About this event
Welcome to the Edinburgh
JS November Meetup! We'll be meeting on **Tuesday 17th November, 18:30** at the Perk office.
It is an uncertain time to be a programmer. The rise of agentic coding is changing the nature of dev work. Coding with agents can be exhilarating, but also addictive and exhausting. There is pressure to produce more, faster, with less regard for quality. With so much in flux, it can feel like our careers and the craft of coding as we know it are under threat.
Our talks this month will be about mental health and burnout in the age of AI coding.
The event will start with a talk by Miranda Heath about her research on how AI is affecting the mental health of software developers.
We will then have a guided chat about how our wellbeing and jobs are being affected by AI, and how we can support each other through these changes.
Expect pizza, good conversation and moral support!
