Stop Writing Code like it's April 2026!

Software is no longer written by people alone, so why are we still running our SDLCs as if it is?

In this talk, Aidan Morgan will draw on twelve months of hands-on experimentation with agentic engineering teams assembled for an AI-first delivery model.

He’ll introduce a mental model for AI-first delivery, share how he’s using deterministic tooling to create fast, automated backpressure to keep agents on track, and challenge some long-held assumptions about software delivery.

If you’ve been wondering how to move beyond “AI-assisted coding” and into genuinely agentic software delivery, this one’s for you.
