Human in the loop: Where meaningful work lives

​Join us for our final Semaloop event of 2026!

​Agents can now write the code, review the PR and ship to prod. So where does that leave the people?

​We’re asking where human judgement, ownership and craft count most once automation does the heavy lifting.

​We’ll dig into questions like:

• ​Are humans the new bottleneck, or is judgement the whole point?

• ​Should non-engineers ship to prod?

• ​What does “software engineer” mean now?

• ​Are we building systems we can’t debug?

• ​Can teams stay small forever?

• ​Who owns code nobody wrote?

​Speakers:

• ​Ilia Chikmarev, Praktika

• ​Will Deary, Sequel

• ​Rory Smith, Semaloop

​Date: 24th November 2026

​Time: 6:30pm onwards

​Address: 40 Grosvenor Gardens Mews S, London SW1W 0LD

​Agenda:

• ​6:30pm - Doors open, food & networking

• ​7:15pm - Discussion

• ​8:00pm - Q&A

• ​8:15pm - Networking & happy hour

​About Semaloop

​Most mobile teams either skip end-to-end testing or waste weeks maintaining tests that break faster than they ship. Either way, they lack confidence in every release.

​Semaloop tests your app like real users, across every flow that matters. Describe what you care about in plain language, run it across real devices, and see exactly what went wrong and why.

​As your app evolves, tests adapt in the background so problems are caught before production and your team ships every release with confidence.
