Andrey Kudievskiy–CEO of Distillery–joins us for this episode of The 1:1 Podcast.
We discuss the real world impact of AI, advice for software engineers still struggling to land a role in this challenging job market, and some predictions about the future.
Takeaways:
* At Distillery, integrating AI tools is making developers between 40% and 60% more productive but is not replacing their jobs. They have seen even bigger gains in generating test data (approximately 2-3x).
* Today’s challenging job market for software engineers is mostly due to pandemic overhiring, not AI.
* For engineers struggling to find a new role in the current job market, you may have skills outside the job description which can help you stand out. For example, at Distillery developers who can communicate in multiple languages may get more opportunities given the company’s multinational clients.
