7 Ways You Can Build an Amazing Dev Career in the AI Era

**Note special location: Intuit, 8 Spadina Ave, 19th Floor** **7 Ways You Can Build an Amazing Dev Career in the AI Era** Are you also wondering where you fit in all of this? Every day, you are bombarded with claims that AI will transform software development. Is this an unprecedented opportunity or an existential threat? After more than 30 years in the software industry, I've seen technologies create opportunities, destroy opportunities, and completely reshape careers. Yet... there are always professionals who seem to thrive regardless of the changes happening around them. Why do some become more valuable... while others struggle? This presentation will face the myths around AI head-on and explore how you can create opportunities in the age of AI... instead of being afraid and scrambling to keep up. Because the future may belong to those who understand something deeper than technology itself... **About the venue** Intuit has generously offered to host Toronto JUG in their downtown office at The Well. They will provide some food and drinks. **Speaker Bio** Since 1995, Bruno has been helping Java developers advance their careers and work on exciting projects.

Google Agentic AI Builder Lab - Toronto

**Important Notes:** Register on the [AICamp](https://www.aicamp.ai/event/eventdetails/W2026100715) is required for admission. RSVP on meetup is turned off. Building Next Gen Autonomous Agentic Systems with Google - Toronto Join Google and AICamp for an intensive, in-person build lab where theory translates directly into functional software. Most AI tutorials stop at simple single-turn prompts, but scalable systems require autonomous agents that reason over live data, manage persistent context, and execute complex multi-step tasks. In this hands-on workshop, you will step beyond conversational interfaces to architect, configure, and deploy next-generation autonomous agentic systems using Google Cloud. Bring your laptop! This is an active engineering session with zero local setup required. You will leave with a fully functioning system running in your cloud environment. **What We'll Do:** * Autonomous Task Orchestration: Configure multi-step agent workflows that plan, reason, and act across complex task flows. * State & Tool Integration: Connect agent architectures to cloud tools, execution environments, and live datasets. * Resilient System Design: Implement robust patterns built to manage complex runtime inputs, long-running processes, and error recovery. **Agenda:** \- 5:00pm\~5:30pm: Checkin\, food and networking \- 5:30pm\~7:30pm: Hands\-on workshop/Code labs \- 7:30pm\~8:00pm: Build your own projects \- 8:00pm\~8:30pm: Demo\, Open discussion and Mixer **Hands-on Workshop: Building Resilient Asynchronous Agents** Moving beyond conversational chatbots requires systems that do more than predict the next token. Real-world autonomous architectures must plan multi-step operations, interface with external tools, maintain state across asynchronous operations, and recover cleanly from runtime failures. In this intensive 90-minute, in-person masterclass, you will move directly into active engineering. Working entirely inside Google Cloud Shell, you will build and deploy a next-generation autonomous agentic system from the ground up—wiring dynamic tool calling, state management, and resilient multi-step orchestration into a cohesive, runnable architecture. No slides, no abstract theory, and zero local setup required. Bring your laptop, build alongside Google engineers, and leave with a fully functional autonomous system running live in the cloud. **Sponsors:** We are actively seeking sponsors to support AI developers community. Whether it is by offering venue spaces, providing food, or cash sponsorship. Sponsors will not only speak at the meetups, receive prominent recognition, but also gain exposure to our extensive membership base of 10,000+ AI developers in Toronto or 500K+ worldwide.

Mob Programming

Let’s do some coding together at a cafe! No more working alone in the weekend. Here, we write code together. And I mean together together. Not occupying-the-same-space-but-separate together. Here’s how it works: Jennifer brings her mobile app project, tells everyone that it is like Pinterest for recipes and she’d like to work on the nav bar. Paul and Chloe think Jennifer's project is fascinating, and they join the group. They gather around Jennifer’s laptop and work on the nav bar for 2 hours. Jennifer is the one typing out the code while Paul and Chloe research, brainstorm, and offer suggestions. If you’re feeling stuck on your own project or need a motivation boost, bring it to mob programming! Want to learn by watching how others code and solve problems? Join someone else’s project at this event! Oh and we love your half-done projects that you are a bit embarrassed to share. Absolutely bring those to the event! **Discord**: We use Discord to share screen & code snippets during the event. Also feel free to share your projects here before the event! https://discord.gg/xwjDdVSw3E **Event policy**: * We have 0 tolerance for harassment. * We don’t allow the projects that are not meant to be shared in public such as school assignments, interview tasks, or trade secrets. * The goal is to write code. We discourage you from pitching business ideas here, doing code reviews, or spending the whole event on planning what to do.
