Artificial intelligence is advancing at an unprecedented pace, transforming the software development landscape. While AI currently serves as an assistant, the emergence of autonomous AI raises significant questions about its impact on developers. Will we be replaced by AGI, agentic AI, or the next energy-adsorbing, hyped breakthrough from OpenAI, Meta, or Google? What exactly is vibe coding? And can we stay ahead, adapt, and lead in this AI-driven world?
In his signature charismatic style, Sander Hoogendoorn, CTO at iBOOD.com and a seasoned developer with over four decades of experience, confronts these pressing issues head-on. He will explore the tangible benefits AI offers developers and critically assess how AI is reshaping our approaches to work, learning, and innovation. What can AI truly do for developers today?
The discussion will delve into code quality, balancing short-term gains with long-term maintainability, new forms of technical debt, and understanding who uses which tools and why. Most importantly, he will address the looming question: Will AI replace developers, or can we harness its (often hallucinating) power to tackle even more significant challenges and even more quickly resolve larger business problems?
Join this thought-provoking session to cut through the hype, challenge prevailing assumptions, and discover how you, as a developer, can not only survive but thrive in the exponential age of AI.
