What AI Actually Changes in Software Engineering

Most teams have adopted AI at exactly one point in the lifecycle — a developer with an autocomplete plugin. That's the smallest win available.

The bigger one is everything around it: understanding a service nobody remembers writing, working out what breaks before you change it, generating tests that target real risk, keeping documentation true, reviewing for security. These are the parts that eat the most time, and the parts where AI is least used.

This is a 90-minute session for experienced engineers on where AI genuinely helps across the SDLC, where it quietly adds risk, and how to tell the difference — with a live demonstration on a real codebase rather than a toy example.

In 90 minutes you'll learn

What we'll cover

Where AI genuinely changes the lifecycle — and the places it quietly adds risk
Why naive RAG over source code performs badly, and what structure-aware indexing does instead
Recovering the architecture of a system that has no current documentation
Impact analysis before a change: what breaks if I touch this?
Test generation that targets risk instead of inflating coverage numbers
What must never reach a third-party model — IP, secrets and review boundaries
Agenda

How the session runs

00:00The one place everyone uses AI, and the nine places they don't
00:15Reading a codebase with AI: ASTs, symbols and why embeddings alone fail
00:35Live demonstration: querying a real repository
00:55Testing, security review and documentation that stays true
01:10Guardrails, IP boundaries and measuring whether it actually helped
01:25Live Q&A
Who it's for

Is this session for you?

Senior & Staff EngineersApply AI beyond autocomplete, across the work you actually do
Tech Leads & ArchitectsDecide where AI fits your team's workflow — and where it shouldn't
QA & SDET EngineersRisk-driven test generation instead of coverage padding
DevOps & Platform EngineersWire AI into pipelines and internal developer tooling
Engineering ManagersJudge the productivity claims before you buy or roll out
Anyone maintaining a large codebaseEspecially one nobody fully understands any more

FAQ

Before you register

Is the webinar really free?

Yes. Registration is free and there's nothing you have to buy.

Do I need AI experience?

No, but you do need real software engineering experience. This assumes you've worked on non-trivial systems.

How is this different from the AI Product Engineering session?

That one is about building AI products for your users. This one is about applying AI to how your team builds software. Different audience, different outcome — some engineers care about both.

Is this about a specific tool?

No. Tools appear in the demo, but the session is tool-agnostic and focuses on workflows that outlast any single vendor.

Will there be a live demo?

Yes, on a real open-source repository — not a toy example.

Will you tell us AI can replace developers?

No. The consistent finding is the opposite: AI raises the value of engineers who understand systems deeply, and is unreliable in the hands of those who don't.

Can I ask questions?

Yes, there's a live Q&A at the end.

Will it be recorded?

Recording policy is confirmed per session; registrants are told in advance.
