The future of software development: Now with less software development

The Register 2 months ago

More than 3,000 software developers gathered at a conference organized by DeepLearning.AI in San Francisco to discuss how AI will reshape software development roles and practices. Speakers including executives from AMD and AWS emphasized reducing defect rates, spec-driven development, and the shift toward AI agents handling entire codebases rather than partial tasks. The consensus suggests software engineering will increasingly involve agent orchestration and management rather than manual coding, with development teams becoming smaller and more focused on overseeing AI-generated output.

IBM's AI coding 'partner' Bob hits general availability

The Register 2 months ago

IBM announced general availability of Bob, an AI coding assistant that combines frontier LLMs, open-source models, and IBM's Granite SLM family to support the full software development lifecycle. Internal testing with 80,000 IBM employees reported 45 percent average productivity gains, with the Z mainframe package currently offered as a free technical preview and standard pricing ranging from $20 to $200 per month. The tool aims to help organizations analyze systems with technical debt and legacy documentation, though it has previously faced security vulnerabilities including malware manipulation and data exfiltration risks.
