RoboCoders: Judgment Day – AI IDEs Face Off

Can AI-powered IDEs take software development to the next level? Unlike traditional code assistants that provide suggestions or guidance, AI-driven IDEs like Cursor and Windsurf promise to act as full-fledged agents capable of handling entire workflows. In this live showdown, we’re putting that promise to the test by challenging these tools to build a smart light bulb controller—something we’ve never developed before.From setting up the project and implementing features to testing, debugging, and optimizing, the AI will take the reins. This isn’t about helping—it’s about doing. The audience will decide the winner based on how well the tools perform and, of course, whether the demo actually works.Join us to see if AI IDEs can deliver on their bold promise of transforming development, or if they’re just another stepping stone on the path to something bigger.

Baruch Sadogursky (@jbaruch) did Java before it had generics, DevOps before there was Docker, and DevRel before it had a name. He started DevRel at JFrog when it was ten people and took it all the way to a successful $6B IPO by helping engineers solve problems. Now Baruch keeps helping engineers solve problems but also helps companies help engineers solve problems. He is a co-author of the "Liquid Software" and "DevOps Tools for Java Developers" books, Java Champion and CNCF Ambassador alumni, serves on multiple conference program committees, and regularly speaks at numerous most prestigious industry conferences, including Kubecon, JavaOne (RIP), Devoxx, QCon, DevRelCon, DevOpsDays (all over), DevOops (not a typo) and others.
