Insights from the Polyglot Conference on AI Acceleration 🌐
I recently attended the Polyglot Conference in Vancouver, exploring the “Second Order Effects of AI Acceleration.” Here are my key takeaways:
- AI-driven Development: The rise of “vibe coding” allows rapid development but risks creating unstable systems.
- Custom Tools on the Rise: Companies are increasingly favoring custom solutions over off-the-shelf products, leading to potential technical debt.
- Cost Dynamics: We’re in a subsidy phase that will inevitably shift, possibly increasing costs.
- Talent Evolution: Junior developers are advancing faster, but often lack depth in critical thinking.
- Contrarian Thinking: As AI simplifies basic tasks, critical questioning will become invaluable in tech leadership.
AI is reshaping software development, presenting both opportunities and challenges. The industry must focus on sustainable practices while preserving our creative problem-solving ability.
