AI is fundamentally changing what it means to be a strong developer. Tasks that once took hours can now be completed in minutes—but only if you know how to use AI effectively. The real challenge is learning how to accelerate your growth without sacrificing deep understanding, judgment, and technical intuition along the way.
In this session, Ran Aroussi—CEO of Automaze, creator of MUXI, and author of Production-Grade Agentic AI—explores how developers can use AI as a force multiplier on their path from junior to senior and beyond. You'll learn a staged progression model for integrating AI into your workflow, the critical distinction between knowledge AI can compress and knowledge you must earn, and a practical framework for AI-augmented development.
