F**kup Night: AI-Native Across 150 Engineers. Here's What Broke artwork

/ About this event

Everyone is posting about 10x AI productivity. Nobody is posting about the six months of mess in between.

We at Ardas moved a 150-engineer organisation to agent-assisted development. Some of it worked. A lot of it didn't, at first. And the parts that failed were not the parts we expected.

An unfiltered session on what actually breaks: the workflows that collapsed, the code review process that stopped working, the metrics that lied to us, and the people problems nobody warns you about.

For engineering leaders currently attempting the same thing. Come with your own war stories, we'll trade them.

Hosted by Andrii Ryzhokhin, CEO of Ardas.

Ardas is an AI-first engineering partner for custom SaaS and scaling software products. We help teams move AI into production — including the messy part nobody puts in the demo.
