State of Software Delivery and AI

Listening to the folks at Harness talk about how AI will impact Software Delivery in 2025 and beyond. 37 years ago, I had to take a course on AI as part of my Computer Engineering degree, but no one valued that course. Fast forward to today, AI is another “label” that everyone wants in on. Executives in various companies are willing to spend money for 1-2 quarters, to be able to tell their peers “We do AI.” Same thing happened with “DevOps” and “Testing”. No, you don’t do any of these “things” well.

Really good conversations with Dean Clark (GFT) about Shadow AI, Eric Baran (AWS) about CodeGen bottlenecks and what’s next in AI and SDLC with the great Gene Kim. Has AI helped reduce the time that developers use to actually write code? Yes and no. Now, it takes us less time to write mundane tasks, so that we can spend more time writing more meaningful things.

Loved the session and can’t wait to see more changes this year in 2025.
