AI coding agents are changing how software is built, promising faster delivery, greater productivity and new ways of working. But as teams increasingly adopt these tools, an important question remains: **How do we move faster without compromising software quality?** Join us for our next **Software Crafters Bristol meetup**, on Wednesday 25th November (6-8pm), hosted at **Accenture's offices**, for an engaging panel discussion exploring the practical realities of using AI coding agents in modern software development. Our panel, featuring senior engineering leaders from Accenture and Codurance will share their experiences, challenges and lessons learned from working with coding agents, discussing where they genuinely add value, where human expertise remains essential and how teams can balance speed with maintainability, security and sound engineering practices. **What we'll explore:** * How coding agents are changing everyday software development * Where AI genuinely improves developer productivity * Maintaining code quality, security and long-term maintainability * The evolving role of developers in an AI-assisted world * Practical lessons from adopting coding agents in real-world projects Whether you're already experimenting with coding agents or exploring how they might fit into your development workflow, this session offers an opportunity to exchange ideas, challenge assumptions and learn from fellow software professionals. **Pizza, Drinks & Networking** As always, there'll be plenty of opportunities to connect with the Bristol software craftsmanship community over pizza and drinks. Pizza will be sponsored by Codurance, with Accenture kindly providing the event space and drinks. **Accessibility** We're committed to making our events as inclusive and accessible as possible. If you have any accessibility requirements, please let us know in advance by emailing **[uk-marketing@codurance.com](mailto:uk-marketing@codurance.com)**, and we'll do our best to accommodate yo
