If AI can build software, then what's a software engineer's role? What do software engineer actually do?
This talk will explore that very question. By examining the fundamental similarities and differences between traditional software development by 100% human effort compared to AI-assisted creation, we will notice the timeless principle and identify the timeless skills that will empower software engineers to thrive in an AI-driven future.
