Reports of our death are greatly exaggerated, Rajendran Dandapani tells audience at DevSparks Chennai
Zoho Corporation Director Rajendran Dandapani said AI may take over more of the work of writing code, but developers will increasingly need to focus on deciding what to build, directing AI systems, and judging what they produce.
Rajendran Dandapani, Director at Zoho Corporation, delivered an opening session titled 'The Developer is Dead. Long Live the Developer' at the DevSparks Chennai event. Despite the ominous title, Dandapani's argument was not about the disappearance of developers, but rather the changing nature of their work. He emphasized that while AI agents can write code that is often good enough, it does not mean developers are becoming obsolete. Instead, Dandapani highlighted the evolving role of developers in this AI-driven era.
