==================================
Talk 1 (Lightning Talk): Git Worktrees: Embrace the ADD by Patrick Reagan
Description: Did you ever think "What if I tried this thing that just popped into my brain?" while working on something totally unrelated but couldn't? Git worktrees solves that problem by allowing you to create infinite unfinished tasks instead of just one. I'll show how to use worktrees effectively for context switching and employing AI agents on independent features.
Bio: Patrick is a Senior Software Developer at TestFit (https://www.testfit.io/)
==================================
Talk 2: Deferred understanding: double loop TDD as a technique for raising design decisions by Matthew Weitzel
Description: Matthew will explore classic TDD approaches and then speak to some of the nuances that are relevant in this Brave New World of word vomiting machines generating code for us.
Bio: Particularly human. Fond of hard-to-articulate things. Platform and Engineering Lead at DataJoint.
