The AI-Powered Developer: What Your Job Will Really Look Like by Dustin P Gaspard

Presentation Description

Will dev jobs exist in the future? It’s not a binary question. We’ll explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping software development and what this means for the next generation of developers and engineers. Drawing on the history of technological abstraction—from transistors to cloud computing—the talk frames AI not as a threat but as the next layer of evolution. Attendees will learn how AI is shifting developer responsibilities away from low-level coding toward designing, integrating, and optimizing systems, and how embracing these changes can accelerate their careers.
