How Coding Agents are Changing the Traditional Software Development Lifecycle

AI coding assistants are rapidly evolving from passive copilots into active, agentic collaborators capable of planning, executing, and iterating on complex software tasks. This shift has huge ramifications onthe software development lifecycle (SDLC), developer productivity, and even the structure of engineering teams.

In this panel, we chat with AI early adopters who tackled those challenges and ultimately saw opportunities to solve them. Join the founders of Greptile, Warp.dev, and Opencode as they explore how agentic systems are redefining how code is written, reviewed, debugged, and deployed. Drawing from their work at the frontier of developer tooling, they’ll discuss the emergence of autonomous workflows, the changing role of developers as orchestrators rather than implementers, and the infrastructure required to support reliable, secure AI-driven development.

Topics will include:

How agentic coding systems are transforming each stage of the SDLC
The evolution from IDEs to AI-native development environments
Trust, verification, and observability in autonomous code generation
The future role of developers in an increasingly automated stack
Expect a forward-looking conversation grounded in real-world product engineering, with candid perspectives on what’s hype, what’s working today, and what still needs to be built.

This session will be part of our livestream programming.
