What does the future of developers look like in the AI era?

In this episode of Drag & Drop, Feroz Khan sits down with Kris Lande, Chief Marketing Officer at OutSystems, to explore how AI is reshaping software development and why community is becoming the real competitive advantage.

As organizations race to adopt AI, the conversation is shifting from building apps faster… to building intelligent systems that actually scale. And at the center of this shift? Developers, ecosystems, and the communities that support them.

Kris shares insights from her experience at Salesforce and now at OutSystems, where she’s focused on building one of the most vibrant global developer communities in enterprise AI.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why AI isn’t replacing developers, it’s expanding the role
• How developers are evolving into system orchestrators across platforms
• Why community is now the fastest way to learn and adopt AI skills
• The difference between marketing software vs building an ecosystem
• How champions, MVPs, and advocates drive trust in enterprise technology
• Why platforms must create career pathways, not just tools
• How OutSystems is positioning itself in the AI era

The challenge today isn’t access to AI.

It’s knowing how to use it in real-world environments with the right skills, governance, and support.

And increasingly, that learning isn’t happening in traditional education.

It’s happening inside communities.

AI is changing how software is built.

But inside enterprises, there’s no longer a single way to develop or deliver.

In this episode of Drag & Drop, Feroz Khan speaks with Howard Miller, CIO of the UCLA Anderson School of Management, about how AI is reshaping enterprise development, and what it actually takes to move from experimentation into real delivery within a higher education environment.

From the rise of tools like Claude to platforms like OutSystems, this conversation explores how modern enterprises are combining multiple technologies to stay agile, reduce technical debt, and modernize legacy systems.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why there’s no longer one way to build in the enterprise
• How AI is changing the way organizations approach development
• Why flexibility and a multi-tool strategy is becoming essential
• How platforms like OutSystems support modernization and reduce technical debt
• The importance of choosing the right first use case
• Why development fundamentals still matter in an AI-driven world
• The challenges of adoption inside higher education environments

Whether you’re a CIO, developer, or enterprise leader, this episode offers a real-world perspective on AI, enterprise architecture, and the future of software development.
