In this world that is becoming more and more controlled and managed by software, where most companies become "software" companies, the role of developers has become more important than ever before. This software has the potential to affect people in real life scenarios, making jobs easier or more complex. As part of this non-technical lecture, we will address this interesting topic of how we came to the point that software actually "ate" the world, and how we need to feed that "beast" more and more to satisfy our appetites. Finally, we will answer questions about how all of the above affects businesses and how the world has struggled with progress throughout history. Sounds interesting? Come and see how software and developers are affecting the world, what we can deduce from this and advance our software development process!
