With the rise of AI-assisted coding, cloud platforms, low-code tools, and powerful frameworks, much of the technical heavy lifting in software development is being automated or simplified. Some even dream about programming as a profession becoming obsolete. But what are actually the tasks of a software engineer nowadays and in the future?
Today’s most effective software engineers already think and act beyond code: they engage with user problems, contribute to product direction, and actively shape meaningful solutions which they then implement with technology. This talk explores what it takes to build successful, future-proof collaboration between software developers and the other key functions in digital product teams.
