The future of engineering

Stage 2
This is the fifth year of our future of engineering conversation. First it was about teams getting more senior. Last year it was the push into generative AI. This year it’s different. Limits are being hit, compute is a story of its own, and we keep hearing that teams are shrinking. Too often this conversation stops at surface-level gen AI tools. Today we go a level deeper: what’s actually changing in how we build, from agentic systems to physical AI, and what that means for everyone in the room
