Summary

TokyoDev Talks Vol. 12 is a recurring tech talk series bringing together software engineers from some of Japan's most interesting tech companies to share what they are working on. This edition features two presentations: Paulo D'Alberti (Software Engineer at Kraken) reflects on the productivity tradeoffs of onboarding into Python using heavy LLM assistance despite having no prior experience with the language, and Andrew Daley (Applied AI Product Manager at Yoii) covers agentic prompt and context engineering, examining frameworks such as DSPy and ACE that let LLMs write and optimize their own prompts. The event runs from 18:30 to 20:45 at Tokyo Innovation Base (TiB) in Marunouchi, Tokyo, with doors opening 30 minutes before the talks for informal networking over drinks and a light meal, followed by open networking after the presentations. Attendance is limited to software developers and adjacent roles such as product managers, designers, and QA engineers.
