No More Broken Handoffs between Product & Engineering
Benedikt Stemmildt, Zamina Ahmad · code.talks 2025 · English
Book us for your stage
For conferences, meetups and podcasts.
- Stop Building Features. Build the Factory That Builds Them. Stop building features with an agent and build the production line that builds them, from ticket to pull request: a real client factory, opened live.
- Agents Across the SDLC: From Refinement to Retro Benedikt shows how specialized agents work across the whole software lifecycle, from refinement and planning to retrospectives, while people keep control.
- Why Vibe-Coding Fails (And How to Fix It) Why vibe coding gives messy code and how agentic engineering with feedback loops fixes it: a live demo building a feature inside a legacy app.
- No More Broken Handoffs between Product & Engineering Zamina and Benedikt on why broken handoffs, not tools or skills, slow product and engineering, and how shared live prototypes replace static specs.
- Vibe-Coding Is Killing Your AI Productivity You tried GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, even Claude. But instead of productivity gains, you got messy code and frustrated teams.
- How to Safely Run Your Agent in YOLO Mode Benedikt shows how Dev Containers and ClaudeBox let agents install packages, change files and run commands while your main system stays protected.
