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

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?
