams
what the warning signs of AI-related overload actually look like
what companies can concretely do differently
Who's in the room
Developers and AI engineers. CTOs and engineering leaders. HR and team leads in digital companies. Researchers and students.
Deliberately mixed, deliberately small. Overload isn't experienced the same way by the person living it and the person supposed to spot it. Forty seats, so the conversation stays honest.
