The Open Discussion↓

When writing code becomes easier, what becomes more important?

Join us for an open conversation about what this shift means for students and professionals. We’ll explore how the developer’s role is changing, where AI agents can help, and why understanding the applications we build still matters.

For students, we’ll discuss the foundations worth learning, how to demonstrate your skills in an AI-assisted project, and how cloud knowledge can support your first steps into tech. For professionals, we’ll explore how to evaluate AI-generated work, decide what to delegate, and keep quality, security, and maintainability in view.

We’ll also connect the conversation to AWS: what does it take to move from generated code to an application that runs reliably in the cloud?
Bring your questions, experiments, and lessons learned. Whether you’re building your first project or maintaining production systems, your perspective belongs in the conversation.

Our first official meetup 🎉
This event marks the official launch of AWS User Group Bochum! Melody Egwuchukwu will introduce the community, share its vision, and unveil our new logo.

Whether you’re searching for your first internship, building applications professionally, or simply curious about AI and AWS, come meet others who are learning, building, and asking similar questions. You’ll also have the chance to share ideas for future meetups and help shape the community from the beginning.
