Sessions
AI agents are reshaping how we work, how we code, how we search — and quietly, how we think about ourselves as practitioners. The ground is shifting. And nobody has all the answers yet. That is exactly why we are doing this. We invite you into an open, interactive workshop in the community space: no slides, no frontal talk, no recording. Just honest conversations about what skills still matter, what is becoming obsolete, and what we need to build to navigate what is coming.
AI is no longer just a technical tool. It is fundamentally rewriting how we approach every professional task and we are now seeing a shift that impacts every role in every industry. In this panel discussion we will discuss the question no one can answer too confidently: in a world where AI writes the code, drafts the report, and automates the pipeline, what exactly are we still supposed to be learning?
