With the advent of coding assistance tools powered by Large Language Models, enthusiasts are already predicting the end of the programming profession, and some leaders want to know if they can now cut software teams in half. This talk gives an overview of what is actually possible today, and walks through capabilities of Large Language Models that can help us be more effective at software delivery.

It will go beyond coding: How can AI help boost productivity, creativity, and effectiveness in other parts of the lifecycle as well? For which situations and tasks is it helpful to turn to a GenAI assistant, and when are you better off on your own? What are the risks and challenges? At the end of this talk, you will have a better understanding of the possibilities and caveats of using this technology to assist with software delivery.
