The future belongs to people who can just do things

Software development has enjoyed a remarkably consistent foundation for over 40 years—but that era is ending. Just as we once leapt from assembly to high-level languages, we’re now entering a new phase: programming with large language models. This shift isn’t incremental; it’s a new layer of abstraction.

In this talk, Geoff Huntleys explore why now is the moment to reassess your carefully crafted roadmaps, identify which assumptions no longer hold, and prepare yourself for a different kind of work. We’ll talk about accelerating your “oh-fuck” moment—the realization that things are changing faster than expected—and how to navigate the emotional and professional turbulence that follows.

Geoffrey Huntley

🙌 I'm Geoff. Some folks know me as the person who “stole” all of the NFTs and for my involvement with a letter to the United States Congress that urged lawmakers to legislate the crypto industry responsibly.

Others may know me through my work in open-source and working with developer tooling companies to bring their products to market. Computers are one of my hobbies, and I've been continually self-learning in this sector since the early '80s. When I'm not authoring code, you will find me DJing or passing down knowledge to others.
