Cole will walk through his agentic coding workflow that allows him to delegate all coding to the agent while still keeping him in the driver's seat (no vibe coding!). The key is to create a structured approach for both the up front planning and the validation - and he'll demonstrate what that looks like. Plus, he'll show the true power of creating a system for AI coding - with a proper system, every coding mistake the LLM makes is an opportunity to not just address the bug manually, but fix the system so the bug doesn't happen again. That's what makes your coding agent more and more reliable over time!

Los desarrolladores ahora crean aplicaciones completas simplemente conversando con herramientas de AI. Cada vez más startups dependen predominantemente del código generado por AI. Pero lo que inicialmente emocionó a los desarrolladores rápidamente lleva a la frustración: código genérico, mala arquitectura y vulnerabilidades de seguridad.En esta charla, demuestro cómo el Spec Driven Development (SDD) soluciona estos problemas. En lugar de codificar primero y documentar después, SDD comienza con especificaciones precisas como la "única fuente de verdad". Varios herramientas y CLIs hacen que esta metodología sea prácticamente aplicable hoy en día con un enfoque estructurado de 4 fases: Especificar, Planificar, Tareas, Implementar.Usando un proyecto real, muestro cómo SDD funciona con herramientas modernas de codificación AI. Comparto ideas honestas de la experiencia práctica: dónde SDD sobresale, dónde falla y si la sobrecarga de especificación realmente conduce a mejores resultados.

Spec Driven Development: El Fin de la Programación por Intuición

Welcome to spec-driven development talk by Daniel Sogel. AI agents struggle with benchmarks and real-world tasks. Developers spend extra time fixing code generated by AI agents. Security issues in AI-generated code, limitations with context management, multi-file coordination, silent failures, architecture decisions, and enterprise context challenges addressed by Spectre from development. AI agents removing safety checks, generating code with fake data, silent failures worse than crashes, spectrum development benefits like complete context upfront, structured reasoning, validation checkpoints, and autonomous implementation without manual code review. Act with AI agents like pair programmers, combine spectrum, behavior-driven, and test-driven development. Spec-driven development adoption in the industry, using Keyro IDE by AWS and popular tools like SpecKit and OpenSpec for different project types. Define tech stack, API structure in planning, task phase implementation, handover to AI agents, and choosing the right spec-driven development tools.

Developers now create entire applications by simply chatting with AI tools. More and more startups rely on predominantly AI-generated code. But what initially thrilled developers quickly leads to frustration: generic code, poor architecture, and security vulnerabilities.In this talk, I demonstrate how Spec Driven Development (SDD) solves these problems. Instead of coding first and documenting later, SDD begins with precise specifications as the "single source of truth." Various tools and CLIs make this methodology practically applicable today with a structured 4-phase approach: Specify, Plan, Tasks, Implement.Using a real project, I show how SDD works with modern AI coding tools. I share honest insights from hands-on experience: where SDD excels, where it fails, and whether the specification overhead actually leads to better results.

Spec Driven Development: The End of Vibe Coding

Modern AI coding agents don’t just autocomplete. They execute, connect, and automate. With the wrong settings, they can access more of your system than you intended. In this session, I’ll demonstrate how agent autonomy, MCP integrations, and Skills can lead to unexpected security risks. Through examples using Cursor.ai, we’ll see how seemingly harmless configuration choices stack into real exposure and how to set secure defaults for safe, high-velocity “Vibe Coding.”

Security Pitfalls in AI-Generated Code: What Happens When Developers Skip Review

Esta presentación muestra cómo el Domain-Driven Design (DDD) convierte la codificación agéntica de “prompt spaghetti” en un enfoque de ingeniería mantenible. En lugar de un único prompt gigante y herramientas ad-hoc, propone contextos delimitados para las responsabilidades de los agentes, un lenguaje ubicuo para entradas/salidas de herramientas consistentes, y un mapa de contexto que hace explícitas las integraciones. Los asistentes aprenderán cómo diseñar contratos de herramientas estables (puertos/adaptadores), agregar puertas de CI/evaluación que mantengan a los agentes honestos, e implementar trazabilidad y reproducción para que las acciones de los agentes sigan siendo auditables y depurables. El resultado: sistemas agénticos que escalan a bases de código reales y equipos sin colapsar en el caos.

