In this hands-on coding session, we’ll test the limits of current large language model (LLM) capabilities by putting them head-to-head with humans.

Participants will join one of three groups: Humans, Machines, or Cyborgs.
Each group will tackle the same code kata, but with different constraints:

• The Machine group will use LLMs to solve the kata — no handwritten code allowed.
• The Human group will solve the kata without any assistance from LLMs.
• The Cyborg group can combine both approaches as they wish.

At the end, we’ll compare the results and have a brief discussion about the current limitations and strengths of LLMs in real-world coding scenarios.

Note 1: This is not a tutorial on how to use LLMs. Basic familiarity with coding and LLMs is assumed.
Note 2: Participants will be working in pairs or groups. Come ready to collaborate!

Bring a laptop with an IDE that allows you to run tests and code in your preferred language.

If you want to be a machine group, make sure you have an account on any of the LLMs that help you coding.
