Product Managers\, UI/UX Designers\, Security Engineers\, QA Engineers\ , etc). If you're unsure whether you're qualified to attend\, please get in touch.\n\nThis event is being held at Tokyo Innovation Base (TiB). Whe n attending it\, you'll also need to complete the free registration proce ss with TiB if you have not already done so. You are strongly encouraged to complete this in advance\, as otherwise you'll need to complete it on site before you're allowed into the venue.\n\nAgenda\n\n18:30 〜 19:00 D oors open\n\nEnjoy talking with the other participants before the present ations begin. Drinks and a light meal will be provided by TokyoDev.\n\n19 :00 〜 19:05 Opening - Paul McMahon \n\nWe'll kick things off by welcomi ng everyone and giving a short introduction of the event.\n\n19:05 〜 19 :30 The Productivity Tradeoffs of Onboarding in a New Language with AI — Paulo D'Alberti\n\nFor most of my career\, I've used Ruby as my prima ry programming language. But when I joined Kraken six months ago\, I had to switch to Python—a language I had no experience with. Rather than st udying the language first\, I dove in immediately\, relying heavily on LL Ms that allowed me to be productive from day one. But was that a good ide a? In this presentation\, I'll reflect on that decision and share the les sons I learned along the way.\n\nPaulo D'Alberti (Software Engineer at Kr aken)\n\nPaulo is a backend developer\, and an active member of various t ech communities both online and offline. Outside of tech\, he’s passion ate about the colour orange\, and European medieval martial arts - where he dons functional replicas of historical armour and fights with rattan a nd steel weapons\n\n19:40 〜 20:05 Agentic Prompt and Context Engineeri ng: Let the LLM Write the Prompts — Andrew Daley \n\nAs nearly every co mpany in the world begins to integrate AI into their business\, and as we all grow accustomed to constantly prompting LLMs\, the cutting edge is m oving past the manual prompting of LLMs and can now automate and optimize the prompting step itself.\n\nIn this talk\, we examine two new approach es out of Stanford in the past couple years\, DSPy and ACE. These tools a llow us to create self-improving\, self-prompting AI programs so that we can treat prompts less like strings\, and more like we do code. Parameter ized classes and modules. Version control and optimization. Portability a cross vendors. These are all core software development principles any eng ineer understands the value of\, now just a few lines of Python away.\n\n No more massive walls of text. No more "prompt engineering". Just define your task and goal\, and let the LLM prompt and optimize itself. \n\nAn drew Daley (Applied AI Product Manager at Yoii)\n\nAndrew started his car eer in Texas doing recruiting and sales\, but pivoted to Data Science and completed his Master's in Analytics at Georgia Tech University. After ti me as a Data Scientist and General Manager in the Tokyo EdTech industry\, he now works as an Applied AI Product Manager at Yoii\, a startup growth capital firm in Tokyo providing non-traditional financing to other start ups with the goal of increasing startup liquidity in our market. \n\n20:0 5 〜 20:45 Open Networking\n\nDiscuss the presentation or anything else with the other attendees.\n\nWant to speak at a future event?\n\nWe're lo oking for speakers. You can find more details and submit a proposal here. \n\nAbout TokyoDev\n\nTokyoDev's job board is filled with software develo per positions at Japanese companies whose engineering team’s primary la nguage is English. From the big companies you’ve already heard of\, to smaller up-and-coming startups\, our positions offer you the chance to li ve in Japan but work in an international environment.\n\nCode of Conduct\ n\nAll attendees\, speakers\, sponsors and volunteers at our event are re quired to agree with the following code of conduct.
