Session Abstract

The process of replacing developers' work has already begun. Still, some key questions are emerging: where are we now, how fast will this continue, and will the entire development eventually be done by AI? What does software development consist of? Which parts are more likely to be done by AI, and which parts will still be intensely dependent on humans? What levels of AI automation can we expect for which types of applications? Which skills in the development process will AI replace, and which will become even more important for humans? Is the future of development in a conversation between humans and AI that results in enterprise-grade code? We will explore how well today's tools assist developers in developing part or all of a software solution, what to expect in the next decade, and what future developers will look like.

Note to event organizers

Curiosity to look into the future of programmers, testers, development team leaders, and internal IT departments for software development.
