Outcoded by Our Kids: It Took Us 20 Years, They Used 20 Prompts!
What took us two decades—learning frameworks, debugging builds, arguing about folder structure—took our kids… 20 prompts.
This is the painfully real story of two tech dads—Jan and Bart—whose 11 and 12 year-old sons built games using agentic platforms. With no coding experience, they created levels, enemies, sounds, and score systems by simply describing what they wanted. No IDE. No syntax errors. Just intent, interpreted by a growing wave of AI agents.
In this talk, we contrast their lightning-fast creative process with our traditional, structured dev mindset. We showcase their games, break down how these tools work, and explore what this means for software development.
Some key questions we asked ourselves:
- Are we witnessing the end of traditional programming?
- Are we still relevant as architects, developers, and engineers?
- What roles and skills matter in a world of AI-assisted, no-code creation?
- How do we move from being builders to being orchestrators?
Funny, humbling, and deeply relevant—this session is for every dev who's ever thought, "That’s not how we used to do it..." And for those who are ready to embrace what’s next.
This is no longer the job I signed for...
Every industry encounters moments of disruption, and for IT, that moment is now. With AI reshaping the landscape, the role of developers is undergoing a profound transformation. Whether you view this as a threat or an opportunity, one thing is clear: change is here. In this session, Bart will help you navigate the path to becoming an AI-native developer and uncover what this new era means for your career.
The future of your role starts here.
