We ask Uli Homann - What´s left of the hype in Software Engineering?

If you follow the AI hype on YouTube, you’ve probably heard it all: coding without engineers, autonomous AI agents fixing bugs, massive productivity boosts with GitHub Copilot, AI revolutionizing software development, and more.

At Riverty, we’ve tried plenty. We use GitHub Copilot, asked AI to refactor entire messy applications, reverse-engineered obscure XMLs, and now we’re testing adding our entire legacy codebase to GPT-4.

Now, we’re excited to welcome Uli Homann, Distinguished Architect and Corporate Vice President from Redmond. Together, we’ll discuss what’s real versus hype: What’s left of the buzz? What works? And what’s next?
