Ai+ Training

The adoption of AI into software development has been bumpy. While autocomplete tools like Copilot have gone mainstream, autonomous agents like Devin and OpenHands have generated both enthusiasm and skepticism. Some engineers claim they generate a 10x productivity boost; others that they just create noise and tech debt. The difference between the enthusiasts and the skeptics is that the enthusiasts have reasonable expectations for what these agents can do, and have both practical and intuitive knowledge for how to use them effectively. In this session, we'll talk about what tasks are appropriate for today's software agents, what tasks they might start to succeed at in 2025, and what tasks are best left to humans no matter how good they get.
