AI can now write software, debug systems, and generate entire applications in minutes. Some technologists are even claiming that coding is effectively “solved.”



But if AI can write the code, what happens to software engineers? Do we still need to learn programming? And why are companies still struggling to find technical talent?



On this episode of Tech Talk, we speak with Sharma Lachu, Founder and CEO of Accendo Technologies, about whether AI has truly solved coding, how teams can maximise productivity with AI tools, and what the future looks like for developers and engineers in an AI-driven world.

How does the Internet work? To be honest we don't know either. But on Tech Talk, we deconstruct the relationship between humans and technology and understand how it shapes our business and life.

Has AI “Solved” Coding?

We’re back in the land of the weird. A former karaoke company eats $17bn of trucking stocks. Claude’s 60-year-old coding skills see the COBOL cowboys ride off into the sunset as they wipe $30bn from IBM’s stock in a single day. Microsoft flexes its superhuman powers to etch our history in glass, and erect a real life Fortress of Solitude. 



Oh, and Hollywood loses its mind over ByteDance’s text to video model Seedance 2.0, which allows any casual user to make the blockbuster of their dreams.

5G-AI Convergence: Building The Smart Enterprise

Instead of talking about equitable societies, AI has once again decided we have to revert to the ‘world in peril’ format. A safety lead at Anthropic quits to pursue a future in poetry, while the US Defence Secretary seeks to label the company a risk to national security. While using those same technologies for classified military operations.



But don’t worry, we’ve got some light relief in the shape of martial robots dancing on TV.
