Coding with AI: The End of Software Development as We Know It
Event description
You hear it in the media, on your social feed, in meetings with coworkers: AI’s advance means the end of programming as a career. We don’t buy it.
AI isn’t replacing developers; it’s supercharging them. Knowledgeable developers will provide new kinds of value at a higher level as the number of new technologies they’ll be able to put to work explodes. Many types of boilerplate coding are being semiautomated with LLMs or specialized software agents. But whenever programming gets cheaper and easier, there’s more of it to do, new problems to solve, and new opportunities to be had.
This moment is bigger than the GUI, the web, or mobile devices. Companies must shift to AI-native interfaces and evolve their business models—or be replaced by those that commit to the new paradigm. Some are already on their way. Coding with AI will highlight the approaches they’ve taken.
Do you have a story to share about AI and code transformation? We want to hear it.
Topics we’re interested in:
- What has changed about how you code, what you work on, and the tools you use?
- Copilots versus ChatOps versus delegation to reasoning models: Which is most impactful and why? We’d love to hear real case studies from AI-amplified development teams.
- Are we working toward a new development stack? How are your architectures and patterns changing as you move toward AI-native applications?
- How are you putting agent engineering to work to build the next generation of AI-powered interfaces?
- How is AI changing the makeup and workload of your dev teams?
- What have you done to maintain quality standards with AI-generated code?
- What types of tasks are you taking on that were previously too time-consuming to accomplish?
- What problems have you encountered that you wish others had told you about when you were starting out on your journey?
- What kinds of fun projects are you taking on in your free time?
