Not slowly. Not in some distant future. Right now. And most companies are responding to it in exactly the wrong way.
This video is going to cover a lot of ground, so let me tell you upfront what you are getting into.
We will start with the numbers. Hard data on what AI is already doing to productivity, revenue, and the way code gets written. Then we will get into the human side of this, because behind those numbers are real people going through an identity crisis, and I do not think enough people are talking about that honestly.
From there, we will dig into what actually changes about how software gets built. New development cycles, spec-first workflows, how much autonomy you give AI agents, and why context engineering is the single biggest factor most teams are ignoring.
Then comes the part that makes people uncomfortable. How you restructure your company. Org design, team composition, pod models, platform teams, which roles expand, which ones shrink, and what happens to junior developers when nobody is hiring them anymore.
We will wrap up with concrete steps you can take Monday morning. No vague advice. Specific moves.
This is based on my personal experiences, on working with and talking to a lot of companies, seeing what works and what does not, and doing a lot of analysis. Let’s get into it.</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en-us</language><lastBuildDate/><atom:link href="https://devopstoolkit.live/development/ai-just-killed-the-software-engineer-and-created-something-better/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/></channel></rss>
