Fork Pull Merge Push

Is Software Development Becoming Obsolete?

Is development becoming obsolete? We invited Miku and Pauliina to talk about software engineering — how the roles have been shaping, what the current trends and challenges are, and how we can shape the future of our profession. Tune in and join our semi-practical, semi-philosophical conversation.

Guests

Pauliina started her career as a communications consultant, but slowly life took her back to her childhood hobby - coding. She moved all the way to Australia to study at a coding bootcamp and has now been working as a software developer for over 5 years. She still thinks it was the best decision of her life. What she loves most about coding is how tangible it feels to build software one piece at a time and how rewarding it is to solve problems with technology. In her free time,, you will find her on a yoga mat or wandering in a forest.

With nearly 20 years of experience, Mikael is a passionate, future-oriented technology leader with a cultivated interest in cutting-edge technologies and the methodologies of creating exceptional digital products. While he currently has limited time to actually code at work, he still does it as a hobby. Mikael is a fan of functional programming and loves exploring new tech, surfing, and cooking.

Mikael’s core expertise and interests are the design of technology organizations, technology strategy, business, and digital strategy, innovation, software and enterprise architectures, modern process methodologies, modern leadership, self-organization, systems thinking, data, and AI.
