Your mission, should you choose to accept it: build software that doesn’t live forever but lives just long enough.

Imagine a world where code isn’t a permanent artifact but a disposable agent, generated from specs, deployed for a single operation, and erased without a trace. No tech debt. No maintenance. Just mission complete.

But when your code self-destructs, where does accountability go?

In this session, we’ll debrief on the rise of single-use code: ephemeral, AI-generated software that operates under strict orders to do the job and then disappear. We’ll explore the three foundations reshaping how we design, trust, and deploy software:

Governance: shifting from pull requests to policy directives

Data quality: becoming the new intelligence validation layer

Ethics: ensuring every mission executes responsibly, even if the agent, the code, doesn’t make it back

When code is temporary but data is forever, the real mission isn’t to write perfect code. It’s to design perfect intent.
