Kickoff Night: Hello, Rockford.dev

Downtown Rockford · Rockford, IL

The first-ever Rockford Developers Guild meetup. We introduced ourselves, talked about what we want this group to be, and closed with a short talk on getting real work out of AI coding agents. Thirty-two developers showed up — not bad for night one in the Forest City.

Getting Real Work Out of AI Coding Agents

Priya Natarajan

Beyond the demos: how one team actually uses AI coding agents day to day — what they delegate, what they never delegate, and how their code review culture changed when half the diffs stopped being typed by hand.

Priya leads a platform team and has strong opinions about code review, most of them now directed at robots.
