# A Genius With Amnesia - Victor Savkin, Nx

Imagine a genie grants your wish and materializes the best engineer in the world, John Carmack in his prime, to work on your codebase. The catch: he can only see a tiny corner of it, and he forgets everything between interactions. No matter how good he is, the value isn’t there. This is what coding agents are today. We need to fix it. Speakers: - Victor Savkin (Nx): Victor is the creator of Nx, the agentic monorepo platform, and Polygraph, the meta-harness for maximum agent autonomy, with 20+ years building high-performance frameworks and build tools.
