Back to the Future of Software: How to Survive AI with Intent Integrity Chain
A presentation at Geecon in in Kraków, Poland by Baruch Sadogursky
× × × × × who uses llm on a daily basis? for work/out of work for coding? what are you using it for? when you’re using it for code, are you getting the results you want?
i will never trust code i didnt write myself”
640 kilobytes ought to be enough for anybody!

an infinite number of monkeys with an infinite number of typewriters and an infinite amount of time could eventually write the works of shakespeare

AI-GENERATE D CODE IS NOT G REAT
ON T OP OF T HAT, IT IS DA NGEROUS
ASKING IT TO FIX IT IS AS R ELIABLE AS THE REST OF IT

THANK YOU! × × × × @JBARUCH @LIGOLNIK #INTENTINTEGRITYCHAIN SPEAKING.JBARU.CH
Great Scott! The robots are coming for your job—and this time, they brought unit tests. Join Doc and Marty from the Software Future (Baruch and Leonid) as they race back in time to help you fight the machines using only your domain expertise, a well-structured prompt, and a pinch of Gherkin. This keynote is your survival guide for the AI age: how to close the intent-to-prompt chasm before it swallows your roadmap, how to weaponize the Intent Integrity Chain to steer AI output safely, and why the Art of the Possible is your most powerful resistance tool. Expect:
- Bad puns
- Good tests
- Wild demos
And a new way to look at AI—not as your overlord, but your intern (on a short leash) The machines may be fast. But with structure, constraint, and a little time travel, you’ll still be the one writing the future.
