## Session Description
Now that the models are powerful and the agents are capable, why are we still approaching software development as if it's the same activity that it used to be, but "faster"? GitHub Next thinks about what this future wants to be through two lenses: - Automation: intelligence allows us to automate much more than we could with heuristics alone. How should that automation work? What guardrails do we have to put in place so that our CISOs allow us to do that? - Collaboration: agents can understand anything in your codebase, but what about all the facts that are in the heads of your teammates? Whether it's corporate politics or taste, how do we get the humans to leak that context where agents can see it and use it to produce better outcomes? Realtime multiplayer tools have displaced every turn-based tool out there. What should that look like for code? It's not going to be as simple as multiple cursors. Come by to hear more about what GitHub Next is learning about the changing shape of software creation — one that allows us to build better, not merely faster. One that allows us to scale up teams, not only individuals. And one where automations buy us time for craft and polish, not slop. We were promised flying cars, instead we have fifteen terminals. Let's have a nicer future than that.

## Evidence Graph
This evidence graph is generated from currently linked source material: official schedule text, related video pages, cached transcripts, visible slide text, dense/reconstructed slide pages, and AI slide-classification audits.

### Media Signals
No linked video, transcript, or slide source has been attached yet.

### Agent Reading Notes
Use these signals to refine the synopsis, topic links, people/company context, and method notes. If a source is a related external video rather than an exact official recording, keep it framed as supporting evidence.

## Transcript Status
