Our AI Codecon conference kicked off today with Coding with AI: The End of Software Development as We Know It. Here are my opening remarks introducing the series’ themes. You can reserve your seat for upcoming AI Codecon events here.

Thanks so much for joining us today. We have over 20,000 people signed up for this event, both subscribers on the O’Reilly learning platform and those who aren’t yet subscribers. I think you’re here because you all sense what I do: We’re witnessing not the end of programming but its remarkable expansion. This is the most exciting moment in software development that I’ve seen during my more than 40 years in this industry.
