Explore the critical engineering challenges of building AI coding systems that transcend simple prototypes in this 18-minute keynote presentation. Learn from Josh Albrecht, CTO of Imbue, as he examines the fundamental technical obstacles encountered when evolving AI-assisted coding from toy applications to robust software systems through a detailed case study of Imbue's Sculptor, an experimental coding agent environment. Discover practical approaches to core challenges including safely executing code, managing context across large codebases, automating test generation, and creating systems capable of identifying potential pitfalls in AI-generated code. Gain insights into the technical underpinnings of next-generation coding agents designed to handle complex software engineering challenges, architect larger systems, increase meaningful test coverage, and design systems that are easy to debug, ultimately moving closer to AI systems that can help create maintainable software.
