Software Engineering Is Becoming Plan and Review — Louis Knight-Webb, Vibe Kanban
Summary
The transcript discusses the evolving role of software engineers in an AI-driven landscape, focusing on how AI tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT are transforming traditional coding work from writing code to primarily planning and reviewing. The speaker, Louie, founder of Vibe Canvas, shares insights from his experience in the AI community and suggests that future software engineering will increasingly center around directing and validating AI-generated code. The key practical takeaway is that engineers should prepare to spend more time strategically guiding AI systems and carefully reviewing their outputs, rather than writing code line by line.
