​Talk: Software Craftsmanship - Past, Present and Future

​Software craftsmanship has long meant care for the code itself: readable structure, thoughtful naming, tests that explain intent. As AI writes more of the first draft, engineers spend less time producing code and more time directing, reviewing and correcting it. Some see the craft disappearing. Others see it moving to a different part of the work.

​Does it matter how code looks if a human rarely reads it? Where does judgement show up when the typing is automated? And how do early-career engineers build good instincts when the routine work that once taught them is handled by a tool?

​Meri will discuss what good engineering looks like when AI writes the code.

​About Meri:

Meri is an experienced CTO and leader of technology organisations. They particularly enjoy helping others to level up as technical leaders and managers.

​They have led teams ranging in size from 30 to 300, in a range of organizations from Procter & Gamble, to the Government Digital Service, MOO, Monzo, Pleo and patient-inspired AI-driven rare disease treatment discovery company Healx.

​Expert Panel: Factory vs. Craft

​As more teams attempt to build their agentic software factory, what are we learning about the future of software as a craft?

Meri will be joined by engineering leaders who are pushing the boundaries of what's possible with AI today, asking the important question "what's left for us, the developers?"
