It's the beginning of the end for programming languages and what it means to be a developer. Large language models are now doing the compute. It's a democratization, allowing people who are not programmers to use code for how they work and live. We'll explore how LLMs are advancing, what we see happening now in developer communities, and how the rapid advancement of AI should be treated from a programming and developer context. What can programmers do to help themselves?
Moderated by Alex Williams
The panel is:
Bob van Luijt, CEO & Co-Founder @ Weaviate
Joe Duffy, Co-Founder, CEO, Pulumi
