2025 Keynote on Crafting the Code You Don’t Write: Sculpting Software in an AI World: Daisy Hollman, prerelease

The keynotes at CppCon 2025 in Aurora, Colorado, have been nothing short of spectacular, and today we’re excited to highlight the keynote from distinguished software engineer and C++ standards committee member, Daisy Hollman!

Daisy’s talk, titled Crafting the Code You Don’t Write: Sculpting Software in an AI World, explores the rapidly changing landscape of developer productivity with the rise of AI. She shared her experiences from Anthropic and offered insights on how we, as software engineers, can leverage these tools and evolve our roles. You can find more details about her keynote on the original announcement page.
