Scott Sauber

AI is changing software development faster than anyone expected. New tools are cutting coding time, automating testing, and reshaping workflows. As these tools become even more advanced, the value engineers bring to the table is shifting.

Join us for our next Lean BYTES on February 4, where Lean TECHniques’ Director of Engineering, Scott Sauber, will discuss how the role of software engineers is evolving and what software development will look like twenty years from now.

From becoming trusted business and technology consultants to honing management and soft skills, Scott will explore what it takes to stay relevant and impactful in a world where AI handles more of the technical work. You’ll also learn why a solid understanding of coding is still critical for troubleshooting and validation, and leave with practical steps to adapt as the industry evolves.

Signups are closed for this event.

Cloud was supposed to make everything easier — and in many ways, it does. But as your environment grows into mission-critical infrastructure, it can also start to feel like the wild wild west. Teams move fast, flexibility fuels innovation, but without the right guardrails? Costs spiral. Security gaps emerge. Performance takes a hit. And often, organizations don’t realize the full impact until it’s too late.
