セッション概要
As AI continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace—sparking excitement, disruption, and even existential questions about the future of software engineering—what does it take to build a platform that truly stands the test of time? In this keynote, we’ll explore what it takes to design and operate platforms that not only deliver tangible value today but also remain adaptable and resilient in a rapidly changing landscape. Drawing on real-world experiences and lessons learned, we’ll examine what makes a platform great—from developer experience to maintainability and scalability. Most importantly, we’ll ask: how can we ensure the platforms we build today continue to empower engineers—not replace them—in the years to come?
