Maximize Productivity with AI Agents

I'm Tejas Kumar, a software developer with over 20 years of experience. AI agents are defined as entities that act on behalf of users or groups to produce specific effects. Agents consist of an orchestration layer, a language model, and tools represented as JSON functions. Langflow is an open-source tool that allows users to build their own AI agents by connecting language models and tools. Composio is a tool that enhances agent capabilities by offering integrations and apps, such as Google Calendar integration. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a way to share context with models and extend their capabilities. It allows functions to be made available to models over standard input/output or an HTTP endpoint. MCP can be used with GitHub to perform various tasks like searching and fixing code issues. The Talk covered the basics of AI agents, building agents with Langflow and enhancing them with Composio, and using MCP with GitHub. The speaker encouraged audience questions and exploration of these concepts.

In this talk, we will explore how to offload work to large language models and automate away most "busy work" in order to maximize and enhance productivity on a daily basis. We will do so mainly by exploring how LLMs can callfunctions.

Esta sesión es tu guía para aumentar tu influencia mientras te mantienes fiel al camino de IC.

Aprovechando las Prácticas de Ingeniería de Productividad de Desarrolladores para un Mayor Impacto como IC

Hey, my name is Mikhail Levchenko. I've changed my job and became a full-time developer productivity engineer. Let me share a little story. Imagine being a wealthy trader in 15th century Europe. Delivering spices for profit was not an easy task. Middle East nations heavily taxed any traders. But the Portuguese sailed around Africa using the Mariner's Astrolabe. Fast forward, Gerardo Mercator invented a map perfectly suited for deep ocean navigation. The Dutch East India Company became the new king of the spice trade. Developer productivity is about building a cozy environment for developers, solving hard problems, and identifying process bottlenecks. It focuses on the whole development process as a product. By leveraging this perspective, you can drive change among developers and other roles. Observing developer processes as a product involves meeting stakeholders, formulating a vision, creating a model and metrics, finding productivity problems, and proposing solutions. The stakeholders include developers, CEOs, CTOs, engineering managers, and other roles involved in software development. The goal is to make everyone more productive, guided by the motto of happier developers building better software faster. There are three highlighted frameworks in this talk: DORA, DEVX, and Mertrix. DORA focuses on speed and reliability with metrics like acceleration frequency, lead time, failure rate, and recovery time. DEVX addresses the human factor with metrics related to feedback loops, cognitive load, and flow state. DX4 is a recent metric that combines DORA and DEVX, introducing proprietary metrics for top management. It includes a failure rate to encompass reliability and a percentage of time spent on new features. Engineer-developed metrics like the reliability metrics from Dora and the percentage of time spent on new features are valuable additions. Talking to top management about changes is made easier with a cool metric. Research concerning metrics, consult stakeholders, and read literature to improve understanding. Try prototypes before developing custom tools as a last resort. Confirm success with empirical metrics. Release managers often feel constantly interrupted and overwhelmed by the task of supervising a release. Sharing the role with the entire team proved to be ineffective, leading to forgotten procedures. Automation and streamlining of the release process improved satisfaction and reduced delayed releases. Make developer productivity part of company goals and culture code. Advocate for developers to top management. Drive change by starting small, experimenting, and using tools as a last resort. Find ways to make teammates more productive.

Think being an IC limits your impact? Think again. In this talk, we’ll explore Developer Productivity Engineering (DPE)—a growing field that’s all about making developers happier and helping them ship better software faster. This session will introduce the foundational principles of DPE, explore the SPACE framework, and teach you how to apply your engineering skills beyond just code. Expect to navigate through real-world case studies and gain insights from personal experiences. This session is your guide to leveling up your influence while staying true to the IC path.

Leveraging Developer Productivity Engineering Practices for Greater Impact as an IC

Construyendo la Próxima Generación de Herramientas de Desarrollo de IA

Hello, everyone. My name is Krzysztof, and I will be talking today about developer tools, AI, and how we use both of those to create the next generation of developer tools. GitHub Copilot, released in 2021, revolutionized developer tools by automating boring parts of coding and keeping developers in a state of flow. Suggestions are shown directly in the editor and clearly separated from the real code. Chat interfaces, like Chat GPT, solve quality of response issues and are useful when flow doesn't exist. The next generation of tools focuses on structured exchange, user control, and iteration. GitHub Spark allows users to create small applications without focusing on code. Designing applications with the user in mind and handling ambiguity is important. Real-world software tasks require human guidance, and exploring new ideas beyond chat-based AI is necessary. Always consider the human aspect and ethical considerations when using AI-powered features.

