From AI agents reshaping how software is built to growing questions around trust, knowledge sharing and organizational readiness, the conversations at the Future of Software Development Retreat were candid, challenging and grounded in real practice. Across two days, participants explored the shift from writing code to expressing intent, the rise of supervisory engineering and what human expertise looks like in an AI-native world. 🌎
Is the era of “Time and Materials” over? In a feature with AIM Media House, our Chief Data and AI Officer, Shayan Mohanty, shares why the future of software delivery is less about AI tools and more about building a strong Execution Moat. As enterprises move from pilots to production, the shift is from experimentation to standardization. The article highlights how we approach this through AI/works™, embedding AI deep into the engineering stack with techniques like abstract syntax trees and graph-based representations, prioritizing execution over hype.

AI potential is not the bottleneck. Systems are. Most organisations hit friction when AI meets reality. That’s why progress depends on rebuilding core systems, rewiring data and processes for agents, and reimagining how value gets into production. Thoughtworks builds for that reality. We build AI that works. Know more: https://www.thoughtworks.com/
