I spent the day with the forefront of developers building the next generation of software with and for AI at AI Native Dev DevCon

Over 5000 technologists were surveyed and this statistic shocked me: Only 39% have used an AI agent to autonomously write code. I'm here with the lead of DORA at Google talking about AI-assisted development.

Qualities that make a team perform well without AI are also the things that make a team perform well with AI

The first week of #DEVcember, we're making a list (and checking it twice) and exploring the Gemini CLI workflow. Join us December 2 at 9am PT for our kickoff livestream on building your entire AI workflow using Gemini CLI → goo.gle/49J1Wrm

🎁 Making a list (and visualizing it) twice. Watch Billy Jacobson generate a "festive flat lay" of his holiday shopping list inside the terminal using the Nano Banana extension 🍌 See it in action and watch the full #DEVcember livestream, here → goo.gle/48jfOr3

Build a multiplayer game from your terminal! Billy Jacobson shows how to vibe code a holiday village and deploy it with real-time syncing using the /𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚎𝚋𝚊𝚜𝚎 𝚒𝚗𝚒𝚝 command in Gemini CLI. From local script to live URL in minutes → goo.gle/3KMoSM8 #DEVcember
