I Stopped Writing Most of My Code
IT’s ABOUT TECH #13, Basel · June 10, 2026 · FHNW Aula
A 15-minute showcase at swiss made software’s IT’s ABOUT TECH evening on the theme “Hand’s on software engineering was yesterday, now it’s AI — Really?”. Not a tool talk. A story about what changed for a long-time engineer after Claude Opus 4.5 and Claude Code arrived, and what happens to a backlog of years-old ideas when the bottleneck stops being time.
Key takeaways:
- The bottleneck moved from translating thoughts into syntax to deciding what to build and whether the result is acceptable
- AI did not generate the ideas. It let existing ideas escape the notebook
- The human did not disappear. The human moved up the stack

Self-Learning WAF: Using Generative AI to Tame ModSecurity False Positives — NCS-W01
RSAC 2026 · March 25, 2026 · Moscone Center, San Francisco
ModSecurity with the OWASP Core Rule Set (CRS) is a powerful open-source WAF, but tuning false positives remains painful and time-consuming. This talk introduced a self-learning approach that uses generative AI to analyze blocked requests, determine legitimacy, and automatically generate tuning rules, reducing manual effort while keeping humans in the loop for approval.
Key takeaways:
- How generative AI can classify WAF false positives with high accuracy
- A practical pipeline for automated rule generation with human oversight
- Lessons learned from applying this approach in production environments
Media-friendly version: Using generative AI to automatically detect and fix WAF false positives — keeping ModSecurity effective without the tuning headache.
