Agentic AI: Disposable software, going from problem > software in 20 minutes

Details

You're a developer. You know AI can write code. You've used Copilot, Claude, or ChatGPT to ship faster, debug, or figure out what a library is doing. That part is well-trodden ground.
This talk explores something different: using agentic AI as a general-purpose problem-solving tool. Yes, the tool is called Claude Code. But what I want to show is what happens when you stop thinking of it as "the thing that writes my code" and start thinking of it as "the thing that can build me something useful in 20 minutes."

That's the idea behind disposable software: small, single-purpose tools you spin up to solve one specific problem, use as long as you need, and then move on. There's a whole class of problems sitting on your plate right now that don't warrant a project plan, a sprint, or a code review. They need someone to build the thing and move on.

In this session, we'll go over how to set up an agentic environment, dive into a real-world problem, and then spend a good amount of time on Q&A and diving into real solutions that people are solving today with agentic AI.
