[music] How's everybody doing. Still awake. >> Okay, great.So like the robot voice said, I have been doing developer experience for a very long time and I have never in my life seen anything like the last 12 months. The you know about every 2 to 3 weeks software engineers been making this face on the screen. Okay.And if you work in developer experience the problem is even worse. You're like this guy on the screen every few weeks. You're like, "Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Here's the new hotness." And th ...

Agents are eating software engineering. Yet teams deploying these tools face mixed results. Agents work great in demos but fail unreliably in production, frustrating engineering teams who expected better. The gap isn't model quality—it's environment readiness. Agents need fast feedback loops, explicit instructions, and predictable environments to work effectively. They break on missing environment variables, undocumented dependencies, and tribal knowledge that "everyone just knows." What if you could measur ...

AI agents exhibit vastly different degrees of autonomy. Yet, the ability to accomplish objectives without supervision is the critical north star for agent progress, especially in software creation. For non-technical users who cannot supervise software creation, full autonomy is essential, not optional. First of all, I will discuss two foundational capabilities to achieve true autonomy: automatic testing to verify correctness without human validation, and advanced context management to maintain coherence acr ...

[music] morning. How's everyone doing. >> Good.>> I'm going to need a lot of energy for this talk, so please back me up. I'm very nervous. Uh but we'll get through this.I'm declaring war on slop today. Let's talk about this. Every AIE has a secret.I I've told this to uh some folks that are personal friends and I'll just show show the secret. Now the first summit we had the secret which was we knew that the AI engineer was going to be a thing. Second summit we extended it to leadership.Third summit we realiz ...

In 1968, the term ""Software Crisis"" emerged when systems grew beyond what developers could manage. Every generation since has ""solved"" it with more powerful tools, only to create even bigger problems. Today, AI accelerates the pattern into the Infinite Software Crisis. AI-generated codebases mirror the meandering conversations that created them. Every clarification and pivot gets baked into your architecture. We're vibecoding our way to disaster. The solution: choose simple over easy. One long conversat ...

[music] My name is Samir and I'm the head of AI engineering at the browser company of New York. And today I'm going to talk a little bit about how we transitioned from building ARC to DIA and the lessons we learned in building an AI browser. But first, a little about the browser company.So we started with a mission to rethink how people use the internet. At its core, we believe that the browser is one of the most important pieces of software in your life and it wasn't getting the attention it deserved. Simp ...

[music] Thanks for joining me in one of the later day sessions. Looks like we we we kept a lot of people here. This is a nice full room.I'm great to see it. We're going to go through a lot of content in a short amount of time. So, I'm going to get right into it.If you want to get deeper into any of this stuff, we have published this uh AI strategy playbook for senior executives. And uh a lot of the content that I'm going to go through, I'm not going to have time to get quite as deep, but this is just a nice ...
