The Case of the Missing Velocity (And Other AI Engineering Mysteries, Solved)

09:00–09:45 CET · Moonshine · Track: AI

Now that code generation is readily available, software development has evolved into a systems engineering discipline. "Vibe checks" won't cut it when teams need a modern, rigorous SDLC process to keep up. More commits don't necessarily lead to more releases, multi-agent loops can waste tokens, and high test coverage can still hide broken code.

In this keynote, Karl Weinmeister puts on the detective hat to turn AI failure modes into architectural opportunities. Using evidence from developer studies, agent evaluations, and the latest research, Karl shows how to solve each mystery. From strengthening brittle agent loops with high-efficiency agent skills to modern testing and sandboxing strategies, you'll leave with a practical playbook for shipping reliable AI software.
