Overview
You hear it in the media, on your social feed, in meetings with coworkers: AI’s advance means the end of programming as a career. We don’t buy it. AI isn’t replacing developers; it’s opening up new frontiers to be explored and new skills to be mastered. There will be disruption, sure. But like every true technological revolution, AI expands the palette available to human creativity, and the market will demand new services that put it to use.
Programming is a field in transition. A transition bigger than the move to the GUI, to the web, to mobile, or the cloud. Developers are already at work inventing that future, harnessing the power of AI to do things that were previously impossible while testing the limits of what works well and what has still to be invented. There are already hundreds of new tools, approaches, and models to try out. Companies must shift to AI-native interfaces and evolve their business models—or be replaced by those that commit to the new paradigm.
As Alvin Toffler once wrote, “The future always comes too fast and in the wrong order.” There’s a lot to sort out. This event shares news from the future, brought to us by developers and organizations who are exploring what works and inventing what does not (yet). We’ll feature fireside chats with senior technical executives, brilliant engineers, and entrepreneurs; practical talks on the new tools, workflows, and hacks that are shaping the emerging discipline of programming with AI; and demos of how experienced developers are using the new tools to supercharge their productivity.

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.Addison B.
