CTO Spotlight

For decades, software development has revolved around syntax, logic, and structured abstractions. However, with the rise of LLM-powered software development, we are shifting toward model-centric software engineering.

The locus of control is shifting from human programmers to AI-powered coding automation. This shift requires us to rethink how we structure software, validate correctness, and define programming itself.

In a recent article published on O’Reilly Radar, “The End of Programming as We Know It,” Tim O’Reilly explores the impact of large language models (LLMs) and AI agents on software engineering.

I took O'Reilly's article and contextualized it within the broader movement toward agentic architecture and AI-driven development.

Technology Spotlight

The emergence of AI-powered multi-agent systems is transforming industries, with AI-driven software development at the forefront. A recent white paper from Google DeepMind, "Towards an AI Co-Scientist," introduced Gemini 2.0, a revolutionary multi-agent AI system that iteratively generates, refines, and validates scientific hypotheses. 

Inspired by this model, a similar framework can be applied to AI-augmented software development, optimizing engineering workflows, improving code quality, and accelerating innovation.

By leveraging multi-agent AI for code review, sprint planning, and automated bug detection, software teams can transition from manual, heuristic-driven processes to highly scalable, data-driven paradigms.

Industry Spotlight

It's been a privilege chatting with Engineering and Product leaders on our CTO2CTO podcast.

In our latest episode I speak with Derek Wise , CPTO at Civica. We discussed the role of technology leadership, blending product and engineering functions, and navigating the complexities of modern software development.

Derek's insights reveal that while the tools and industries change, the core principles of leadership, customer focus, and continuous learning remain universal.

Look for "CTO2CTO" wherever you get your podcasts. You can also listen on our website's episode page.

Thank You

Thanks for reading – let me know what you thought of this month's issue. See you again next month.
