MARK RUSSINOVICH,
Chief Technology Officer, Microsoft Azure
In this presentation, Mark Russinovich, CTO of Microsoft Azure, will explore how AI copilots and “vibe coding” are reshaping software development. He’ll show how natural language coding can accelerate creativity and lower barriers, while also confronting the hard truths: AI-generated code isn’t automatically production-ready. This talk examines how to harness vibe coding’s speed and power while still applying the architectural discipline, testing, and security practices needed to ship software that is robust, reliable, and ready for the real world.