De Prompt Spaghetti a Contextos Delimitados: DDD para Bases de Código Agénticas

Nikita, AI Architect at Siemens, discusses challenges in JNTX system development, emphasizing domain-driven design for scalability and stability. Clear responsibilities, bounded contexts, and structured schemas are crucial for reducing complexity. The anti-corruption layer and context maps play vital roles in integration architecture. Key takeaways include the importance of contracts, firewalls, and CI gates for system development.

This presentation shows how Domain-Driven Design (DDD) turns agentic coding from “prompt spaghetti” into a maintainable engineering approach. Instead of one giant prompt and ad-hoc tools, it proposes bounded contexts for agent responsibilities, a ubiquitous language for consistent tool inputs/outputs, and a context map that makes integrations explicit. Attendees will learn how to design stable tool contracts (ports/adapters), add CI/evaluation gates that keep agents honest, and implement traceability and replay so agent actions remain auditable and debuggable. The result: agentic systems that scale to real codebases and teams without collapsing into chaos.

Los agentes de codificación han cruzado el umbral de resolver problemas no triviales junto a los ingenieros, así como de funcionar de manera autónoma en muchos aspectos. Su habilidad más sorprendente ha sido su efectividad en tareas no relacionadas con la codificación también, en el momento en que el universo se representa en un sistema de archivos o es accesible desde entornos tipo unix. Los agentes pronto estarán escribiendo, accediendo y potenciando software — y esta charla cubre los divertidos desafíos de diseñar entornos de desarrollo aislados a través de estos paradigmas, permitiendo a los agentes operar completamente dentro de entornos aislados o usar estos entornos como herramientas programables y efímeras.

Diseñando Entornos de Desarrollo Aislados para Agentes de Codificación

A demo of an animated goose following the cursor in a unique environment with real-time updates. Advanced models for long-running agents performing complex tasks. Exploring sandbox environments for agent coding, focusing on isolation, containers, networking, and persistence. Challenges in sandbox orchestration, including handling heavy processing, managing sessions, and security concerns. Importance of agent control, Micro VMs for isolation, and networking in sandbox environments. Strategies for efficient sandbox operations with pre-built images, persistent volumes, and warm pools. Utilizing sandbox primitives for simple usage with focus on isolation, networking, and persistence.

Coding agents have crossed the threshold of solving non-trivial problems alongside engineers, as well as running autonomously in many ways. Their most surprising ability has been in their effectiveness at non-coding tasks too the moment universe is represented on a filesystem or accessible from unix-like environments. Agents will soon be writing, accessing and powering software — and this talk covers the fun challenges of designing sandboxed dev environments across these paradigms, enabling agents to run entirely within sandboxes or using sandboxes as programmable, ephemeral tools.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) se ha convertido rápidamente en un estándar para extender la funcionalidad de LLM en la codificación asistida por IA y la codificación de ambiente, y los desarrolladores son los primeros en adoptar este poderoso nuevo método de integración. Pero los MCPs también pueden crear riesgos significativos no solo para el código que estás escribiendo, sino también para tu estación de trabajo, credenciales e infraestructura de la empresa. En esta charla relámpago, revisaré esos riesgos usando ejemplos del mundo real y explicaré cómo evitarlos.

