When agents write code faster than humans, the question isn’t “how do we keep up?” — it’s “what do we become?”

AI Agents: The Industrial Revolution of the SDLC

When agents write code faster than humans, the question isn’t “how do we keep up?” — it’s “what do we become?”
Just like the loom turned craftsmen into operators, AI agents are reshaping the developer’s role from maker to orchestrator. Today, a developer might not write the code themselves — they coordinate a swarm of agents: one generates tests, another builds CRUDs, another documents, and another refactors. Each one fast, specialised, tireless.

This talk offers a pragmatic look at how AI agents are being integrated into real-world SDLCs. We’ll explore what changes in workflows, team dynamics, and engineering rituals when agents become part of the delivery process — and why developers who fail to adapt risk becoming the next generation of Luddites.

Jules by Google — Replace or Be Replaced

by Alexey Frundin - Cybersecurity, Universität des Saarlandes

Jules is Google’s autonomous coding agent that integrates directly into the SDLC. In this session, I’ll show Jules in action and explain how development changes when an agent becomes part of the team. What happens to planning, reviews, and ownership when a teammate can work 24/7 without breaks? How do teams adapt their rituals and security boundaries when code no longer comes only from humans?
