This talk explores the skills needed for success, including both the skills AI can't replace and AI-specific skills.

Discover how to equip the next generation of engineers to be innovative problem-solvers, not just code producers.

Who is this talk for?

This talk is for engineering leaders, managers, mentors, and senior engineers who are responsible for hiring, developing, and mentoring junior talent.

It's also relevant for junior engineers themselves, or anyone interested in the future of software development.
