Leading LLMs - A structured approach to building quality software with AI
AI dramatically accelerates software development, but how it is used often compromises quality and structure. Without a clear process, AI-generated code can become inconsistent and difficult to maintain.
In my recent work, I've been developing a way to use AI to write high-quality, well-tested, and high-performing code really fast. This approach is inspired by my work building PimDB, a browser-based persisted in-memory database. In this talk, we'll explore a structured process to empower teams to leverage AI to tackle complex projects with incredible velocity without compromising on quality.
We'll cover:
- API design and architecture
- Writing tests
- Performance benchmarking
- Writing documentation
- Implementation and optimization
Attendees will gain practical strategies for using AI to write maintainable, reliable code at AI speed—without compromising on quality.
