Managing multiple repositories shouldn't mean running the same Git commands dozens of times. GitKraken CLI brings multi-repo actions, unified Git workflows, and standardization to command line developers who need bulk operations across their entire workspace. In this GitKon presentation, Louis Silvio (Software Engineer & Cloud Architect at GitKraken) demonstrates how the GitKraken CLI solves the context-switching chaos that slows down modern development teams.

Jeff Hollan (Snowflake Director of Product) gave a talk called "Building Adaptive Teams for AI" that addresses something we're all navigating: how career growth works when teams are adapting to AI workflows.

Rizel Scarlet (Staff Developer Advocate at Block) tackled a problem every developer should care about: apps that spy on users before they even know they need the service. Her solution? Build a privacy-first pregnancy app using AI agents and decentralized web nodes. This isn't just about pregnancy apps - it's about the future of user data ownership.

Every dev has that “there has to be a better way” moment. For Eric Amodio, that moment created GitLens. From scratching his own itch → to millions of devs using it daily.

AI is boosting flow, job satisfaction, and productivity for devs. But here’s the twist: it’s not actually giving us more time to do valuable work. In his GitKon talk, Nathen Harvey digs into the real impacts of AI adoption in technical teams. Yes, AI reduces toil and improves satisfaction. But it also shifts how we spend our time and sometimes that means less “valuable work” gets done. So the question becomes: how can we use AI not just to work faster, but to work better?
