Watch Session: AI Literacy for Developers: Thinking Clearly While AI Writes the Code

This article covers a keynote by Russell Miles on AI literacy for developers, addressing the fear and identity shift in software engineering due to AI. It discusses the evolution from pre-AI literacy (memorizing syntax) to post-AI literacy (understanding semantics and context). The concept of 'Habitat Engineering' is introduced as a way to create environments for optimal human-AI collaboration, treating LLMs as 'new joiners' rather than tools. The session emphasizes thinking clearly while AI writes code, moving beyond hype to practical collaboration.
