8. Project experiences 8
9. Conclusions 9
10. AI Assistants set a new level of abstraction 10 Like we had with compilers, OOP/FP, or IDEs years ago
11. There is no turning over 11 AI Assistants are improving at great speed Imagine what they will be capable of in just two years from now
12. Software Engineers are still at the helm 12 Emphasis in the “Co” of GitHub Copilot
13. Impact to learning curves is going to be a challenge 13 Yes, I am more productive, but… am I really learning new stuff? And, going forward, should we care?
14. Software Engineers will still be relevant 14 We do much more than just coding Are we ”less” engineers since the moment we stopped writing Assembler code?
15. Thank You 15
