What this session covers

If vibe coding is giving in to vibes and one-shotting code that you are likely to throwaway, then agentic engineering is the deliberate practice of designing systems to help agents create high-quality code that gets better over time.

In this talk, we cover the agentic engineering loop and how to leverage it to multiply your output at every phase. We cover the new challenges that arise when agents write most of the code and we provide useful mental models for thinking about software development in the world of agents.

This talk is for anyone that wants to adopt an agent-first approach to software development and get the most out of agents and the latest frontier models.
