AgenticDevDays 2026 in Stockholm: Fireside Chat on the Agentic SDLC

Great to join AgenticDevDays 2026 at Nalen in Stockholm for the closing Fireside Chat: What’s Ahead in Agentic SDLC — What’s Next Step?, together with Kajsa Norin, Rebecka Storm, and Johan Ribbeklint.

Trust, autonomy, and the evolving role of developers

The panel exchanged perspectives on trust, autonomy, and the evolving role of developers as agentic systems mature — where AI assistance ends and AI delegation begins, and what that shift means for the people building software.

From software engineering to system stewardship

One idea I shared on stage:

The future "developer" may not primarily write code, but design, supervise, and evolve self-improving agents that continuously generate, test, critique, and refine software systems. We are moving from software engineering toward system stewardship — defining goals, constraints, feedback loops, and trust boundaries for autonomous builders. The most important skill may soon be not coding faster, but orchestrating intelligence responsibly.

Big thanks to Robert Westin and the AgenticDevDays organizing team for putting this together — and for the nice photos.