AI has already changed software development. Tools like GitHub Copilot have become ubiquitous parts of the workflow of millions of developers. Like other well-known editor features (like autocomplete or tooltips), AI-in-editor increases productivity, reduces required context switching, and lets developers stay in the flow while focusing on important parts of their job. However, this was just a first step—with the rapid developments of large language models (LLMs), which have become more powerful and knowledgeable with every release and have excellent reasoning capabilities, we can do more. Nowadays, we see AI tools able to solve complex, repository-wide tasks or even generate whole applications. In the talk, I will demo some new AI tools coming from GitHub Next, such as Copilot Workspace or GitHub Spark. We will discuss emerging UX patterns, give advice on how to build your own AI tool and peek into the future of developer tools. All that while trying to answer the most important question—how to design applications using AI with humans in mind.

Welcome to my talk on AI powered development. We'll explore the implications of AI tools and where the value lies in software development. We're transitioning to a new age where AI plays a significant role in coding. The new workflow involves asking AI for code, verifying it, and continuing to build. AI tools are available in the market, offering different options for developers. It's important to choose the right approach that aligns with your goals. Keeping IDE and AI separate allows for better control. The value of AI-powered development lies in architecture, scalability, and creativity. We're in the early stages of AI-powered development, presenting a significant advantage for those entering the field now.

We’ll explore how AI has reshaped the learning curve, expedited development, and emphasized creativity in problem-solving. You’ll leave with actionable insights on building scalable architecture, mastering the art of prompting, and having fun creating innovative, AI-enhanced solutions. Additionally, we will examine modern AI tools such as Windsurf, Cursor, Bolt, Replit, and v0, highlighting which of these I have found to be the most productive in practical use.

Hi, everyone. Thanks for joining this talk on the next chapter of Dev Productivity, aligning experience with excellence. My name is Jeff Schnitter. I'm a Solution Architect at Cortex, and frankly, I'm not sure if I'm qualified to give the talk about Dev Productivity and aligning experience with excellence across the entire industry. So, good developer experience make developers happy. Great NGX makes the business thrive, and this ties it back to developers being happy. NGX excellence is really a constant journey. The adoption of those tools makes sense. It's still really difficult to make sense through all of that. Think about a developer whose job is really to understand the complexity of writing code and deploying it in different environments. Developer productivity is about reducing friction and enabling them to write better, performing, and secure code. Customers are on different paths in their journey to engineering excellence. AI can play a huge role in the engineering ecosystem. Metrics and a broader perspective beyond tools are necessary for engineering excellence. DevEx and engineering excellence are essentially the same, focusing on freeing up developers to write feature code and get ideas to production while addressing challenges like cost and security. Cortex invites you to join engineering excellence activities and share thoughts on completing the journey from DevEx to engineering excellence. The conversation and journey never end, so being prepared and adaptable is crucial.

Most organizations have already taken strides to improve developer experience, streamlining workflows and adopting modern tooling. Yet many still grapple with operational blind spots, security risks, and escalating costs. In this forward-looking session, we explore how to move beyond a narrow focus on developer satisfaction and integrate core pillars of engineering excellence—security, reliability, efficiency, and velocity—into every facet of the development process. Building on the foundation of your existing DevX successes, we’ll dive into practical strategies for enforcing production-ready standards, automating security checks, and optimizing performance without sacrificing developer autonomy. Learn how to evolve your DevX efforts into a holistic approach that not only keeps your teams happy and productive, but also ensures that your software remains stable, cost-effective, and ready for the future. Join us to discover how to write the next chapter in developer productivity—one that truly balances experience with excellence.

In this Talk, the speaker discusses the importance of analyzing bugs in software development. Analyzing bugs goes beyond just counting them; it helps improve processes, understand root causes, and gain insights through machine learning. The Talk emphasizes the need for proper communication with bugs and the importance of preparing the bug analysis environment. Automation and visualization can improve bug analysis efficiency, and a comprehensive analysis of different metrics is necessary to gain insights for improvement. The Talk also highlights examples of bug analysis and the use of machine learning for pattern recognition. Bug severity estimation using machine learning algorithms and the use of clustering for bug analysis are also mentioned. Overall, the Talk provides valuable insights on bug analysis and its role in improving software quality and productivity.

Is communication with bugs possible? It is important to understand them because there is valuable information underlying the bugs of software, and it promises quality improvements. Let's talk about how we can analyze reported issues to improve the future of the product by means of Artificial Intelligence.
