- AI Software Engineering is reshaping how software is built, tested, and run, marking a paradigm shift.
- Engineers using AI tools are moving faster, with less time spent on coding and more on design and orchestration.
- The AI Powered Engineering Maturity Framework outlines five levels of AI integration, from code completion to autonomous teams.
- Build-time agents generate static code, while run-time agents operate dynamically in production, each with distinct advantages and challenges.
- Productivity gains with AI agents are real but require a learning curve and effective prompting strategies.
- The future of software engineering may shift focus from manual coding to problem definition and system architecture.
- Leaders must address the organizational impact of AI tools, including team structures, training, and governance.
- Adoption of AI tools at Commonwealth Bank has shown up to 3x increase in merged pull-requests.
- The most sought-after engineering skill may soon be the ability to manage AI agents rather than proficiency in programming languages.
