Development is shifting from writing code to orchestrating AI agents through a four-step workflow: architecture, design, plan, implementation. You do no work yourself, you steer. 2. Every user will soon have a personal AI agent, much like a browser. Agents use skills, MCP, and memory to drive applications on the user's behalf. 3. AI agents face new security risks. Websites can detect agents and serve hidden HTML instructions, commands encoded in image pixels, or jailbreaks inside PDFs. Defenses are weak. ---- Quotes: "A week in AI is a year in any other field. The best model is whichever one shipped this morning." "We stopped writing code. We started describing it. The IDE is dead. Long live the task list." "One prompt, thousand tool calls, 4,000 lines, and a coffee break." ---- Summary: In this talk I cover the AI updates for April 24. Claude still leads the leaderboard.
