In this episode, Todd Merrill shares why software engineering is not dead, but rapidly evolving because of AI. He breaks down how leaders can use practical AI, coding tools, and automation to move faster, while also explaining why strategy, planning, and security still require real expertise.Key Takeaways:- AI is not replacing great people. People who use AI well will outperform those who do not.- Software engineering is changing fast, but experienced strategy and technical leadership still matter.- Practical AI starts with small, useful workflows that reduce repetitive work and create leverage.- Vibe coding can help launch ideas quickly, but it often creates security, scale, and architecture problems.- Companies should crawl, walk, then run when adopting AI across teams and operations.
