The AI Skills Software Engineers Need to Learn Now

The AI Skills Software Engineers Need to Learn Now

Software engineers often think adding AI is just a simple API call, but moving from a Proof of Concept to a stable production system requires a completely different mindset.

Maria Vechtomova breaks down the harsh reality of MLOps, why rigorous evaluation is non-negotiable, and why autonomous agents are riskier than you think.


In this episode, we cover:

  • The essential MLOps principles every software engineer must learn
  • How to bridge the gap between a demo and a production-grade solution
  • Strategies for evaluating agents and detecting model drift
  • The security risks of customer service agents and prompt injection
  • Practical tips for using AI tools to boost your own productivity