MCPs: Cómo Evitar Escollos de Seguridad

Gil Friedman from Backslash Security discussed MCP security, focusing on the Model Context Protocol and AI assistant security risks like GitHub token exposure in auto run mode. Security measures for MCP usage include setting autorun to ask every time, postmarking MCP incidents, handling malicious servers, safeguarding sensitive information, reviewing and disabling unused tools, requiring permission before triggering actions, removing MCP from environments, and revoking API keys when necessary.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) has quickly become a standard way to extend LLM functionality in AI-assisted and vibe coding, and developers are early adopters of this powerful new integration method. But MCPs can also create significant risks not just to the code you're writing, but to your workstation, credentials, and company infrastructure. In this lightning talk I will review  those risks using real-world examples, and explain how to avoid them.

MCPs: How to Avoid Security Pitfalls

A medida que las bases de código crecen, los asistentes de codificación de AI tienen dificultades. Las ventanas de contexto se desbordan, los agentes pierden el seguimiento de las dependencias y la búsqueda de texto simple no logra capturar las relaciones semánticas que definen el software real. Esta masterclass explora tres patrones arquitectónicos probados que permiten a los agentes de AI trabajar eficazmente con bases de código a escala de producción: inteligencia de código semántico a través de la integración del Language Server Protocol, habilidades especializadas de agentes mediante el agrupamiento de contexto y herramientas, y delegación de subagentes para una gestión eficiente del contexto. A través de demostraciones en vivo en un proyecto popular de código abierto como ShadCN, verás cómo estas técnicas abordan la complejidad del software del mundo real: refactorizaciones de múltiples archivos, cambios entre módulos y seguimiento de dependencias que abrumarían los enfoques tradicionales.Te irás con estrategias prácticas y agnósticas al producto para construir o mejorar agentes de AI que puedan manejar grandes bases de código con precisión y eficiencia. Examinaremos por qué la comprensión semántica supera la búsqueda de texto, cómo diseñar habilidades de agentes enfocadas que mejoren la finalización de tareas y cómo las arquitecturas de subagentes en paralelo previenen el agotamiento de las ventanas de contexto. Ya sea que estés construyendo herramientas de desarrollo de AI, arquitecturando sistemas de múltiples agentes o contribuyendo a código abierto, estos patrones te ayudarán a cerrar la brecha entre las demostraciones de juguete y la asistencia de AI de grado de producción.

Escalando Agentes de AI para Bases de Código de Producción: Patrones para Precisión y Eficiencia

Discussing top AI coding best practices in 2026, including semantic understanding and context window management. Exploring the role of Language Server Protocol (LSP) in code refactoring. Efficient code renaming using LSP and code intelligence in Kiro. Impact of not using LSP on code renaming efficiency. Manual approaches without LSP significantly impact efficiency and resource consumption. Context window usage doubles without LSP, affecting code handling. Utilizing subagents for specialized tasks enhances codebase security. Spec-driven development and detailed design documents for efficient agent alignment.

As codebases grow, AI coding assistants struggle. Context windows overflow, agents lose track of dependencies, and simple text search fails to capture the semantic relationships that define real software. This talk explores three proven architectural patterns that enable AI agents to work effectively with production-scale codebases: semantic code intelligence through Language Server Protocol integration, specialized agent skills via context and tool bundling, and subagent delegation for efficient context management. Through live demonstrations on a popular open-source project like ShadCN, you'll see these techniques tackle the complexity of real-world software—multi-file refactorings,cross-module changes, and dependency tracking that would overwhelm traditional approaches.You'll leave with practical, product-agnostic strategies for building or enhancing AI agents that can handle large codebases with accuracy and efficiency. We'll examine why semantic understanding outperforms text search, how to design focused agent skills that improve task completion, and how parallel subagent architectures prevent context window exhaustion. Whether you're building AI developer tools, architecting multi-agent systems, or contributing to open source, these patterns will help you bridge the gap between toy demos and production-grade AI assistance.

