Coding Agents Lunch & Learn Session 23: What’s New in Coding Agents?

Join us for Session 23 of the Coding Agents Lunch & Learn, our weekly community gathering for anyone interested in coding agents, agentic AI, AI-powered developer tools, and the rapidly evolving world of software development.

This week, we’re putting a special spotlight on AI security and the risks emerging around agents and AI-powered systems.

We’ll be joined by Ads Dawson, Staff AI Security Researcher at Dreadnode, for a conversation on the Hugging Face security incident and other agent-related security flaws developers and builders should be keeping an eye on.

As coding agents become more capable and increasingly integrated into development workflows, understanding where things can go wrong is just as important as understanding what these systems can do. Ads will share his perspective on the latest security challenges, real-world failures, and the risks we should be thinking about when building and deploying agentic systems.

After the featured discussion, we’ll open things up for questions, conversation, and community discussion around the broader state of coding agents and AI security.

Whether you’re actively building agents, experimenting with AI coding tools, researching the space, or simply curious about what’s happening, this is a casual place to learn from experts, ask questions, share ideas, and connect with the community.

Bring your lunch, bring your questions, and come hang out with us!
