What we'll cover
Agents already pick up a ticket from Jira, write the code, run the tests and open a pull request. So what is left for the human? Oleksandr Blazheiko explains why AI devalues the mechanical writing of code but raises the value of engineering thinking: understanding the system, its architecture and infrastructure, and owning the outcome.
Topics
- Four levels of working with AI: from autocomplete to an agentic process
- Why the "take a ticket, write the code" role is disappearing
- Context management as the new engineering skill
- Correct code, wrong architecture: an example AI misses
- What running an app in the real world takes: Docker, CI/CD, PaaS, Swarm vs Kubernetes
- Storage, monitoring and security — what production can't live without
- The architecture of a modern web app on a single diagram
- Trade-offs: what you can sacrifice and what you can't — and why the agent doesn't know
- Who is accountable when the system loses data or money
