Talk: Your New Engineering Teammate: Coding with AI Agents
AI agents are quickly becoming part of the software engineering process, so let’s explore them through a familiar lens: as a new member of the engineering team. Using real experiences and lessons learned from building and deploying software with AI agents, this session focuses on three practical areas: What does onboarding an AI agent to projects look like? How do you get them to execute meaningful work? How do you know whether the output is good enough to trust? This is a conversation about operating models, team habits, and the realities of adopting AI into modern engineering workflows.
