AI Won't Take Your Job: How to Become Irreplaceable in the AI Era

Monday April 27, 2026 11:15am - 12:15pm CDT

Evaluation Survey

The fear is real. AI can now write code, generate documentation, and handle tasks that once required skilled developers. So what happens to your career? Here's the truth: AI won't replace developers who know how to leverage it - it will only make them more valuable. In this session, we'll show you exactly how AI can multiply your value rather than diminish it. You'll see live demonstrations of developers using AI to tackle work they've never done before, from writing RPG code without RPG experience to generating complete documentation in minutes to automatically generating regression test code. We'll share real stories from our team about the transition from skepticism to enthusiastic adoption, including the specific moment when everything clicked. You'll learn practical strategies for integrating AI into your workflow, understanding what AI does well versus where human expertise remains critical, and positioning yourself as the developer who bridges traditional systems with AI-powered innovation. Whether you're worried about job security or ready to embrace the future, you'll leave with concrete steps to make yourself more valuable than ever.

Learning Objectives:
Attendees will understand how AI tools enhance rather than replace developer value. They will see ways that AI can eliminate many of the boring and painful tasks (eg. documentation and writing test cases) while freeing them for more creative work. They'll learn specific techniques for leveraging AI while enhancing code quality, see real examples of productivity improvements, and develop strategies for becoming AI-proficient developers who are more valuable to their organizations.

SQL Views and UDTFs – Powerful Features for masking SQL Complexity

Tuesday April 28, 2026 3:15pm - 4:15pm CDT

Evaluation Survey

SQL has become very powerful. It includes for example recursions, multi-dimensional grouping, OLAP specifications, IFS and Webservice access ... But not everybody will be able to code those complex queries ... and this is not necessary as long as the average programmer or analyst can easily use the queries. With SQL Views complexity can be hidden. Since a SQL View can be used in a SELECT statement like any table even beginners can write reports based on complex SELECT statements. Sometimes information has to be set in the stored SELECT statement. With SQL global variables, values can be set on a job/connection level ... and SQL global variables can be specified within SQL views. How ever, sometimes more than one step is needed to retrieve the desired data. In this situation User Defined Functions (UDFs) or User Defined Table Functions come into play.

Learning Objectives:

In this session you will learn how to generate SQL Views. A lot of examples will demonstrate how even complex queries can be hidden. You will also learn how to call and write User Defined Table Functions
