As AI becomes more ingrained in software development, the role of developers is evolving. They are no longer only coders but must be leaders, orchestrating AI capabilities to work more efficiently. This talk dives into the skills required in this new era, focusing on clear communication of requirements, context, constraints, and a methodical approach. This is much broader than prompt engineering. Developers will learn to bridge the gap between technical execution and strategic vision, while company managers will gain insights into empowering their software teams to thrive in the age of AI.
