When the Code Writes Back
Navigating Confidence, Confusion, and Control
What happens when software starts to write software? As coding agents evolve from assistants to autonomous creators, a new engineering discipline emerges. This talk explores what it means to build and steer these systems, where context shapes behaviour, guidance replaces direct control, and environment design becomes a core skill. We’ll examine the mindset shift required when code starts reasoning autonomously.
