Slop-Driven Development - A Guest Session Hosted by Vonage

We're delighted to be partnering with Vonage for our next Software Crafters Manchester meetup, taking place at the stunning Campfield in Manchester!

Supporting over 100,000 businesses worldwide, Vonage empowers developers and organisations to create smarter, more connected digital experiences.

About the Session: Slop-Driven Development
The year is 2026. We were promised hoverboots. That did not become the world we live in. The world we live in is teaching every developer that they must be an influencer of some sort, for some reason, and AI has arrived to help us do it.

Join James Seconde, Senior Developer Advocate at Vonage, on a quite frankly ridiculous journey, as he delves into the world of attempting to look at the top of your game, while actually showing everyone that you believe Arrays start at 1.

Expect an engaging discussion about AI, engineering culture and what it really takes to build trust in an increasingly AI-driven world.

Pizza, networking and great conversations!
As always, there'll be plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow software engineers, developers and technology enthusiasts from across Manchester.

A huge thank you to Vonage for supporting the community and providing pizza and treats for everyone attending!

Whether you're a regular at Software Crafters Manchester or joining us for the first time, we'd love to see you there as this session is open to all levels!
