At jPrime 2026, I presented “How Coding Agents Are Transforming Software Development: From Code Completion to Autonomous Feature Delivery”.
Two years ago, AI tools mainly helped while you typed code: autocomplete, snippets, and small functions.
Today, AI agents can take a development task, create a plan, change many files, run checks, and produce a working solution. This shifts the developer’s role from writing code to supervising agents.
In this session, I covered the main opportunities and risks of agent-based development. I highlighted the practices that matter to keep quality high, such as better specifications and extensive tests.
Even though it was the last session of the day, many people stayed 30 minutes after it ended, asking questions and sharing their experiences.
