The IDE as the New AI Command Center | Open Source Discussion
Join RocketRide's launch event featuring a panel discussion on IDE-native AI development, live demos, and the release of our first open-source project. You'll leave with practical insights on building AI pipelines directly in your editor and early access to tools you can use immediately.
Panel Discussion
The Future of IDE-Native AI Development: Hear from builders rethinking how AI workflows integrate with development. We'll cover why the IDE is becoming the central orchestration layer, real production patterns, trade-offs between different approaches, and where tooling goes next. Bring your questions, this is a conversation, not a lecture.
Panelist lineup:
Rod Christensen - Chief Architect at RocketRide
Alexy Khrabrov - Open-source Scientist CR4AI
Hendrik Krack - Developer Advocate at CodeRabbit
Edward Irby - Senior Software Developer at You.com
Keynote Speakers
Aaron Jimenez, mechatronics engineer and Developer Experience Engineer, will take the stage to explore the future of UX and UI. Expect a forward-looking conversation on how AI is redefining the way users interact with products and what the next generation of interfaces will demand from builders.
Roan Weigert, DevRel AI engineer and open-source contributor, will speak about the future of data, AI pipelines, and agentic workflows. He will cover how autonomous agents are reshaping software development and why orchestrating AI directly from your development environment is becoming the new standard.
