“Are you truly changing your processes one by one for the long haul, adopting them with AI — that’s where your win is, not whether you have the fanciest tool. The spec-coders who just learn to code to a spec are a dying breed over the next decade.”
Adil Ajmal CTO, Fandom
“AI is really just predictive technology based on advanced data processing; the American marketing genius called it artificial intelligence so everyone would think it’s magic and spend a fortune on it, which you don’t have to.”
Wolf Ruzicka CEO, Unlimit
“It’s certainly easy to generate code now; it’s hard to evaluate whether it’s still great code.
Douglas Lawrence CTO, Salma Health
The single quality that becomes the most critical is judgment. The AI is sometimes too eager to please, and it tells you it’s complying with your request when there are parts it’s actually not.”
Dileepan Narayanan CPTO, Afiniti
