Agentic Coding: The Earthquake That Topples the Software Factory

Описание: The tectonic plates beneath software development are shifting. They are moving too fast to predict what the landscape will look like when the earthquake hits. Still, we are sure that the coming earthquake will be on a scale that not only brings down the software factory but also changes the landscape so much that few landmarks on the current map will be identifiable afterwards.

In particular, as AI systems plan, generate, test, deploy, and operate software, roles that were redefined by agile will be entirely replaced by new ones. Domain experts and managers can now create and deploy systems without technical expertise.

This talk will help you identify if you or your organization is standing on any of these precarious fault lines:

Roles that will emerge/disappear as builders move beyond factory walls
Team and feedback boundaries failing under autonomous AI loops
Governance and security models that no longer apply to who and how software is built
