AI Native Dev - New York

The AI Native Dev community will host a New York meetup on 16 September from 18:00 to 22:30 EDT at 111 W 19th St, featuring two talks on multi-agent software development. Guy Eisenkot, Co-Founder & CEO of Baz, will present "Steer-pocolypse: Multi-agent coding agents are reinventing (and breaking) Agile," and Sahil Deshmukh, Member of Technical Staff at Tessl, will present "Building Your Dark Factory: Engineering the Future of AI-Powered Development." The event is hosted by clay.com and is positioned as an after-party for Lead Dev NYC attendees.

You've gone from one coding agent to a handful, and they're all committing to the same repo at once. Agile wasn't built for that. Neither was most of your pipeline. If you're steering a fleet of agents through a single codebase, watching your process bend in ways nobody planned for, and you want to hear how other people are actually handling it, then this meetup is for you. No product pitches, all experience from the trenches. If you're at the Lead Dev NYC, this is the perfect after-party. Kindly hosted by the awesome folks at clay.com. Agenda 18:00 Venue opens 18:30 Talk 1: Steer-pocolypse: Multi-agent coding agents are reinventing (and breaking) Agile by Guy Eisenkot 19:00 Talk 2: Building Your Dark Factory: Engineering the Future of AI-Powered Development by Sahil Deshmukh 19:30 Networking 20:30 THE END Building Your Dark Factory: Engineering the Future of AI-Powered Development Harness engineering is emerging as a new core competency for agentic engineers. Discover how Tessl is architecting a self-optimizing development pipeline, and what it means for engineering teams everywhere. Sahil Deshmukh, Member of Technical Staff at Tessl Sahil is a Member of Technical Staff at Tessl, where he works across product and engineering on the systems and workflows that help developers build with AI agents. Previously, he contributed to product and engineering efforts for MongoDB’s Relational Migrator, focusing on data and migration infrastructure improvements. Sahil loves solving meaningful and challenging problems. He is deeply committed to learning, especially from all the amazing teams and communities he works with and is trying share those learnings with the wider developer community. Steer-pocolypse: Multi-agent coding agents are reinventing (and breaking) Agile Abstract: When coding agents operate concurrently inside a single repository, the real complexity becomes continuous steering and trajectory alignment.This talk dissects the control-plane challenges of keeping autonomous agents conflict-free and productively aligned in real-world development.

Previously, he led the AppSec business at Palo Alto Networks under Prisma Cloud and co-founded Bridgecrew, where he developed Checkov, a widely used open-source IaC scanner before its acquisition by Palo Alto Networks.
