Talk: Dennis Nerush - "10x Engineering: How GenAI Tools Transformed My Team's Productivity", AI Coding Summit 2025
What happens when generative AI isn't just a buzzword but a real engineering teammate? Over the past year, I've led my engineering team through a radical shift-integrating GenAI tools and building our own custom AI-powered solutions. The result? We've multiplied productivity, cut delivery times, and unlocked new creative workflows that were impossible before.
In this talk, I'll share real-world examples of how we use tools like Cursor and Devin, as well as custom-built AI integrations, to speed up coding, automate testing, improve documentation, and even resolve complex bugs in minutes. I'll break down the process changes that made AI adoption successful-how we rewired our workflows, onboarded the team, and learned to "pair program" with AI effectively.
Expect practical lessons and battle-tested insights: what worked brilliantly, what failed (and why), and the cultural shifts needed to make GenAI a force multiplier instead of just another shiny tool. Whether you're a team lead, engineer, or product builder, you'll walk away with actionable ideas to supercharge your own team using GenAI-without losing the human touch that drives great engineering.
