The software development lifecycle is being fundamentally reshaped by AI — from ideation and architecture to coding, testing, and deployment. In this hands-on workshop, attendees will walk through the modern AI-powered SDLC: how to leverage foundation models and AI coding assistants at every stage, where humans remain essential, and how startups and lean teams can ship production-grade software 10x faster.
