How AI will change software engineering – with Martin Fowler
I am not really sure what to say about the video. It seems pretty same-old? One of those conversations everyone in the space has had a million times.

One of the things that stood out to me was the amount of people who said they vibe coded. I thought that was really low. My understanding is that most people are using AI in some form, whether it's for code generation, debugging, or just general assistance. But! ~20% seemed really low for something that I thought was pushed pretty hard by companies. Also, its really interesting to see the pain points really visualized in the survey. No one trusts blindly (good) and the most common use case is not code generation, but actually searching for syntax, answers, and documentation. This might be a bit of legacy users not wanting to let got of their ways, but it also might mean that they literally work faster and better without code gen. Especially when you consider the largest frustration was that code was ALMOST right, but not quite, which is a common issue with code generation.
