Building the Future Developer: Trends in Open Source, Education, AI and Industry - Phoebe Quincy, GitHub & Kim Schlesinger, Contentful
Tuesday June 24, 2025 4:20pm - 5:00pm MDT
Bluebird Ballroom 3C
Over the past decade, open source and developer education have evolved dramatically. This talk explores key trends shaping the landscape, from shifts in bootcamp models and messaging to the role of open source in learning pathways. We'll examine what has persisted, what has transformed, and what these changes mean for educators, industry leaders, and learners. Whether you're building developer education programs, contributing to open source learning initiatives, or navigating the intersection of both, this session will provide valuable insights into the forces driving the future of developer education.

Key Themes:
- The evolution of bootcamps and CS degrees and the shifting narratives around developer training
- The enduring role of open source as both a learning tool and a career accelerant
- How industry expectations for self-taught and formally trained developers have changed
- The impact of AI and automation on developer education and skills acquisition
