QCon London 2026: AI Agents Write Your Code. What’s Left For Humans?
Hannah Foxwell began her QCon London 2026 talk by noting that the long-sought velocity in development has arrived, but the industry is unsure how to use it. She set aside the technical details of agentic coding, focusing instead on its implications for the people working with these systems.

Agoda engineers developed Storefront, a Rust-based S3-compatible reverse proxy that improves load balancing, request routing, and observability across large-scale object storage systems. The proxy addresses DNS-based distribution limitations, implements latency-aware routing, cross-data-center optimizations, IO safeguards, credential-less authentication, and exposes telemetry via OpenTelemetry.

This eMag explores the shift from AI experimentation to production, where legacy defenses fall short. We dive into the critical trifecta of AI-driven phishing, model poisoning, and cloud governance. By rethinking security as a lifecycle responsibility, this issue provides a roadmap for securing the machine age through layered tactics, robust MLOps, and responsible deployment frameworks.

Hi Miek and welcome to Codetown. I like your fractal photo. Did you generate it? If so, we'd love to see the code. Hope you can make it to the next OrlandoJUG meeting. You might join the OrlandoJUG Town here at Codetown so you'll automatically be on the meeting mailing list. All the best, Mike
