It can enhance software quality and security, but it&amp;rsquo;s crucial to remember that a human must always be involved in the process and make the final quality checks.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;/li&gt;&#10;&lt;li&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Topics such as &lt;em&gt;AI governance&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;AI security&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;data loss prevention (DLP)&lt;/em&gt; will be critical in creating productive environments for all organizations, including small and mid-sized companies.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;/li&gt;&#10;&lt;li&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Maintaining high data quality is essential for effective data processing. Data lakes comprise multiple data sources. To transform each data source into &lt;em&gt;data meshes&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;data products&lt;/em&gt; is increasingly important. This encompasses areas such as &lt;em&gt;event streaming&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;data engineering&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;/li&gt;&#10;&lt;/ol&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;In my experience, every organization or team navigates a learning curve when they begin to adopt new approaches and tools in software development. I&amp;rsquo;ve noticed that while low-code solutions can lead to impressive early progress, it&amp;rsquo;s crucial to be aware that a prototype or proof of concept does not meet the criteria for a functional system according to European and German regulations. &lt;strong&gt;T-shaped&lt;/strong&gt; experts will be essential in navigating this AI landscape effectively.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Developer Summit 2025: Insights from Berlin</title><link>https://www.eifel42.dev/post/entwickler-summit/</link><pubDate>Sat, 20 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0200</pubDate><guid>https://www.eifel42.dev/post/entwickler-summit/</guid><description>Insights from Developer Summit 2025 in Berlin: DDD, legacy modernization, responsible architecture and AI.</description></item></channel></rss>
