What you'll learn
Understand why agents struggle with real codebases
See how agents’ strengths and limits interact with the hidden context and assumptions of real codebases.
Rethink practices built around human-written code
Explore how abstractions, repetition and tooling change when agents do most of the reading and writing.
Recognize where engineering judgment still matters
See what remains yours to decide—and how to express intent and criteria clearly enough for agents to act on.
Why this topic matters
AI can produce more code in a day than you could write in a month. Reviewing it all doesn’t scale. Yet many of our tools, abstractions and engineering practices still assume that humans read and write the code. In this session, we’ll question that assumption and explore what changes when we focus on managing complexity with agents—and making our judgment explicit enough for them to act on.
