The fundamentals of software and software engineering are undergoing a significant transformation. This talk introduces AIware (AI-Powered Software), and explores the emergence of Agentic Software Engineering. We’ll discuss how to move beyond informal “vibe coding” towards “vibe engineering” and ultimately to “Agentic SE” a more disciplined and powerful framework for creating production-grade software. This talk will explore a future where the developer’s role evolves from simply writing code to becoming an orchestrator, collaborator, and mentor for AI teammates as we move beyond the era of simple “copilots” into one of a more dynamic, collaborative partnership between humans and AI. We will ground this vision in findings from our analysis of AIDev, a large-scale dataset of ~1 Million agent-generated pull requests. We will highlight what real agentic work looks like in the wild, revealing both the impressive potential and the practical challenges that lie ahead. Join me to discover how we can build systems of greater complexity and scale through conversation, intent, and creative partnership with AI. This is a chance to understand the foundational principles of this emerging field and to prepare for the next revolution in technology. For those eager to get a preview of the foundational pillars of this new era, you can explore the core concepts in our recent paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.06216
