Daniel Vávra: From First Ideas to Global Success

From the first idea to a global gaming hit. From lines of code to entire apps written by AI. Technology is changing the rules of the game. But what makes a project successful, and what will developers’ work look like in the future?

At our next ITalk, Daniel Vávra, co-founder of Warhorse Studios, will take us behind the scenes of two iconic games, Mafia and Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

Tomáš Gröpl will then tackle some of the biggest questions facing the tech industry today. Can AI really speed up software development? What does its rise mean for junior and experienced developers alike? And which skills will still matter once the dust settles?

Two perspectives on the tech world, its successes, its challenges, and where it’s headed.

Tomáš Gröpl: When the Dust Settles, What’s Left of Programming?

An AI agent can build an app over a weekend. But who’s willing to put their name on it? Tomáš Gröpl looks at the numbers that tend to get left out of the AI debate, from the sharp drop in junior roles to studies in which developers using AI worked more slowly even though they felt faster. He uses those findings to explore what will be left of programming once the dust settles.

For students weighing their options and senior developers who can already feel their work changing.
