I'm not here to tell you software engineering is ending soon. Nobody can put
27+
a reliable date on that, and pretending otherwise is a distraction. But we
28+
also have to admit something humbling: a year ago, most of us would not have
29+
predicted coding agents would be this good. That should make us less
30+
confident about predicting what they'll be able to do one year, or five
31+
years, from now.
32+
33+
34+
So let's use "The Last Software Engineer" as a thought exercise. If AI keeps
35+
taking over more of the implementation work, what remains most human and
36+
valuable for us to do? In this talk, we'll take one step back from the
37+
hypothetical end and focus on the durable skill that has always separated
38+
great engineers from merely productive ones: judgment.
39+
40+
41+
The future belongs not to people who only know how to build, but to people
42+
who know what should be built. We'll talk about product engineering,
43+
accountability, trade-offs, constraints, evaluation, and how to keep making
44+
software worth having in an AI era.
