Building with Reasoning Machines: The Next Decade of Software

AI & ML·Keynote (45 min)

AI systems that plan, write, and review code are no longer a novelty — they're a coworker. This keynote looks at what a decade of reasoning machines means for how we architect systems, grow careers, and decide what "engineering" even is. No hype, no doom: a field report from teams already living in that future.
