What this session covers

Coding agents are writing high-quality code faster than ever, and are picking up issues and stories with growing autonomy. But the human developer still sits at the center of the pull request, reviewing code and suggestions. At the same time, context is fragmenting across chats, prompts, sessions, and branches, leaving agents stateless and developers without an understanding of intent, decisions, and learning.

It’s time for a new software development lifecycle for a world of agent-to-human and agent-to-agent collaboration—one that collapses planning, coordination, design, implementation, review, and deployment into a continuous loop. And one that removes bottlenecks while preserving quality, security, trust, and developer happiness.

Join Thomas Dohmke, CEO of Entire and previously CEO of GitHub, for a demo-filled keynote on where we are today and where the future for developers and agents is headed.
