See all- From COBOL to Co-Pilot: 70 Years of “Soon We Won’t Need Programmers AnymoreVolta, Halifax, NS
Speaker: Andrew Burke (Co-Founder, Developer at BeanCounter Technologies)
RSVP Here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/from-cobol-to-co-pilot-70-years-of-soon-we-wont-need-programmers-anymore-tickets-1444720480849Join us for a captivating journey through seven decades of tech predictions, hype cycles, and the enduring spirit of developers. From the early promises of COBOL automating business logic to the current buzz around AI tools like GitHub Copilot, this TechTalk Atlantic event explores a recurring theme in tech: "We won’t need programmers anymore"—and why that never quite comes true.
We'll dig into the historical moments when new technologies promised to replace coders, examine why those predictions fell short, and discuss what today's AI moment means for the future of software development. Whether you’re a seasoned engineer, an emerging dev, or just tech-curious, this talk offers a mix of history, insight, and a healthy dose of humor.
Expect real talk, bold questions, and a forward-looking conversation on what it means to be a programmer in an age of rapid automation. Spoiler: programmers aren’t going anywhere—but their tools (and titles) are evolving fast.
🧠 Insights from the past.
💡 Lessons for the future.
