Gabor Erényi:
The Future is Not a Project Plan - Is Planning and Forecasting Possible in an Uncertain World?

We are used to planning the future as if it were a project: define the destination, create the roadmap, estimate the timing, and execute.
But how good are we actually at predicting what comes next?
From flying cars and self-driving vehicles to AI, cancer cures and space travel, history is full of predictions that were spectacularly early, late, right—or completely wrong.
So what happens when the world becomes too complex and uncertain for reliable forecasts?
Maybe the question isn't “How do we predict the future?” but “How do we prepare for a future we cannot predict?”

Who Understands the Software We’re Building? – Development in the AI Era

AI can generate code in minutes that takes hours to understand and review. What is a “10×” speedup worth in that world, and how does it change software development, testing, and the way we build expertise? Through everyday examples, we’ll explore AI’s limitations and how we can adapt our teams’ practices so that more code also means better software. Along the way, we’ll ask: why do AI’s mistakes bother us so much?
