Bringing Autonomy to Software Engineering

​'Gradient Descending' is a series of roundtables on AI: curated deep dives with technical builders. Past roundtables discussions covered RL Environments, Evals, Fine-Tuning, Agent Frameworks, Open Source Models, and Knowledge Graphs with companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Cursor, Scale AI and many more.

​For this one, we’re joined by Dmytro Yaroshenko (Applied AI Solutions) from Factory to talk about what software engineering looks like as agents start doing more of the actual work.

​We’ll look at

• ​Why bother with autonomy?

• ​From coding assistants to autonomous delivery: what actually changes across the SDLC

• ​Where agents still break down today, and what needs to improve. before teams can hand over more of the development process

• ​How this shifts the role of the engineer and what takes time to get right

​As always, expect a deep technical discussion with fellow builders.

​Agenda:

​Arrivals: 08:30–09:00
Roundtable discussion: 09:00–10:00
