Codurance x Matillion: AI-Powered Engineering Lightning Talks
AI-powered engineering is rapidly changing how software teams design, build, test and ship code. But beyond the hype, engineering leaders are now facing a much more practical question:
What does successful AI adoption actually look like inside real engineering teams?
Codurance is proud to partner with the Manchester Software Crafters community and Matillion, one of Manchester’s standout technology success stories, for a practical evening exploring the good, the bad and the ugly of AI-powered software delivery.
Rather than focusing on promises of “30x engineering” or the growing noise around AI, this session will explore what is happening on the ground through a series of short lightning talks and practical discussions led by experienced Principal Engineers from Codurance and Matillion.
They will explore:
Why craftsmanship, shared understanding, maintainable code and strong engineering guardrails are critical in the age of AI
What responsible AI-powered engineering looks like in practice, with real examples of how teams are adopting AI
Real-life examples of how to move faster without losing control of quality, security or architecture
What AI is actually changing inside engineering teams and where it's accelerating delivery, and where it is introducing risk
How AI is changing the way experienced and early-career engineers build, learn and make decisions
This session is designed for software engineers, technical leaders and anyone genuinely interested in how AI is reshaping software delivery in practice.
Expect a no-fluff, practical evening with real-world insight into how teams can use AI to move faster, while still building software that is clear, testable, maintainable, secure and aligned to real business needs.
Because in the AI era, speed alone is not enough. The real opportunity is using AI to help teams build software that is faster to deliver, easier to understand, safer to change and more valuable over time.
