AI coding agents feel like magic... right up until they collide with production code.
For teams maintaining legacy systems, these agents often hallucinate APIs, run off on tangents, and shatter trust faster than an unreviewed hotfix at 5pm. Ignoring the past won't save us, because new code becomes old!
We can do better, and we will. In this session we'll go over emerging strategies for improving the accuracy of coding agents on real codebases, benchmarks such as SWE-bench that evaluate our progress, and their limitations. Expect to walk away with actionable techniques and a renewed respect for code that came before us and the challenges ahead.