Voice Agents Crash Course

Esta masterclass desafía la dependencia excesiva en la tasa de éxito e introduce un marco más práctico y consciente de la seguridad para evaluar agentes de AI. Basándonos en escenarios de implementación reales, exploramos métricas que capturan mejor la utilidad y fiabilidad del agente, incluyendo el tiempo de finalización, la eficiencia de llamadas a herramientas, la tasa de recuperación de errores y el costo por tarea exitosa.La sesión mostrará cómo los equipos optimizan involuntariamente las métricas incorrectas, llevando a modos de falla ocultos como reintentos excesivos, uso ineficiente de herramientas, errores silenciosos y costos operativos en aumento. Conectaremos estos problemas con preocupaciones más amplias de seguridad en AI, destacando cómo las prácticas de evaluación deficientes pueden crear una confianza engañosa en el comportamiento del agente.Los asistentes se irán con estrategias de evaluación concretas, una comprensión más clara de los compromisos en el diseño de agentes y una guía práctica sobre cómo construir métricas que reflejen el rendimiento en el mundo real, no solo victorias en benchmarks.

Métricas Que Realmente Importan: Evaluando Agentes de AI Más Allá de la Tasa de Éxito

John Robert, Lead Data and AI Platform Engineer, discusses evaluating AI agents beyond success rate. Talks about failures of AI projects, the uniqueness of AI agents, and the evaluation process. Creating a Framework for AI Agent Evaluation: Four Evaluation Categories - performance, business, safety, and cost. Metrics creation to enhance AI projects. Includes task completion rates, reasoning quality, accuracy evaluation, tool execution, response time, and recovery time checks. Examining KPIs, Safety, Security, and Cost in AI Agent Projects: Consider ROI, user satisfaction, time-saving, code review, adoption, engagement, risk, regulations, unauthorized actions, and cost efficiency. Checking Infrastructure and Security Metrics: Evaluate project reliability, online presence, errors, resources, prompt injection, data leakages, authorized actions, tool usage.

This talk challenges the overreliance on success rate and introduces a more practical and safety-aware framework for evaluating AI agents. Drawing from real deployment scenarios, we explore metrics that better capture agent usefulness and reliability, including time-to-completion, tool-call efficiency, error recovery rate, and cost per successful task.The session will show how teams unintentionally optimize the wrong metrics, leading to hidden failure modes such as excessive retries, inefficient tool usage, silent errors, and escalating operational costs. We will connect these issues to broader AI safety concerns, highlighting how poor evaluation practices can create misleading confidence in agent behavior.Attendees will leave with concrete evaluation strategies, a clearer understanding of trade-offs in agent design, and practical guidance on building metrics that reflect real-world performance not just benchmark wins.

Metrics That Actually Matter: Evaluating AI Agents Beyond Success Rate

En la IA generativa, los modelos de lenguaje grandes (LLMs) más grandes a menudo dominan los titulares, aclamados como las mejores soluciones para las tareas más complejas y diversas. Si bien ciertamente tienen su lugar, ¿son la mejor opción para cada caso de uso empresarial?Los modelos de lenguaje más pequeños están ganando terreno por su capacidad para ofrecer un alto rendimiento con menores costos y requisitos de recursos. Estos modelos son más rápidos, más fáciles de ajustar y mejor adaptados a las necesidades comerciales específicas, lo que los convierte en una alternativa atractiva para muchas organizaciones. En esta sesión, vamos a:-Explorar la estructura técnica y el contenido de los LLMs.-Discutir cómo los modelos más pequeños y diseñados para un propósito específico pueden ser más eficientes y efectivos para tareas empresariales, incluyendo cómo las técnicas de optimización de modelos pueden mejorar aún más el rendimiento.-Demostrar cómo los LLMs más pequeños pueden proporcionar soluciones más rápidas y rentables mientras siguen cumpliendo con las demandas de casos de uso especializados.

