Most devs run AI coding tools with full user permissions and never think twice. Your SSH keys, AWS creds and secrets are one wrong command away from exposure. Full article >> nearform.com/digital-commun…

Nearform AI Tech Lead @alfonso_graz walks through a production-minded workflow: two agents, different jobs. One builds the codebase, one ships to the client. Watch below👇 #EngineeredDifferently @aiDotEngineer youtu.be/aHhB3sjGjkI?si…

Spec-driven development scales your mistakes just as readily as your successes. @alfonso_graz breaks down the five failure modes we keep hitting in real #AInative delivery, and how to catch them before they compound. >> nf.ie/4g2P1DN #SDD

Processing a single batch of Anti-Money Laundering cases used to take months. Here's how we cut that down to hours in just six weeks, inside a live, regulated environment. 💡 Read the case study >> nearform.com/work/state-own…

The value for CTOs isn't 10x speed; it's resilience you can evidence quarter after quarter through safer change, fewer incidents, and an audit trail that holds up. 📖 Read the full article >> nf.ie/4vHwgdl

Stop maintaining. Start evolving. That was the challenge our Technical Director & AI-native Specialist, @moogster31, put to the room at #AIDevCon recently. 📹 If you're working on legacy systems and wondering where to start, catch the full talk >> nf.ie/4v2WYgB

Our latest article covers how to apply BMad's agentic workflows to real brownfield codebases. 💡 What if your team could get up to speed on a legacy codebase in minutes, not weeks? 📖 Learn more >> nf.ie/4dzEHAa #SDD #BMad

Most teams don’t get to rebuild from scratch. They inherit the giant codebase. The fragile pipeline. The undocumented logic nobody wants to touch. Katie Roberts is joining AI Native DevCon London 2026 to talk about what AI-native engineering looks like in the real world, where technical debt already exists and systems can’t simply be replaced overnight. As a Technical Director and AI Native Specialist at Nearform ( @nearform ), Katie works with large organizations navigating the difficult transition from experimentation to practical adoption. Her focus is on helping teams modernize safely inside mature environments where reliability matters as much as speed. Her session, Stop Maintaining, Start Evolving, reframes AI not as a shortcut for building new systems, but as a tool for reclaiming old ones. What this session explores • Why most AI-native conversations ignore brownfield reality • How to apply the Strangler Fig Pattern using AI-assisted workflows • Techniques for documenting and testing unknown legacy behavior • Ways to isolate risky parts of a codebase for safer evolution • How AI can help reduce technical debt instead of accelerating it This is a practical session grounded in enterprise engineering, delivery risk, and long-term sustainability, not just rapid prototyping. If your team is trying to modernize existing systems without breaking everything around them, this talk will feel immediately relevant.

Most teams are still using AI coding tools like better autocomplete. Alfonso Graziano and Steve Goode from Nearform ( @nearform ) are running a hands-on workshop at AI Native DevCon London 2026 focused on what happens after prompting: building production-ready systems with Spec-Driven Development. Because the hard part isn’t getting AI to generate code anymore. The hard part is making sure the right thing gets built consistently. Their workshop, Spec-Driven Development: From Prompting to Production-Ready Systems, focuses on treating specs as real engineering artifacts, not throwaway documentation. Over 90 minutes, attendees will take vague requirements, turn them into structured specifications, and use those specs to drive reliable implementation with AI-assisted tooling. What this workshop covers • How to write specs that reduce ambiguity instead of creating more of it • Why “good prompting” is not enough for production systems • Practical workflows for validation, refinement, and execution • Techniques for keeping implementation aligned with intent over time • How to use AI as an executor of specifications, not a replacement for engineering judgment Alfonso brings deep experience across AI systems, distributed architecture, and engineering leadership, while Steve leads AI-native engineering enablement across Nearform’s teams and client engagements. This is not a theory session. You’ll leave with workflows, templates, and practices you can apply immediately to real projects. If your team is trying to move from fast demos to reliable delivery with AI-assisted development, this workshop will give you a practical framework for doing it properly.
