Talk 1: The fundamentals of Agentic Coding (AKA Vibe Coding) - Theodor René Carlsen
AI, whether we like it or not, has fundamentally changed the ways we work with code. In the beginning, many swapped out Stack Overflow for ChatGPT, moved from editing code to autocompleting with tools like Copilot, but now we are seeing more tools that that can write large parts of the solution for you.

Most people will relate to the feeling that “vibe coding” or “agentic coding” is a moving target, where both the models and the tools evolve at near-exponential speed. In this talk, I aim to reduce the sense of FOMO many might get when they hear people using these tools to write and refactor large parts of their codebase for them. Whether that FOMO comes from LinkedIn, X or your boss thats fully convinced that vibe coding is the future, we will try to stay grounded when meeting this new technology.

We will cover the basics so that you can actually understand what these tools are about: what they can and what they cannot do, what is mostly hype and what is actually worth checking out. And yes, we will also try to define the term "agentic coding" .

Talk 2: The Design Systems Graveyard - Kristoffer Nordström
It is said you can't succeed in building a Design System without having done so before. But building a Design System is easy - maintaining and making it grow is much more difficult. During the years many Design Systems have failed and ended up on the Design Systems Graveyard. I will share some trips and tricks that will make it less likely that you fail in your attempt of succeeding with one. Join me on a story about planning, categorising and sorting and about handling human beings and collaboration. This also have something in common with The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning. If you fail maybe your Design System will end up on The Design Systems Graveyard.

Theodor René Carlsen

Starting as a developer at a software consultancy in Oslo, he later moved to Copenhagen to try his luck. He is fascinated by how humans communicate their visions and intentions to machines, and lately that has meant spending much of his time with agentic coding tools, trying to understand how they work underneath. He was previously Lead Developer at DR (Danmarks Radio), the Danish national broadcaster, and now works as a Fullstack Developer at Impero, a cloud-based GRC platform that helps organizations simplify governance, risk, and compliance.
