AI is changing how software is created—and what it means to be a software engineer. We’ll explore how AI agents are reshaping development: where they accelerate progress, where they fall short, and what’s changing for the profession. Along the way, we’ll share failure modes, lessons learned, and propose ways engineers and organizations can adapt. Real talk, no hype.
