The Renaissance
Developer
What happens to the craft of building software in the age of AI. The closing keynote of re:Invent 2025.
Inside this work
The Renaissance Developer asked what happens to the craft of building software when AI can write code. Our answer looked less like specialisation and more like the Renaissance: curiosity across disciplines, taste, and judgment mattering more than any single skill.
I led this one from first outline to final rehearsal: the theme, the structure, the guests, the demos, and how it all lands in the room and on the stream.
