Haven't we seen this "replace developers thing" before? My buddy @trishagee flagged this article from Stephan Schwab cataloging the claims over the years, Jevon's Paradox, and keeping humans and thinking in the loop.

Why does TDD work so well with "AI"-assisted coding? I'm glad you asked.
"AI amplifies developer capability. It doesn’t replace the need for people who understand both the problem domain and the technical landscape."

Does it frustrate you that there's never any time to learn stuff or do new things at work? I gave a keynote at DevoxxUK about how to sell what you want to do to the business - how to get time or money to invest in a new idea or new way of doing things:
A theme that really stood out at @Gradle's DPE Summit conference is that while developers feel productive using GenAI for coding, this isn't necessarily translating into more features/fixes/customer value for organisations. So I wrote a blog post about it

Productivity and Fun are not mutually exclusive for developers! Watch my talk with @holly_cummins from QCon London this year to see why, and get tips for having more fun AND being more productive (transcript included)
Holly Cummins & Trisha Gee explain how to achieve the "Double Win" - boosting both developer joy and productivity. They expose the flaws of traditional metrics, identify sources of developer toil (slow builds, flaky tests), and share methods and techniques (like boredom and play) for engineering leaders and architects to unlock creativity and a 31% boost in positive-brain productivity.
Today, Laurent Ploix and I will be talking about troubleshooting in the world of GenAI, and demoing how to use AI in IntelliJ IDEA along with @Gradle's Develocity to make troubleshooting build and test failures much faster and easier. Join us!

Are you in a technical leadership position? Do you worry you’re not technical enough?
You’re not alone! It’s an incredibly common concern, and it can have a huge negative impact on your ability to do your job effectively.
Your career is worth investing in. Your employers need you to be operating at maximum capacity. And that includes understanding what you need to know, what you DON’T need to know, and how to function in the spaces between. >>>
I have 68 slides for my 15 min lightning talk for DPE Summit. Even for me, that's a bit much. And I haven't finished writing it yet!
(There's about 3 more tickets left if you want one!)
