Ločniškar shared how his team was given effectively unlimited access to Codex tokens and, over the past few months, adopted an aggressive AI-first approach across much of their workflow and operations. The presentation offered a rare and practical look into how software engineering teams at large corporations that have fully embraced LLM-driven development actually operate day to day. + +The Ruby meetup audience, traditionally somewhat skeptical of the AI wave, responded with many thoughtful and critical questions. Ločniškar himself appeared to share several of these concerns, particularly around security and the risks of giving autonomous agents too much freedom. At the same time, the discussion made it clear that attitudes are gradually shifting. Coding automation is increasingly becoming a reality that is difficult to completely dismiss or ignore. + +A similar theme continued in a talk by Črnivec, who shared his impressions from a recent Ruby conference in Vienna ([RubyConf AT]). Once again, AI dominated the conversation. His main takeaway was the uneasy atmosphere surrounding the topic. Speakers oscillated between ecstatic enthusiasm and outright doom-and-gloom predictions, sometimes within the very same panel discussion. What programming (and with it the Ruby community) will look like in the near future remains uncertain, and that uncertainty is creating a strange mix of excitement, confusion, and anxiety. + +One of the speakers at the Vienna conference, [Ljubomir Marković], also presented at the meetup. His talk, _The Humble Event Bus: Building Safe Concurrency in Ruby_, took a more theoretical direction, exploring concurrency and domain-driven design through the lens of event-driven architecture. + +As always, the meetup continued long after the talks had ended. Everyone gathered for drinks afterwards, with the table splitting between the conservative majority enjoying a standard lager and the more adventurous minority sampling raspberry-infused local craft beer. Most of the group eventually continued the evening over plates of delicious čevapčiči, a beloved barbecue staple across the wider region, while conversations about Ruby, LLMs, and the mysteries of the human soul carried on late into the night. + +## Photos + +
