git commit -m "I didn't write this"
by Jackson M Tomlinson and Ben Bakken | at Minnebar20
For the past year, AI tools have fundamentally changed how I write software. In this session, I'll live-build something from scratch using the AI-powered development workflow I use every day — no slides, no deck, just a terminal and 40 minutes on the clock.
Whether you're a seasoned dev curious about AI-assisted workflows or a skeptic who wants to see it break, come watch and find out how far we can get.
Jackson M Tomlinson
Jackson has been exchanging keystrokes for cash for 20 years. As principal at {middle/out}, a software consultancy based in Minnetonka he builds web, mobile, and AI-enabled applications for enterprise clients. By night he burns the rest of tokens building home automation, life automation, and 11+ active projects.
Ben Bakken
Ben Bakken has spent over three decades building, designing, and keeping enterprise software running in the real world—where things break, scale, and matter. As a partner at 20x20 Solutions, Ben works with organizations of all sizes to cut through whatever briar patch gets in the way—helping teams actually use whatever tools and resources they have available and stay focused on outcomes and effects.
Previously, Ben was Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Bangstate Inc., led application development at Allston Trading, and served as Director of Engineering for Samsung SmartThings during a massive global IoT launch. He also scaled backend systems at Redbrick Health through hypergrowth.
