The Continued Developer Evolution

Saturday 10:40 AM–11:10 AM in Ballroom 1

The developer landscape is undergoing a profound transformation. What began with coding assistants has rapidly evolved into AI agents and autonomous systems that are reshaping how we build software. This evolution isn't slowing down—it's accelerating.

In this session, we'll examine the current state of the developer ecosystem and how AI is fundamentally changing what it means to be a developer.

Whether you're concerned about keeping pace with change or excited about the possibilities ahead, this session will equip you with insights to make decisions about your development practices and career path in an AI-augmented future.
