Presenters Matt Pocock Source AI Engineer Europe 2026 🚀 Why Software Fundamentals are Your Superpower in the Age of AI Do you feel like your hard-earned engineering skills are losing their value in a world dominated by LLMs? Matt Pocock has a comforting, yet provocative message for you: software fundamentals matter now more than they ever have. While many believe we are entering a specs-to-code era where we can simply ignore the implementation, the reality is much messier. If you treat code as a disposable byproduct, you fall into the trap of vibe coding. You run the compiler, get garbage, run it again, and get even worse garbage. ...

Presenters Tuomas Artman Gergely Orosz Source AI Engineer Europe 2026 🚀 Beyond the Feature Factory: Why AI Makes “Taste” the Ultimate Competitive Advantage In a world where AI can generate code in seconds, the biggest risk to software isn’t moving too slowly—it’s moving too fast in the wrong direction. 📉 In a recent conversation between Tuomas Artman (Co-founder of Linear) and Gergely Orosz (The Pragmatic Engineer), the duo explored how the “shipping frenzy” triggered by AI agents might actually be degrading the quality of modern software. They dive deep into how Linear maintains its legendary quality bar and why the future of engineering belongs to those who think like product owners. ...

Presenters Malte Ubl Source AI Engineer Europe 2026 The Rise of the AI Engineer: Building the Future of Software 🚀 We are currently witnessing one of the most significant shifts in the history of technology. As Malte Ubl, CTO of Vercel, recently shared at the AI Engineer Conference in Europe, we aren’t just witnessing a trend—we are participating in the legitimate successor to web development. As software engineering faces unprecedented disruption, we are moving into an era where agents are both the builders and the users of our infrastructure. Here is how we navigate this new frontier. ...

Presenters David Soria Parra Source AI Engineer Europe 2026 The Agent Ecosystem: From Demos to Production-Ready Connectivity 🚀 Hey tech enthusiasts! David Soria Parra here, and I’m buzzing with excitement about the incredible evolution of the agent ecosystem. We’ve come a long way from simple specs and local tools to a vibrant, production-ready landscape. Let’s dive into what’s happening and where we’re headed! MCP Applications: Shipping Intelligence, Not Just Code 💡 Imagine an agent that ships its own interface, not as a plugin or a hardcoded feature, but as a fully functional application served over an MCP server. This is the power of MCP applications! You can take this server, deploy it anywhere – the cloud, ChatGPT, VS Code Cursor – and it just works. This requires a crucial element: semantics. Both the client and the server need to understand each other, how to render the UI, and that an interface is indeed coming. This is where a robust protocol becomes essential. ...

Presenters Peter Steinberger Source AI Engineer Europe 2026 🚀 The State of the Claw: Navigating the Future of Agentic AI 🤖 In just five months, OpenClaw has achieved what many thought impossible: it has become the fastest-growing open-source project in GitHub’s history. With nearly 30,000 commits, 2,000 contributors, and a trajectory that defies traditional growth charts, OpenClaw is redefining how we interact with personal AI agents. Peter Steinberger, the project’s creator and a recent addition to the OpenAI team, took the stage to discuss the “State of the Claw,” the challenges of hyper-growth, and why the future of AI belongs to the users. ...
