OpenAI | She Bytes Back: What Happens to Engineering When Agents Write the Code?
📅 Tuesday 27th October | 🕠 17:30 - 21:00 | 🍕 Food & drinks on us | 🚨 Curated guest list prioritising experienced software engineers
It feels like agents have truly taken over this year. They can write the code, review PRs, debug problems, and increasingly take work from idea to implementation.
Which leaves us to question what happens to engineering when writing the code is no longer the hardest part?
She Bytes Back is teaming up with OpenAI for an evening exploring how agentic tools are changing the way engineering teams work from how teams organise and collaborate, to what these workflows actually look like in practice, and where human taste, judgement and experience become even more important.
Expect three short talks that will get into agents in practice, what stays human, and what changes when agents become part of the team.
We'll finish with an open Q&A which will be your chance to ask the questions that don't always make it into the AI conversation.
The agenda:
5:30 PM - Doors open, drinks & nibbles
6:30 PM - Welcome from She Bytes Back + OpenAI
6:40 PM - Three talks
7:25 PM - Open Q&A
8:00 PM - Food + networking
9:00 PM - Close
This is an approval-only event. We're prioritising software engineers with 5+ years of industry experience to keep the room technical, experienced and genuinely useful for everyone in it.
