"The world runs on software; that is not going anywhere." - Kevlin Henney
In this episode, I talk with Kevlin Henney, author and speaker, about what software engineering will actually look like in 2034. Kevlin challenges the hype around AI code generation testing and explains why most developers using generative AI are actually removing the fun parts of their job while creating legacy code faster. We explore why programming languages won't change as radically as people think, why your testing skills will become your most valuable asset, and what recent data already shows about declining code quality on GitHub.
Kevlin Henney is an independent consultant, speaker, writer and trainer who has contributed to the current development of programming techniques, software architecture and unit testing. He has been a columnist for numerous magazines and websites and has served on many committees. He is also co-author of "A Pattern Language for Distributed Computing" and "On Patterns and Pattern Languages" from the "Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture" series, as well as editor of "97 Things Every Programmer Should Know" and co-editor of "97 Things Every Java Programmer Should Know".
