🚀 AI Coding Night
Claude vs Codex
Live Refactoring Kata
📅 Wednesday, August 5
🕘 21:00 CET
⏱ Duration: 2 Hours
Build. Refactor. Learn. Together.
Forget AI presentations.
Join Angular Meetup Hamburg for this hands-on coding workshop where developers collaborate in teams, tackle a real refactoring challenge, and learn from each other's ideas, code, and AI workflows.
Choose your side
🤖 Team Claude
or
⚡ Team Codex
Both teams receive exactly the same legacy code and the same refactoring challenge.
The goal isn't to prove one AI is better.
The goal is to discover different approaches, improve your engineering skills, and learn from both your own team and the other team.

Workshop Rules
🔄 Coding Iterations
Each iteration follows the same format
💻 20 Minutes
Work together in breakout rooms.
Refactor the code in small, safe iterations using your AI coding assistant as your pair programmer.
Collaborate with your teammates, discuss ideas, and continuously improve your solution.
💬 5 Minutes
Everyone comes back together.
Each team presents their progress.
We'll compare different approaches, prompts, refactoring strategies, and engineering decisions.
This is where everyone learns from each other.
We'll complete three iterations during the evening.
If everyone is having fun and wants to continue, we'll simply keep going with Iteration 4 and 5.
This Is a Collaborative Workshop
This is not a competition.
It's a collaborative engineering exercise where every participant contributes ideas and learns from others.
You'll learn
Different refactoring techniques
AI Pair Programming
Better prompting for software development
Clean Code practices
Different engineering approaches
How other developers solve the same challenge
Through discussion, feedback, and collaboration
The comparison after every iteration is just as valuable as t
