Context Engineering SF: Advanced Context Engineering for Agents - Dex Horthy

In this talk, Dex Horthy, founder of Human Layer and YC alum, explores the evolution of context engineering and its role in building reliable AI coding agents. He shares lessons from the “12 Factor Agents” manifesto through to recent large-scale experiments in AI code generation. The talk covers why context matters more than prompts, how spec-first development changes team workflows, and practical strategies for working with coding agents in complex, real-world codebases. Dex also highlights challenges from startups to enterprises and shows how context engineering can turn AI prototypes into production-ready systems.
