AI lowers the barrier to building things. But it raises the bar for building the *right* things.

@lucamezzalira & Teena on what actually changes for architects in the AI era — and what emphatically does not.

Spoiler: empathy is now a technical skill.

Another AI agent framework? 😅

@springrod (creator of Spring) argues that agents need more than prompts, tools & hope.

Planning, orchestration, guardrails, domain models, and explainability all matter if you want agents that actually work.

#GOTOpodcast: @rtfeldman and Anjana Vakil talk about rewriting the Roc compiler from Rust to Zig during the exact period AI coding tools went from interesting to really useful.

[GOTO @GOTOcon]

25 years after the #AgileManifesto, should the original authors have a reunion?

@martinfowler's answer is surprisingly humble:
"We wrote the manifesto. Now it's for others to continue."

Plus a perfect punchline from @KentBeck 😄

A normal developer sees a file with 1 billion rows.

@royvanrijn sees a challenge 😅

This talk is a wild ride through #Java optimization, profiling, memory mapping, parallelism, and shaving milliseconds off a seemingly impossible problem.

Debugging less because the software can prove itself correct? 😳

At @yow_conf Nada Amin explored:
⚡ Metaprogramming
⚡ Program synthesis
⚡ Formal verification
⚡ AI-assisted correctness

This is the kind of talk that makes you rethink programming itself

In this #GOTOPodcast episode, Martin Fowler and Kent Beck sit down to talk about AI, software engineering, and nearly 30 years of watching our industry evolve.

[GOTO @GOTOcon]

What happens when your cloud vendor knows more about your infrastructure than you do?

@JakeWarner (Cycle) & Charles Humble dig into Sovereign Cloud: data residency, control plane trust, and whether geopolitics is about to fragment the internet.

AI doesn’t have to mean billion-$ hype.

@krisajenkins shows how to build personal AI tools with MCP:
⚡ context-rich assistants
⚡ custom tools
⚡ local workflows
⚡ AI that actually helps your life

Also: “MCP is just JSON-RPC in a trench coat”

AI is bringing spec-driven development back. Sort of.

In this #GOTOPodcast episode, @gojkoadzic and Daniel Terhorst-North discuss what is working with AI-assisted development right now.

🎧 Listen in: https://t.co/uXmDK0HJ6p

[GOTO @GOTOcon]

One line of code "fixes" the bug. Creates five new ones.

Dennis Hansen spent 60+ years in aerospace and defense learning why modeling upfront is the only way to avoid that. His new GOTO Book Club episode with Jorge Orellana is the antidote.

Software engineering is basically a D&D campaign:
⚔️ chaotic parties
🎲 unexpected bugs
🧙 mysterious legacy systems
🐉 production incidents

@Brunty explains why tabletop RPGs & #EngineeringTeams have more in common than you think 😄

WebAssembly running inside #Kubernetes… with a 300KB container?! 😳

@nicolas_frankel demos:
⚡ #Wasm on Kubernetes
⚡ Tiny container images
⚡ Rust + #WasmEdge
⚡ HTTP servers in #WebAssembly
⚡ Why this might (or might not) be the future

In this #GOTOPodcast Q&A, Ken Hughes talks about something surprisingly simple:

People simply remember how you made them feel.

*employee experience
*AI-driven personalization
*why ROI can become a very strange lens for measuring human experience

70% of devs using AI don't distrust its output and @davefarley77 is scared.

Dave & @a_bangser break down why #ContinuousDelivery isn't just surviving the AI era — it's more essential than ever.

Small steps. Verified. Always. 👇

AI productivity gains?
AI agents?
AI-generated everything?

@ondfisk asks an uncomfortable Q:
What if we’re optimizing the wrong problem?

A sharp & funny talk on hype, SW teams, productivity, customer value & why process may be the real villain.

Java keeps “dying” while half the internet quietly runs on it.
#GOTOpodcast: Ben Evans takes a closer look at where Java stands in 2026.

🎧 Listen to the episode: https://t.co/uXmDK0HJ6p

[GOTO @GOTOcon]

Java called them "exceptions". Go calls them "panics". There’s a reason for that — and it shapes everything.

Dr. Barry Feigenbaum spent decades writing #Java, switched to #Golang, and wrote the book that bridges the two.

The next AI wave isn’t just chatbots.
It’s robots, multimodal reasoning, synthetic data, edge AI, autonomous systems, and models that can actually "think" before answering.

@katjasrz explains where AI is heading next 👀

[GOTO @GOTOcon]

What if building a full-stack AWS app was actually… fast?

@ErikCH demos AI-assisted app development using:
⚡ CDK
⚡ Amplify Gen 2
⚡ Bedrock
⚡ Next.js
⚡ AI coding workflows
