2025 changed what it means to be a developer.

And 2026 is about to change even more.

This Tessl episode brings a year-end reflection on how agents reshaped software development and what developers need to unlearn next, featuring Reuven Cohen, Founder of the Agentic Foundation, Maor Shlomo, Founder of Base44, and Maksim Shaposhnikov, Technical Member at Tessl.

On the docket:
• Reuven Cohen on why most agent systems fail and what agentic engineering demands
• Maor Shlomo on where vibe coding works, where it breaks, and how guardrails protect long-term software
• Maksim Shaposhnikov on developer autonomy, IDE vs terminal agents, and designing for delegation

This episode looks ahead to 2026 and examines the systems developers will be responsible for next.
