Node:Holm Live

This was an incredible podcast with Hadla Bergman who spoke at the very first Node:Holm event back in September! Was great to catch up with Hadla as she maybe making an appearance as a DJ at the next event so keep an on the next announcements!

We discussed the fundamental changes in software engineering entering the AI era.  What parts of the role are becoming more important as AI takes over more of the code generation itself? How do you stay relevant as developer?

With Hadla's amazing rise with Einride it was insighful to hear her opinion on the next generation of AI-assisted development tools. Also how effective collaboration looks like between humans and AI in the development landscape.

Community Questions

Den Odell, Staff Engineer at Canva

Does Hadla see a future where engineers spend all their time reviewing, testing, and measuring AI-generated code rather than writing any of it themselves? And if so, what skills become most valuable: deep systems knowledge, performance intuition, or something else entirely?

Steve Sutherland, Senior Product Marketing Manager at Brite Payments

What are the top 3 traits and/or habits you'd recommend aspiring or early-stage software engineers to develop?

Hanyue Zhou, Senior Engineer at Ubiquiti

“Will open-source ecosystems thrive or weaken when much code is created by proprietary AI models?”

Loved this podcast with Joel! It really emphasises what Node:Holm is all about. He is easily one of the furthest travellers coming down from Örnsköldsvik, Northern Sweden!

It was great to get an insight into Joels background talk about gaming, start up journeys, getting active and some nostalgia talking about Goldeneye on the N64!

There was a huge emphasis on getting kids active which is what Fuzed do. Joel’s experience in startups is second to none and has a start up mastery course you can follow.
