AI-First Engineering in Practice: Moving Beyond Code Generation to Systemic Product Delivery

Friday October 30, 2026 10:00am - 10:45am EDT

Hall of Colonials

Most engineering teams approach AI opportunistically, treating it merely as a faster way to write code. However, software development represents only 20% of the software value stream, and localized optimization frequently introduces systemic chaos downstream during testing, review, and deployment.

This hands-on session builds directly upon real-world production methodology to demonstrate how semi-autonomous, role-based AI agents can be structured across the entire lifecycle—from product definition and architectural design decisions (ADRs) to automated builds and containerized cloud operations. Using a concrete energy grid intelligence case study (GridPulse), we will dismantle the typical "vibe-coding" approach and replace it with an engineering discipline focused on structured context architecture, explicit API contracts, and spec-driven development
