Does your choice of programming language still matter if an AI is writing the code?
The era of “vibe coding” is here. The tech industry is undergoing a massive paradigm shift. Entire applications can be built, refactored, and deployed using pure natural language and AI assistants—the traditional definition of a software engineer is changing rapidly. Many of you are left asking a critical question: Does the programming language I choose to learn still matter if the AI is doing the writing?
The short answer is yes—more than ever. However, the criteria for choosing a language have fundamentally shifted. Instead of learning a language just to talk to a computer, you must learn a language that allows you to efficiently audit, guide, and collaborate with an artificial intelligence.
Building software is rapidly shifting from typing syntax to managing AI context, but not all programming languages are created equal in the eyes of an LLM.
Join us for an eye-opening talk, where we will deconstruct the new hierarchy of coding. You’ll discover why AIs love TypeScript and Python, how vibe coding changes when dealing with massive enterprise systems, and exactly how to shift your own learning path from syntax memorisation to high-value system engineering. Don’t just learn to code—learn to direct the future.
