Abstract
The developer population is growing by orders of magnitude. The new AI tooling is turning domain experts and operators into builders. Unfortunately, the tools and the platforms they are building on weren't designed for them.
At Netlify, over the past year we've onboarded millions of new developers, many of whom have never written code by hand. We've witnessed firsthand what works and how the tools that we use to build things break at this new scale of shipping.
In this talk, I'll cover:
- How does our responsibility as developers change in this new world?
- How do we see dev tooling, architecture, security, and open source evolve in this environment?
- What tools and platforms need to change now to serve these new builders?
- Why web frameworks matter less than ever, but also more than ever
