A forward-looking panel on the shifting landscape of software development in the age of AI. As AI tools become more capable, faster, and easier to use, the software industry is facing critical questions: Are junior developers being left behind? Will senior engineers need to re-skill to stay relevant? Can AI help us learn to code—or is it starting to replace the need to learn at all? This multi-perspective panel brings together voices from industry, education, and engineering to explore how AI is transforming developer roles, hiring practices, and the path to becoming a software professional. We’ll dive into topics like:

• The future of junior roles in an AI-assisted workplace
• How senior engineers are adapting—and why their leadership still matters
• Using AI to accelerate learning, both in classrooms and self-study
• What happens when we stop growing human expertise and rely too heavily on AI
• How universities and students can prepare for a rapidly changing tech landscape
• What software companies are looking for in new hires right now
  
  

Whether you're a student, a senior engineer, an educator, or a tech leader, this conversation will equip you with insights on how to thrive in a field being reshaped before our eyes.
