Presentation: A Software Engineer at the time of AI 

Software is the result of the embryonal vision that crossed the mind of a handful of great thinkers since the 17th century. Recognized fathers of computers were not looking to build what we call software today, but they were, more ambitiously, looking to mechanize human reasoning and emulate the human brain.  

Today we have applications that attempt to behave like humans and conversational programming (prompt engineering) is a real thing. Has the NVidia CEO bet what would shape the future of coding? If a world in which software writes software without (all the) engineers (of today) seems unrealistic, consider that fifty years ago software world without assembly, manual memory management, written documentation looked even dystopic.  

I built a career trying to predict the road ahead, step by step without pretending to look too far ahead. I’ll try to repeat the trick in this session.
