Two years ago, AI tools mainly helped while you typed code: autocomplete, snippets, and small functions. Today, AI agents can take a development task, create a plan, change many files, run checks, and produce a working solution. This shifts the developer’s role from writing code to supervising agents. In this session, we cover the main opportunities and risks of agent-based development. You will leave with a clear view of what happens when code generation becomes faster and cheaper—and which practices matter more to keep quality high, especially better specifications and stronger tests.
