Amazon CodeWhisperer is an AI coding companion that generates real-time code recommendations in your Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to help you quickly build software.

CodeWhisperer is trained on billions of lines of code and can generate code suggestions ranging from snippets to full functions, based on your comments and existing code

Tim Couper is the Chief Architect at 1EdTech with 20+ years of software and infrastructure development across a wide range of industries, including Telecommunications, Pharmaceuticals, and Education.

Developer Experience is more than just documentation, static types, and feedback loops. It’s about, well, people. The type of person who enjoys a challenge for that warm fuzzy reward of telling their friends about what they’ve created and at the same time are highly skeptical of appearing to sell to them. So what’s the secret to doing this well? Taz will be talking about his Developer Experience and the key lessons learnt along the way.

With everything moving to the cloud, why haven’t our development environments? In fact, they already have!

With CDEs (Cloud Development Environments) you get all the power of the cloud: elasticity, scale and security, but for your dev environment.

Gitpod’s “Dedicated” deployment model enables companies sensitive code and access to never leave their cloud account perimiter.

Building on Jim’s intro to CodeWhisperer, Lou will give a 101 on CDEs and how architectural deployment models like Gitpod Dedicated can accelerate the adoption of Generative AI in an organisational setting by resolving many of the security, audit, privacy and data concerns.

Join us also after the talk to dig into the intersection of CDEs and Generative AI over a drink or two!
