In this fireside chat, Bolt.new's CEO and CTO join Anthropic's Head of Applied AI to explore how AI is reshaping software development. They'll discuss the rise of "vibe coding," whether learning to code still matters, how the developer role is evolving from implementer to architect, and what's next as enterprise adoption accelerates. Expect candid takes on AI hype, scaling laws, technical debt, and what transformative AI actually looks like in production.
