Join us on Wednesday, Dec 10 from 6 to 8pm at TribalScale on a journey for agentic swarms for developer productivity! The talk will start at 6:30pm sharp, please be on time!

Also, feel free joining us after the talke for some beer or bites!

Talk Description

Stop Babysitting LLMs, Start Shipping.

PRs got bigger, not better. Seniors are burning hours on AI bug hunts while throughput stays flat. Old metrics like PRs merged or LOC velocity have lost all meaning.
Encode your existing SDLC into a gated multi-agent flow so LLMs do the noisy work. Review changes that have already passed CI.

Swarm Architecture

Encodes a full SDLC loop (issue → spec → plan → PR → gate → deploy) in a gated 45-agent swarm you can explore after the talk.

Shift Left

Mutation-on-diff and contract/schema checks wired into your agentic flow before review. Reduce review pain instead of just generating more code.

Failure Modes & Guardrails

Hallucinations, reward hacking, process confabulation, and how your architecture catches and fixes them before they reach reviewers.

TAKEAWAYS

• You’ll leave with a working demo swarm repository you can clone into your own repos, and a clearer way to decide when to lean on tokens versus human review.

• For platform and DevEx engineers, tech leads and staff+ developers, and engineering leaders who are tired of wrestling with AI-generated code and review pain.

• The talk and swarm will be released under Apache 2.0 at [effortlesssteven.com/DemoSwarm](https://effortlesssteven.com/DemoSwarm).
