  AI coding tools can speed up prototyping and turn ideas into reality faster, but they also can create a real mess. At the same time, velocity expectations are changing for engineering leaders, and building a culture where developers feel safe to experiment with these tools can help keep up. 

What safeguards can you put in place to make sure these experiments don’t fail catastrophically? And how do you establish a safe environment to experiment without fear of failure? Join this expert panel to discuss.
