Software Engineering in 2027 or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love AI Vibe Coding

by Peter Somerville | at Minnebar 19

AI models and tools are improving at blazing speed. The CEO of Anthropic predicts that in 3-6 months, AI will be writing 90% of code. Is he serious? Is he right? And if so, what does this mean for software engineering teams? Are we doomed? 😅😅

As a Marine Corps veteran, Peter Somerville is accustomed to working in fast-moving, high-uncertainty environments, and his 10+ years working in startups leads him to believe that the next few years will offer exciting opportunities for adaptable software teams and developers that can master the new AI-powered landscape.

This session is ideal for anyone focused on how AI technology is driving change in the software and startup world. No knowledge of or experience with software development is needed. Peter will share his thoughts, and then foster a discussion about these trends among attendees.

Peter Somerville

Peter Somerville is the Co-founder of Caparra, a Minneapolis-based startup building AI-powered tools that help software teams work together and improve code quality.

Peter met his Caparra co-founder Chad Rhyner 8 years ago at a fin-tech startup, and was quickly impressed with Chad's DevOps expertise. With their shared background as Midwestern natives and U.S. Marine Corps veterans, the two have stayed in touch discussing innovation in software engineering.

Peter is the "much less technical co-founder," but has surprised himself (and sometimes even impressed Chad) with his AI-assisted contributions to the Caparra codebase. When not attempting to code, Peter enjoys "Type 2 Fun" such as trail marathons, training at a Muay Thai camp in Thailand, and hiking 2,500 miles in Spain, Portugal, and France.
