Composable Software and AI in Development

Laly Bar-Ilan has been working in AI and natural language processing for over two decades—long before it was trendy. She’s now the Chief Scientist at Bit, where she’s helping build composable, AI-first developer tools that might just replace most of the coding we do today.

In this episode, we talk about what staying ahead actually looks like for developers in an AI-driven world. Laly shares what skills are becoming obsolete, what new ones are emerging (RAG, agents, prompt engineering), and why “vibe coding” alone won’t cut it.

If you’re wondering how to future-proof your dev career—or whether learning to code still matters—this conversation will give you both clarity and direction.
