Official Session Summary
Pulled from the live conference page.
There is an enormous difference in quality and efficiency of outcomes when building or using agentic systems. We've talked about context engineering, competing standards and protocols, waves of interfaces and harnesses being 'dead' with another wave of similar shapes and techniques temporarily taking the hyped limelight...but what's missing in all these conversations is a common, clear-headed, unhyped set of intuitions and expectations we all can rely on to build great agentic things. To enjoy the new good old-fashioned engineering.
Speaker Background
Quick context on the person or people on stage.
Head of DX at CodeRabbit, focused on code review, workflow quality, and the shape of useful agentic engineering primitives.
Why This Slot Matters
A compact framing layer for navigating the conference.
This is one of the more substantive abstract-backed sessions on the schedule; worth opening when you need enough context to decide whether to stay in the room.
