First there was customer experience, then user experience. Now the idea of developer experience is taking off. Developer Experience encompasses the tools, processes, and culture that shape a developer’s daily work. The idea is that if organizations create an enriching and engaging environment, developers build better software, faster, leading to greater business success and a thriving developer community.

The evolution of developer experience will redefine how software is built, empowering developers to focus more on innovation and less on routine tasks. As an RPG developer, you might wonder if any of these changes in process and technology will make an impact to your day-to-day work. While some might never come to the RPG world, there are several that are likely either on their way or at your doorstep now.

In this session, Rashmi Agrawal – COMMON board member will discuss:

• What are the changes that are happening for developers today and in the future 
• How to differentiate between hype and reality for RPG developers
• How AI plays a role in this evolution (hint: it’s not all code assist)
