Can AI make you a better developer? Let's find out!

 

AI is transforming software development, but how effective is AI-powered coding in real-world scenarios? Join Codurance’s invite-only AI Hackathon to put AI-assisted development to the test!

 

This is your chance to:
✅ Gain hands-on experience with AI-powered coding tools
✅ Compete in a live coding challenge with and without AI assistance
✅ Measure the impact of AI on code quality, speed, and developer experience
✅ Network with top engineers and AI enthusiasts

 

 

How it works

  • Participants will be divided into teams and given the same coding challenge
  • Half the teams will use AI coding assistants, while the other half must rely on traditional coding
  • At the end, teams will compare results, share insights, and discuss AI’s role in modern software engineering

💡 Try out your favourite AI tool(s) from GitHub Co-Pilot, Cursor AI, AWS CodeWhisperer, JetBrains AI Assistant, Tabnine, and more!

 

 

Who should join?

 

This event is invite-only and aimed at mid-level or senior software engineers with some experience using AI coding tools. Whether you're a sceptic or an AI advocate, come put your skills—and AI—to the test!

To participate, you just need to bring your own laptop with your favourite AI developer tool installed.
