The Future of Software Craft in the Age of AI

Date: Tuesday, September 4th at 8am PT / 11am ET

LLM-based coding assistants are revolutionizing software development, much like DevOps, cloud computing, and agile development did previously. The age of AI is reinventing what it means to be a software builder, but it’s more complex than simply predicting that software development jobs will be replaced with AI agents. The history of innovation has shown that these warnings are almost always exaggerated.

Roles will evolve as technologists move up the value chain, replacing toil with higher-productivity workflows. AI-based code generators will continue to increase software complexity and risk, particularly given the poor security track record of AI-generated software thus far. 

Join Snyk, the leader in AI Trust and Developer Security, for a wide-ranging discussion of the future of software development, including:

  • How will developer experience evolve in response to trends like “vibe coding” and the rapid adoption of AI-based development environments?
  • What happens to role definitions in the software engineering space, now that the ability to build software is uncoupled from the skillset of writing code?
  • Why should tomorrow’s AI-powered software engineers prioritize security, and how must AppSec evolve to meet the new demands?
  • Are legacy security training and education methods still valid, or do we need a new approach for enabling AI-era software builders to understand risk?
  • What skills should the software engineers of today prioritize to remain competitive as AI increasingly reshapes the market?
