I've always loved creating things - designing systems, writing code, and shaping solutions by hand. So when AI tools started to dominate the conversation, I wasn't sure how they would fit into my world in a way that still let me do the parts I love most.
That question became real when I was tasked with evolving a large Laravel application towards an event-driven model. Faced with unfamiliar accounting concepts and event sourcing patterns, I turned to AI not to write code, but to help me learn, think, and explore.
In this talk, I'll share how AI became a valuable design partner as I navigated this architectural shift. From bridging domain gaps to shaping key decisions and incrementally evolving a live system, this is a practical story about integrating new tools without losing your craft.
Whether you're exploring event-driven design or curious about how AI can fit into your workflow, this talk offers practical lessons from a real-world journey.

This wasn't the talk I was expecting but was definitely the talk I needed. The use of AI as a tool for developing domain knowledge and technical knowledge, rather than simply vibe coding or grunt work, was something I hadn't considered.
Enjoyed this talk from Naomi. I leaned into this one for the AI to get a view of how everyone is applying it in their workflow and though it wasn't quite what I was expecting I still really enjoyed it. Liked the journey that was covered as Tillo moved towards event-driven architecture and felt the worked examples of event sourcing and how this was applied leveraging AI was really useful.
Thanks Naomi!
