Another strong session at @gophercon.com ! Florin Pățan’s workshop brought together developers focused on writing production-ready Go systems and improving the way they design, test, and maintain software. Sharing a few photos from the workshop 👇

AI coding agents don't fail because they're bad at writing code. They fail when they're given too much context, too many responsibilities, and too little engineering discipline. Our latest article explores practical techniques for building AI workflows 📖 : www.ardanlabs.com/news/2026/ai...

AI Coding Agents Don't Need Better Prompts. They Need Better Engineering.

AI agents are non-deterministic software components, not magicians. Production reliability comes from context engineering, verification, and strict engineering …

🧠 AI won't magically follow your engineering standards... ...unless you've actually documented them. An AGENTS.md (or CLAUDE.md) file gives your coding agent the context it needs to make better decisions, follow your conventions, and stay aligned with your project.

Better software starts with building stronger engineering communities. It's the conversations between sessions, the hallway discussions, & engineers sharing real production experience. That's why we believe better communities build better software. www.ardanlabs.com/news/2026/bu...

Building Better Software Starts with Stronger Communities

Ardan Labs invests in conferences, meetups, workshops, and developer organizations that help engineers connect, share production lessons, and build better software.

The best part of a conference isn't always on stage. The conversations in the hallway, over coffee, or after a session are often where ideas get challenged, partnerships begin, & real engineering happens. Sometimes the most valuable "talk" isn't on the schedule.

The question isn't "Can AI agents write code?" It's "Can they operate safely, reliably, & at scale in production?" The teams getting real value from AI are moving beyond demos and focusing on engineering discipline. Want to learn more? Read our latest article: www.ardanlabs.com/news/2026/wh...

What Engineers Think About AI Agents: Production Reality vs. Hype

Modern AI agents can generate code and run multi-step workflows, but production reliability depends on verification, observability, and engineering judgment not model capability alone.

Everyone wants fully autonomous AI agents. The teams succeeding in production want something else: predictable systems. The real challenge isn't generating more code. It's building AI workflows you can trust.
