Navigating uncharted waters: coding agents and language evolution

As AI agents become increasingly integrated into software development, we find ourselves facing questions about how our programming languages and tools should evolve, in order to make coding agents and ourselves more productive.

This talk breaks down coding agents into distinct axes (instructions, tools, and runtimes) and discusses practical solutions (AGENTS.md, runtime introspection, etc) to improve both developer and agentic experiences, whether you're using AI tools daily or building developer tooling.
