Context is King #3 - Practical Application of Rules vs Skills in AI-Driven Development

Welcome to Context is King #3, where leading engineers shared how AI coding agents actually work in production. After sold-out editions in Helsinki and San Francisco, this event looked into one of the hardest problems in applied AI: context engineering. Building a prototype with AI is easy, but getting agents to navigate large, legacy codebases, respect architecture, and produce reliable pull requests is a different challenge entirely. In this series, you’ll see real-world implementations, live demos, and practical lessons from teams working at the frontier. In this session, Olena Babenko from Aiven explores the practical application of rules vs skills in AI-driven development.
