  Every Repo Is a Software Factory Now | Don Syme, GitHub 18.08.2026 1ч 4мин

  Turning every repo into a software factory sounds like marketing until you see the machinery underneath. Don Syme, Principal Researcher at GitHub, breaks down continuous AI and GitHub Agentic Workflows, now in public preview. The short version: the agents are the easy part, the quality gates and guardrails are the work. Watch Don's AI DevCon Talk here: https://youtu.be/kbvqRWY-bUs What we cover: – What continuous AI is, and why it sits beside CI/CD rather than inside it – Why bounding the c...

  The Background Check You Can't Run on an AI Agent 11.08.2026 47мин

  The thing that makes an agent useful is the exact thing that makes it dangerous. Keycard co-founder Ian Livingstone breaks down why non-determinism is both the feature and the bug, and why identity, not model quality, is what really gates how much autonomy you can hand an agent. If you have ever clicked "always allow" without reading it, this one is about you. What we cover: – Why authentication was enough in the cloud era and stops being enough with agents – The background check you can't r...

  From Living Room Hack to 30 AI Agents at Cyera 21.07.2026 1ч 6мин

  An engineer builds an AI agent to manage his own life, decides an unrestricted "does everything" agent is too dangerous to trust, and ends up creating the internal agent platform that now runs 30 agents across his entire company. Ori Shoshan, tech lead at Cyera, walks through the guardrails, citation system, and knowledge graph that turned "let the agent do anything" into "let the agent do exactly what it's supposed to, and nothing else." What we cover: – Why one engineer built his ow...

  Patrick Debois Maps the Patterns of AI-Native Dev 14.07.2026 47мин

  After DevOps, Patrick Debois has a new map. The godfather of DevOps returns to walk through his AI patterns research: how he tracks where AI-native development is heading by mining social signals instead of surveys, why the stack is settling into patterns worth learning, and why your AI budget problem is really an optimization problem. What we cover: – Inside the AI patterns site at Tessl.io/patterns and how it's auto-generated – The four layers of AI enablement: agent, team, platform, and o...

  The Tessl Agent: Build Your Software Factory on Autopilot 30.06.2026 52мин

  What if the whole point of your AI agent was to eventually make itself redundant? Dru Knox, Head of Product at Tessl, introduces the Tessl agent — a new interface built not just for AI-assisted coding, but for building the software factory that keeps improving without constant human input. This is a conversation about loop engineering: how to set up automated feedback cycles so your agents get smarter, your code review gets tighter, and your team ships more without adding more toil. What we...

  Why Agents Are Forcing Enterprises to Finally Fix Their Dev Process 25.06.2026 1ч

  Enterprises are finally being forced to care about their software development lifecycle — not because anyone suddenly got disciplined, but because agents cost money and the waste is now visible. When it was humans, it was "Timmy's just lazy." Now it's a line item. Simon Maple sat down with Patrick Debois (the godfather of DevOps, now DevRel at Tessl), Tammuz Dubnov (co-founder and CEO of Autonomy AI), and Daniel Jones (Head of Product at re:cinq) at AI Native DevCon London for a wide-ra...

  AI Security & the Agent-Ready Web: Experts Weigh In 16.06.2026 1ч 2мин

  What does it mean to build securely when agents can negotiate their own guardrails? And what happens to the web — CLIs, frameworks, even the browser itself — when the primary user is no longer human? At AI Native DevCon London, Simon Maple sat down with two panels of experts to find out. First: a security roundtable with Joseph Katsioloudes from GitHub, Liran Tal from Snyk, and John Groetzinger from Cisco. Then: a web AI conversation with Dana Lawson from Netlify, Maximiliano Firt...

  Ryan Lopopolo: OpenAI's Framework for Shipping Code at 70 PRs/Week 09.06.2026 55мин

  Most engineering teams are still arguing about whether to use AI coding agents. Ryan Lopopolo's team at OpenAI shipped an entire product with no human-written code — and onboarding a new engineer made the team faster within two weeks. That outcome didn't come from better prompts. It came from what Ryan calls Harness Engineering: the systems, constraints, and feedback loops that sit around the agent — the context it sees, the tools it can call, the tests and linters that close the loop, and ...

  Why Developers Hit a Wall at 4 AI Agents 02.06.2026 47мин

  Engineering teams are shipping twice as many pull requests with AI — but merge rates on AI-generated PRs have dropped from 80% to 60%. Nick Arcolano, Head of AI & Research at Jellyfish, sits on one of the most comprehensive datasets in the industry: 250,000 developers, 40 million data points, monthly benchmarks on real agentic coding adoption across enterprise companies. What he's seeing in that data is both more promising and more complicated than the headlines suggest. What ...

  Don't Secure the Code. Secure the Coder. 26.05.2026 40мин

  AI agents don't just write insecure code — they can escape their sandboxes, delete files, and do whatever it takes to complete a task. The security mental model that served us through the cloud era isn't enough anymore. Guy Podjarny, founder of Snyk and CEO of Tessl, made the case at London's AI Security Summit: it's time to stop securing the code and start securing the coder. Recorded live at the AI Security Summit in London, this episode features conversations with Brian Vermeer (Snyk), Sam...

  The Hidden Security Risks of AI Coding Agents 19.05.2026 41мин

  Your AI coding agent has access to your secrets, pulls in content from the outside world, and can run shell commands. According to Joe Holdcroft, that combination makes you one prompt injection away from a very bad time. The tools haven't changed the fundamentals of security — they've just made every existing risk move faster, and introduced a few genuinely new ones. What we cover: Why the "lethal trifecta" of agent capabilities creates a novel threat surfaceHow text and markdown files have b...

  Logan Kilpatrick on Who Ships AGI, DeepMind and the Problem With More Software 21.04.2026 38мин

  "If you could have a system that could build anything with code, humans can't compete on the same level. That's narrow superintelligence, and we're close." In this episode of AI Native Dev, Simon Maple sits down with Logan Kilpatrick, who spent years at OpenAI working alongside Sam Altman before moving to Google DeepMind as Group Product Manager. They get into: There will be 100x more developers in the world because of AIAGI will be a product, not a modelThe way you used AI tools thre...
