Session 2: Meet the Agentic Development Team Jeremy Davis, Field Architect at Docker This session covers how to integrate AI coding agents into your development team as specialized collaborators, not just tools. Key Takeaways: • Role-Based Collaboration: Assign distinct agents to coordinate, write code, and independently review pull requests using Slack, Git, and persistent instructions. • Reliability & Guardrails: Replace vague prompting with clear specifications, automated boundaries, and mutation testing to ensure code quality. • Developer as Architect: Shift your focus from micromanaging lines of code to designing the environments, roles, and automated feedback loops that keep agents effective and trustworthy. Venue: Pour Taproom-Beltline, 661 Auburn Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30312, USA. Registration is handled by the original organizer. Original event and organizer: https://luma.com/skl35ezc
