Presentation: Keeping humans in the loop with AI coding agents

With AI coding agents becoming increasingly popular, the big challenge becomes how to stay in control while harnessing the power of AI assistance. In this talk, Gojko presents the results of an industry research of early adopters of AI coding agents, who found ways to systematically apply structured engineering practices and keep humans in the loop, but avoiding AI slop. Vibe coding can significantly cut time to a prototype, but it can also create an unmaintainable mess. Learn how to add guardrails and constraints to automated AI coding agents, so they can produce code as good as humans, but significantly faster. Find out good patterns and practices how to keep humans in the loop to make the key decisions, and create effective feedback cycles to keep AI agents on the right path.
