AI Coding Workshop

​Join us for a deep, hands-on session with Evgeny Potapov, Co-Founder & CEO of ApexData — a US/Armenian developer-focused observability startup working with clients across the Bay Area and EU.

​Evgeny previously founded ITSumma, one of the first and largest DevOps & SRE companies in Russia, serving 400+ clients worldwide. With 20 years in DevOps, SRE, and software engineering, he brings a unique “from the trenches” perspective on how AI is reshaping development.

​

​Today, AI coding tools evolve faster than anyone can track. Cursor, once revolutionary, is now racing to catch up with Claude Code — and the way top teams use Claude Code has radically transformed in just the last 1–2 months.

​

​This workshop is your shortcut into the newest generation of AI-first development. No need to spend weeks experimenting — we’ll break down what actually works.

​

​What you’ll learn

​

​– The evolution of AI-first development: from ChatGPT hints to near-autonomous coding with Claude Code & Codex

​– Why Cursor is losing the race — and what makes Claude Code + Codex CLI fundamentally different

​– Deep dive into Claude Code: planning, debugging, TDD-first workflows, subagents, Anthropic Skills, and the SuperPowers plugin

​– The YOLO (“You Only Live Once”) method for building side-projects autonomously

​– Live workshop: developing and modifying an app using the newest AI-driven techniques

​Expect a practical, fast-paced session full of real tools, real workflows, and real coding — not theory.
