The Future of Video Games

In collaboration with **Zalando Switzerland**, we explore how AI agents are transforming software engineering. **Note:** These two talks will be held in **English**. **1st Talk:** Title: **Agentic Coding in the Wild** **Ole Wendland** shares hands-on experience on delegating technical tasks while maintaining human oversight. **The Core Concept:** Tasks like boilerplate, tests, and glue code are delegable, but **business logic and architecture** remain a human responsibility. The developer’s role shifts to a steering authority: **"Trust, but verify."** **Key Takeaways:** * **Precision Matters:** Agents execute what is explicitly described, not what is implicitly meant. * **Real-World Challenges:** From complex debugging (symptom vs. cause) to potential knowledge loss through over-delegation. * **The Shift:** Teams and organizations must adapt to a new, accelerated pace of development. Discover how **Agentic Coding** drives massive efficiency when combined with clear control and structured processes. **2nd Talk:** Title: **Data Engineering with Codex** **Andy Bloechliger**, Backend Engineer at Zalando This talk offers a practical look at how a Zalando data engineer uses the Codex AI agent to automate daily workflows, providing actionable tips for mastering agentic tools and a glimpse into the road ahead for AI-powered teams.
