The speaker says last year's class broadly surveyed applications of coding agents across the software development lifecycle.

“There was, like, a coding agent for code review. There was a coding agent for, you know, spec design. There was a coding agent for, uh, SRE. And, you know, some of those-- of course, some of those companies still exist, but it felt like last year it was a lot more about a broad tour of here's everywhere you can use coding agents.”

“And in a way, a lot of the curriculum last year was, was geared toward exposure and this, this kind of survey, this kind of like odyssey of sorts through, hey, everything that you knew a-a-about the ISDLC is now changing because of AI.”
