Agent Experience Is the New Developer Experience | Sean Roberts

The AI Native Dev - from Copilot today to AI Native Software Development tomorrow

Your codebase already has AI contributors. If they don’t understand it, that’s on you.
In this segment from AI Native DevCon, Sean Roberts, VP of Applied AI at Netlify, explains why agent experience is, in fact, an extension of developer experience.
He also shares:

• why hallucinations are what inference looks like when context is missing.
• why knowledge graphs matter for large codebases.
• using feedback loops to help agents learn from real deployments.
• the downside of standardising on a single agent
