Development 2026 — Vibecoding, Assistants, Agents

This is the third offline meetup of the #bezvotetogovotvsego community in Tashkent, bringing participants together for a focused discussion on the future of software development under AI-driven change.

The session explores how vibecoding, AI assistants, and agent-based systems are already being applied in real-world engineering processes, and what AI-powered SDLC / PDLC models look like in practice today.

Key topics include the evolving role of developers in the era of AI tools, potential convergence into a “universal engineer,” and where assisted and agentic development improves delivery versus where it introduces complexity and risks. The discussion also touches on the growing hype around vibecoding and the shift in developer mindset it reflects.

• Robert Vaganyan — ex-CPO, Octobank
