In this keynote from Code Remix Summit 2026, Moderne CEO and Co-founder Jonathan Schneider makes the case for what comes next: a denser interface to code, delivered as a tools layer that sits between the model and the codebase. The talk covers how coding agents fail today, what the shape of the agentic SDLC actually requires, and what Moderne is building to close the gap.
Topics covered
- How coding agents fail today
- What the agentic SDLC requires
- The density mismatch
- Token benchmark
- Local MCP as delivery vehicle
- Prethink and Trigrep
- The industrial park argument
