🍻 BDD Live: Beer, Pizza, and the Future of Software Devs
About
We’re taking Beer Driven Devs out of the podcast feed and into the real world.BDD Live is a small, informal get-together for software folks who enjoy a good conversation, a decent beer, and asking uncomfortable questions about the industry we work in. No stage, no slides, no sales pitch. Just people, pizza, and pints - and a bit of structured chaos.
This is our first ever live event, and we’re intentionally keeping it small. Think pub chat, not conference. Expect roughly 20 people, give or take.
🧠The Question
We’ll kick things off with a lightweight panel discussion around one big question:
Is there a future career for software developers in the age of AI?
This isn’t a debate to “solve” AI, and it’s definitely not a hype session. We’re more interested in:
- What actually feels different right now
- What skills still matter (and which ones might not)
- Where developers fit when tools get smarter
- Whether this is just another shift… or something genuinely new
The panel is there to start the conversation, not dominate it. Audience participation is very much encouraged.
🍕🍺 The Important Stuff
- Beer and pizza provided
- Completely informal
- Come as you are. Juniors, seniors, managers, burnt-out veterans, curious lurkers all welcome
Because the venue has limited space, this is a free but ticketed event. If you grab a ticket, please actually plan to come so we can offer spots fairly.
If you listen to the podcast, argue with your IDE, or just want to talk shop with other humans instead of Slack, we’d love to see you there.
Cheers 🍻
Note: We may record or live stream parts of the night
