ALT Track 1. AI, Agents & The Future of Software. It’s not news that our industry has changed drastically. Models are ubiquitous. Coding is cheap. There are new primitives and abstraction layers. There are new risks. Verification has grown in popularity. Some people are concerned about the future. Others are excited beyond measure. Everyone wants to know what the future holds.

ALT Track 2. Building Reliable Software Systems. What do engineers and various stakeholders of software systems think about when they hear “reliability”? Are there surprising differences in expectations? Do the definitions change depending on the problem or industry? How do engineers build reliable systems? How do we measure reliability in systems? Does reliability always lead to increased complexity? What has changed about reliability with the boom of AI systems?

ALT Hardware has become an increasingly important topic. Many companies and startups are exploring wearables, combining hardware and software. Empirically, there’s also an increase in experiments on the hardware-software boundary by individuals. Separately, governments and companies want better chips and more data centers quickly. What are engineers doing in this space?

ALT Adora Nwodo is a multiple-award-winning engineering leader and published author with previously held engineering and leadership roles at Stack Overflow and Microsoft.
