[404] – Developer Not Found: The Continuing Developer Evolution • Derek Bingham • YOW! 2025

Derek Bingham explores the rapid evolution of developer tools with AI, from coding assistants to autonomous agents. He emphasizes the shift from prompt engineering to context engineering, introduces Spec-Driven Development (SDD) as a framework for quality AI-generated code, and dispels fears about AI replacing developers, arguing instead for increased demand and the necessity of new skills like ethical and systems thinking.

Building AI Agent Systems and Scaling Challenges in Agentic AI

Scaling agentic AI systems presents unique challenges beyond traditional software scaling. This summary explains why expanding a single agent's capabilities leads to non-linear increases in cost, latency, and failure propagation. The talk frames this as a systems design problem solved by moving from a monolithic agent to a multi-agent architecture with distributed responsibilities, and it explores the critical architectural trade-offs between horizontal and vertical scaling of agent capabilities.

Building safe Payment Infrastructure for the autonomous economy — Steve Kaliski, Stripe

This talk addresses the challenge of enabling AI agents to spend money autonomously and safely. Steve Kaliski from Stripe presents a framework for separating non-deterministic discovery from deterministic transactions. He introduces three key components of Stripe's solution: Shared Payment Tokens for secure credential sharing with enforced spending limits, the Machine Payments Protocol for paying for API tool calls, and the Agent to Commerce Protocol (ACP) for structured, API-driven e-commerce checkouts. Through code examples, the talk demonstrates how these primitives create a secure and auditable payment infrastructure for the emerging autonomous economy.
