Dot Net North's July meetup tackles a question every engineering team is now living with: what happens to the pull request when AI enters the development process. In a talk titled 'AI Is Here: PRs Are Dead, Long Live PRs', the group explores how AI-assisted coding and review are reshaping the humble PR — where human judgement still matters, what to automate, and how team workflows adapt. Free to attend with catering provided, at Betfred's Manchester office. A solid evening for .NET and general software engineers, tech leads and anyone thinking about AI in the delivery pipeline.
