Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been coding for years, this hands-on session will demonstrate how to leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) thoughtfully to improve your development process. We’ll build a real small application together, exploring how AI can assist at every stage – from initial design to deployment.

What You’ll Learn:
• Choose wisely: Learn which AI tools to use for different development tasks
• Design clearly: Use AI to refine UI/UX decisions and improve copy
• Code efficiently: Develop effective prompt engineering skills for real coding tasks
• Debug systematically: Apply AI for practical troubleshooting and optimization
• Build thoughtfully: Learn when and how to use AI for architecture decisions

I’ll use Phoenix/Elixir for the demo, but the AI techniques you’ll learn are language-agnostic and applicable to any tech stack. This isn’t about replacing developers – it’s about augmenting your existing skills.

Perfect for:
✓ Beginners looking to build good habits early
✓ Experienced devs wanting to optimize their workflow
✓ Anyone interested in practical AI applications in coding

Join me to learn how to make AI a practical part of your development toolkit!
