The evolution of software engineering in the age of AI
September 12th, 2025
Large Language Models aren’t just changing how software is written—they’re changing what it means to be a software engineer. From code generation and automated testing to intelligent agents and new development patterns, AI is reshaping the entire engineering lifecycle.
Engineering AI is designed to help your team stay ahead of these shifts—not just by learning how to use AI tools, but by understanding how to lead, architect, and collaborate in an AI-shaped world.
