AI Won't Wait for You: The New Reality of Development

Session Abstract

While you debate whether to use AI, your competitors are shipping faster. The developers thriving today aren't the ones resisting change—they're the ones who've made AI their coding partner. This session is a wake-up call and a practical guide. We'll explore how AI tools like GitHub Copilot, Claude, and Cursor are transforming Power Platform development—from writing Dataverse plugins and PCF components to generating Terraform configurations and unit tests. Through live demos, you'll see how AI-assisted development compresses hours into minutes and how the right prompts unlock productivity you didn't think possible. This isn't about replacing developers. It's about amplifying them. The question isn't whether AI will change how we build—it's whether you'll be ready when it does.
