Don't let convenience quietly erode skill
Engineers can generate working code in seconds, but understanding that code is more important than ever. As the copy-paste solution becomes even easier to reach for, teams need to be confident with analysing AI generated code and, as ever, maintain a good understanding of new tools and technologies.
This talk explores what learning in software engineering looks like in the age of AI, with a focus on mobile teams. Drawing from hands-on experience as a team lead and from building my own personal mobile apps, this talk will cover the skills teams should prioritise, how mobile engineers can build their technical knowledge while using AI tools and my top tips for training up junior colleagues in 2026.
