Join us for Coding Karaoke: Expert vs AI, a live online event where we explore how developers are using AI to accelerate prototyping and problem solving. This isn’t a debate over man vs machine—it’s a look at how they work together.
We’ll kick things off with a Q&A featuring Nathan Chung, Software Engineer at TikTok, who will share insights from his work, thoughts on AI in development, and what skills matter most when building modern software.
Then, Randy Gulak, Software Development Instructor at Circuit Stream, will take the mic for a live, interactive demo—rapidly prototyping a music visualizer web app using AI tools. You'll see in real time how developers use AI like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot to go from idea to working code—and where human judgment still leads the way.
