The Tools of an Agentic Engineer
As many developers, I'm using agents for software development. I went all-in Agentic Engineering in early 2026 and quickly found that many coding practices are still very relevant. I've learned (and constantly learning) which developer tools and methods work well with this workflow - and what I think should be avoided. In this talk, I will reflect on what I think Agentic Engineering is about (and what it isn't), the shift that I made towards Agentic Engineering and what I have in my toolbox for software development.

My name is David and I'm a software developer. Colleagues and friends may know me as an early adopter of agile ideas and test driven development. I am passionate about things like that, and share the things I learn to the community and the people I work with. My favorite programming languages are Python and Clojure. On my spare time I practice outdoor Parkour & contribute to Open Source.
