AI and The Future of Engineering

About the Event

AI is not just changing code. It’s changing how engineering teams think, build, and deliver.

This Gild Mixer brings together Austin’s top CTOs and engineering leaders for a grounded conversation about what’s actually happening inside modern teams — the tools people love, the ones that flop, and how AI is quietly reshaping the craft of engineering itself.

Recent findings reveal what’s working and what’s not:

• McKinsey (2024): Teams using AI in development cut coding time in half when adoption is structured and intentional.
  
  
• Emergent Mind (2025): AI-assisted teams ship 60% more code to production and reduce review time by 30%.
  
  
• Zinnov + Ness (2024): Generative AI boosts productivity by 38%, with top engineers seeing nearly 50% gains.
  
  
• Techopedia (2025): Results vary widely — success depends on integration, culture, and clarity of use.
  
  

We’ll discuss:

• How engineering leaders are restructuring workflows around AI
  
  
• Where AI accelerates velocity — and where it still breaks things
  
  
• Which tools are actually delivering ROI
  
  

You’ll leave with:

• Real insights from peers building with AI in production
  
  
• Ideas to improve quality and speed without sacrificing trust
  
  
• New relationships with Austin’s leading engineering minds
  
  

This is not a theory session. It’s a real-world exchange on how AI is transforming engineering from the inside out.