Cuando Menos Es Más: Una Visión Técnica de los LLMs y la Fuerza de los Modelos Más Pequeños

Lugari Karasen from Red Hat AI discusses the technical aspects of large language models, including data collection, tokenization, and neural network internals. Model training involves converting human language to mathematical representations and adjusting parameters iteratively in a complex environment. Inference engines like VLLM aid in deploying models for rapid data processing. Optimizing model size for efficiency without sacrificing accuracy is crucial, with quantization reducing model size while maintaining precision. Local deployment offers privacy and control, and smaller purpose-driven models can enhance workflows and experimentation.

In generative AI, the largest large language models (LLMs) often dominate the headlines, hailed as the best solutions for the most complex and diverse tasks. While they certainly have their place, are they the best option for every enterprise use case?Smaller language models are gaining traction for their ability to deliver high performance with lower cost and resource requirements. These models are quicker, easier to fine-tune, and better suited for targeted business needs, making them an attractive alternative for many organizations. In this session, we will:-Explore the technical structure and content of LLMs.-Discuss how smaller, purpose-built models can be more efficient and effective for enterprise tasks, including how model optimization techniques can boost performance even more.-Demonstrate how smaller LLMs can provide faster, more cost-effective solutions while still meeting the demands of specialized use cases.

When Less Is More: A Technical Overview of LLMs and the Strength of Smaller Models

Los flujos de trabajo de "vibe coding" convencionales no fueron diseñados para extensiones de navegador. Las extensiones tienen arquitecturas distribuidas que abarcan pestañas, trabajadores en segundo plano y ventanas emergentes; Chrome Web Store prohíbe el código remoto; y los ciclos de revisión lentos rompen los bucles de retroalimentación rápida que hacen que la codificación con IA sea productiva. En esta charla, cubriré el panorama de la personalización del navegador desde bookmarklets y user scripts hasta plataformas de modificación de bajo código y navegadores con IA. También compartiré técnicas prácticas para adaptar los flujos de trabajo de codificación con IA al desarrollo de extensiones basadas en la experiencia de enviar extensiones en empresas de todo el mundo.

Hacer que la Codificación con IA Funcione para Extensiones de Navegador de Nivel Empresarial

Todd Schiller discusses using AI to code an AI-enabled extension for global use by enterprises, emphasizing empowering users through browser extensions for versatile automation and customization. Browser extensibility covers various customization methods, including user scripts and low-code options like Pixie Bricks. Challenges in applying AI tools to browser extensions include their distributed nature, slower iteration loops, and adaptation to host sites. Understanding browser extensions as distributed systems reveals complexities such as async operations and intricate component lifecycles. Key best practices will be discussed, starting with selecting the appropriate foundation. Choose a productive foundation like libraries or frameworks for browser extension development. Select between user scripts or low-code platforms like Pixiebricks. Focus on encapsulating extension-specific code, using explicit coding, and enforcing boundaries with linters. Create fast feedback loops with tools like TypeScript, Lint rules, and realistic integration testing with mocks and fakes. Encapsulate extension-specific code using standard tactics like dependency injection and explicit coding. Create fast feedback loops with TypeScript, Lint rules, and realistic integration testing. Shift left to catch issues earlier and avoid relying on slow feedback loops. Avoid testing on host pages directly to prevent slow and potentially flaky behavior detection. Utilize dependency induction, mocks, and fakes for realistic integration tests. Test boring components with Storybook and Playwright MCP. Shift left to catch issues earlier, avoid testing directly on host pages, create test pages for encountered patterns, leverage AI for generating test pages, and ensure a stable testing environment.

Mainstream "vibe coding" workflows weren't designed for browser extensions. Extensions have distributed architectures spanning tabs, background workers, and popups; Chrome Web Store forbids remote code; and slow review cycles all break the fast feedback loops that make AI coding productive. In this talk, I'll cover the browser customization landscape from bookmarklets and user scripts to low-code mod platforms and AI browsers. I'll also share practical techniques for adapting AI coding workflows to extension development based on experience shipping extensions in enterprises around the globe.
