TL;DR
Day 1 of AI Native DevCon was a practical reality check for AI-native software development. IRL tickets were sold out, the room was packed with 650+ builders. Agents are moving beyond demos, and teams now need better skills, context, verification, security, and enablement to make them dependable.

The first day of DevCon felt less like a normal developer conference and more like the industry collectively agreeing on something important. Coding agents are powerful, but they do not become production-ready; production readiness is earned through reliability, testing, and governance, not just compelling demonstrations.
The common thread was reliability. How do we make AI-native development work for teams, not just polished demos?
