Build It. Break It. Fix It. — A Hands-On Guide to AI-Powered Coding

The pitch is simple.

We're going to build a complete SaaS application using AI — live, on stage, in 30 minutes.

Then we're going to tear it apart.

We'll show you every security hole, every architectural shortcut, every missing test, and every hardcoded secret that the AI left behind. The things that look fine on the surface but will break your product the moment real users show up.

Then we'll show you how to fix it.

Who is this for?

This workshop is for anyone who has built — or is thinking about building — software using AI coding tools like Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, v0, or Replit.

You might be:

A founder who's built an MVP with AI and is getting ready to launch

An entrepreneur exploring whether AI tools can bring your idea to life

A product manager who wants to understand what AI-generated code actually looks like under the hood

A builder who's curious about AI-assisted development but wants the honest version, not the hype

If you've ever wondered whether your AI-generated code is actually production-ready, this event will answer that question definitively.

What you'll experience

Live Build: Zero to MVP (30 mins)

Watch us build a fully functional web application from scratch using AI coding tools. In real time. No pre-recorded demos. No slides. You'll see exactly how fast these tools can move — and why that speed is both their superpower and their danger.

The Reveal: What's Hiding Underneath

We flip to the code. This is the moment that changes how you think about AI-generated software. We'll walk through the security vulnerabilities, the missing validation, the architectural debt, and the zero test coverage that the AI created without telling you. If you've shipped AI-generated code, you'll recognise your own codebase in this session.

Live Audit: A Real Codebase on Stage

We'll take a real codebase — submitted by an attendee — and run a preliminary security and architecture audit live. No rehearsal. You'll see exactly what a professional code review looks like and the kinds of issues that hide in plain sight.

Practical Takeaways: Build Smarter with AI

This isn't anti-AI. We use AI tools every day. But there's a difference between using them well and using them blind. You'll leave with actionable techniques for prompting better, checking smarter, and knowing exactly when to bring in an engineer.
