Conference keynote
Cut through the hype: discover the real impact of AI coding assistants on productivity, code quality, and how teams can harness them effectively. LLM-powered coding assistants have rapidly become part of the developer toolkit. While many practitioners report productivity gains, research presents a nuanced picture. This Byte Size event cuts through the noise to examine what these tools actually deliver in real-world settings. You'll hear from speakers who have implemented and evaluated AI coding assistants in Leeds-based teams, and you’ll leave with practical guidance you can apply tomorrow. We’ll explore: - The measurable impact on developer productivity and code quality - Best practices for maximizing value from these tools - How organisations can adapt workflows and structures to harness AI effectively - The practical challenges of code ownership and ongoing maintenance - Governance, licensing, and risk considerations when adopting AI coding assistants - A balanced view of benefits, limitations, and where these tools fit in software development strategy Speakers include Peter Whale, Programme Manager, UKTIN and Founder of Vision Formers, plus AI SIG champions, who bring hands-on experience from real projects. The session is sponsored by Appleyard Lees. Who should attend: software developers and engineers actively using or evaluating AI coding assistants; engineering managers and CTOs looking to optimise team productivity with AI tooling; technical leads shaping tool strategy; and anyone responsible for code quality or engineering workflows. Format: a concise, evidence-based discussion with short talks, live examples, and a Q&A, followed by optional networking with peers in Leeds. Date and venue: 25 February 2026, Leeds, UK (SIG Leeds). Registration is via the Cambridge Wireless event page: [Byte Size: Coding Me, Coding You: How AI Agents Are Transforming Software Development](https://www.cambridgewireless.co.uk/event-calendar/byte-size-coding-me-coding-you-how-ai-agents-are-transforming-software-development.html).

Learn vibe coding in a 1-day, in-person Leeds workshop using Replit to design and launch your first app — no prior vibe-coding experience required. Join Greenhouse for a focused, hands-on session that helps you move from curiosity to a working prototype in a single day, with practical guidance from two seasoned AI-focused trainers. This is a friendly, beginners-friendly environment designed to demystify vibe coding and show you how to turn ideas into real, runnable apps. What you’ll get - A clear understanding of the vibe-coding landscape and where it fits in modern AI/no-code workflows - Hands-on practice with vibe-coding tools (primarily Replit) to build end-to-end apps - Tips, tricks and best practices to accelerate your journey beyond the day - Real-world insights from two experienced trainers who regularly run AI workshops and host the AI Show ’n’ Tell series - A supportive, in-person learning environment that encourages questions and collaboration The day at a glance - 09:00 Arrive, grab a coffee & welcome from the trainers - 09:30 Welcome, overview of the day & introduction to vibe-coding - 10:30–12:00 Setup, design & start building - 12:00–13:00 Lunch (on-site) & informal Q&A - 13:00–15:00 Continue building, testing & refining your app - 15:00 Wrap-up and next steps Prerequisites and setup - A Replit account is required, and it’s recommended to create one in advance.
