Over the past decade, software engineer Gleb Lesnikov has helmed the development of a digital system that turned a local restaurant into an international franchise. This experience allowed him to remain at the forefront of the technological innovations reshaping software development and ways of.
Now, he is sharing his thoughts on his profession and what the future holds for the tech industry. I am a Dubai-based Software Architect at Dodo Brands.
What Happened
When Dodo was one of the fastest-growing pizza startups internationally, we often found ourselves in a situation where you try to rebuild the plane while flying it. We had to refactor systems, break the monolith and introduce upgrades while operating the business.

So far, you cannot fully trust code written by agents, so a human needs to review it.
Token prices will fall, models will improve, and generating code will become even easier.
