Presentation: Context is the New Code

Patrick Debois — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Patrick Debois discusses how to manage, evaluate, distribute, and observe context using proven software engineering practices. He shares how treating context like code - complete with testing, CI/CD, package managers, and security scanning - enables engineering leaders to reliably scale AI coding agents, maintain control over non-deterministic outputs, and build long-term organizational knowledge.
