Marlene Mhangami

AI Agents have become increasingly good at generating code. Developers who know how to use agentic tools as they program can increase their productivity significantly. In this talk, Marlene will share how Django Developers can get the most out of coding agents in their development workflows. She'll walk through how she uses MCP (Model Context Protocol), Agent Skills and Instructions to create semi-autonomous agents that can complete multi-step tasks end-to-end. She'll also walk through best practices for validating the output of agents end to end with unit tests and Playwright. As part of this talk we'll also discuss the societal implications of AI on developers and how we can best prepare for the future thats both coming and already here.
