AI coding tools can now write functions, refactor modules, and even ship production-ready code. But if AI can generate implementation, what becomes the differentiator for senior engineers?
We'll start with a short 5–10 minute presentation, where we’ll explore:

• The shift from “coding” to system specification
• How senior engineers evolve from AI users to AI orchestrators
• What architectural thinking looks like in an AI-accelerated workflow
• Why discernment and taste matter more than ever

After the talk, we’ll open it up for peer discussion:

• How are you using AI today?
• What skills feel more valuable now?
• Are we moving toward AI team managers instead of individual contributors?
• What does “senior” mean in 2026?

This is not a demo session. It is a thinking session.
Bring opinions. Bring concerns. Bring experiments.
