The author looks forward to Prof. Elena Glassman's keynote "In the Age of AI Coding Agents, Keeping the Engineer in Software Engineering" at SPLASH/ISSTA 2026 (Oct 4-9, Oakland, CA). He agrees humans still have a valuable role in the AI loop of code synthesis and verification: AIs can't be judge and jury, and human inductive judgment remains essential. The talk addresses the engineer's role as coding agents proliferate.
