Are your skills and experience ready for the AI reality? [ukr]
Just yesterday, AI was seen as a simple “assistant.” Today, it’s already reshaping hiring, salaries, career growth, and the role of the developer itself. Junior positions are disappearing, code generation is becoming cheaper, and companies are increasingly valuing adaptability and AI skills over years of experience.
During this panel discussion, we’ll talk without rose-colored glasses: is AI really taking jobs, why senior-level experience no longer guarantees an advantage, who is winning the new AI race — engineers or prompt-native specialists — and whether software engineering itself is turning into a completely different profession.
We’ll discuss what skills will actually matter for developers in the next 2–3 years, whether middle engineers will become the new juniors, and whether the Ukrainian IT market is adapting to AI-driven changes faster than the rest of the world.
