“The most dangerous phrase in our language is: We’ve always done it this way.” - Grace Hopper

Ever since the initial release of GPT-3.5, the world of software development has undergone a disruptive change like never before. Most of us have already adopted tools like GitHub Copilot - and if you haven’t, you really should - but did we stop and ask: is everything we learned about software engineering still true? Does TDD still make sense when we can generate huge chunks of code at once? What counts as continuous delivery? Shouldn’t we question everything right now?

I think we should, so in this talk, I’ll explore how Agile, DevOps, continuous delivery, and the broader processes of software development have evolved over the past 1-2 years since the advent of large language models. We’ll investigate how these tools have disrupted traditional workflows, the challenges they pose, and the new opportunities they create for engineering teams.
