AI will reshape Software Engineering – but how remains an open question. Will the developers’ role evolve, or vanish entirely? Are we heading toward an Innovator’s Paradise or an Infinite Pile of Garbage? Visions of the future are so wildly divergent that we struggle to even agree on terms, let alone direction. In this talk, we’ll cut through the noise by exploring six distinct “endgames” for programming in the age of AI. Each offers a different lens on what we build, how we build, and who (or what) is doing the building. By naming and examining these futures, we gain a clearer view of what’s ahead and a chance to choose our destination.
