Fast Code, Slow Growth? Developers in the Age of AI

I went from writing my first lines of code to co-founding INTELLI-T, and somewhere along the way, I discovered that the hardest bugs to fix aren't in your codebase. They're in how developers think about their craft and their career. I help developers grow beyond the keyboard: navigating interviews, stepping into leadership, and building the career they actually want. At INTELLI-T, we bring that same mindset to .NET projects, turning great developers into trusted partners for our clients.

AI has made developers faster than ever. Tasks that once took hours now take minutes. But this raises an uncomfortable question: are we actually getting better?

In this session, we explore how AI is changing the way developers learn, think, and grow. Why do some developers improve faster than ever, while others plateau? Why are junior developers both empowered and at risk?

From a mentor’s perspective, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of how AI shapes your growth as a developer and what it takes to stay sharp in a world where speed is no longer the differentiator.
