What it is — The full talk playlist from AI Native DevCon London 2026 (1–2 June, The Brewery, London).

Key points

  • Guy Podjarny — “Skills are the New Code”: agent instructions/context are becoming a software unit needing intent, review, testing and versioning.
  • Birgitta Böckeler — “State of Play: AI Coding Assistants”: field data on which adoption patterns work vs. create tech debt.
  • Patrick Debois — “The Rise of Agent Enablement”: frames agent enablement as a new org function alongside DevOps/Platform Engineering.

Favourite talk shared — Ryan Lopopolo (OpenAI), “Harness Engineering: How to Build Software When Humans Steer and Agents Execute” — the scaffolding of specs, constraints, context, tools, tests and CI feedback loops that keep agents productive at scale.
