AI is changing software development—but the biggest risk for engineers may not be AI itself, but how we use it.
This talk explores the everyday habits that can slowly make software engineers less valuable: blindly accepting AI-generated code, skipping thorough code reviews, shipping code we don't fully understand, relying on AI to debug problems, and outsourcing technical decisions and judgment.
Rather than arguing that AI will simply "take our jobs," the talk looks at a more subtle scenario: what happens when engineers gradually stop doing the thinking that makes engineering valuable?
The goal is to identify these traps and discuss how we can use AI to amplify our engineering skills instead of replacing them.
