Future of Software Developers in the age of AI by 2040

Just a few hours ago, I delivered a talk for an Azure Community Developer conference. The talk was titled “Future of Software Developers in the Age of AI & Automation by 2040”. Predictions are always riskier, especially one for a fast-moving, exponentially growing field like Software & AI.  Yet, I ventured and explored how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Automation will impact software engineering by 2040 and how developers can stay relevant. The one-hour video in 4K is available on my YouTube channel above. I have been doing a lot of research on this subject, and I would like to hear…

Soorarai Pottru (2020)

Soorarai Pottru (சூரரைப் போற்று) starring Suriya and directed by Irudhi Suttru (2016) director Sudha Kongara was an entertaining “hero” film. While it is based on the well-written & inspiring Autobiography of Deccan Air’s founder Captain G.R.Gopinath, the film adaptation was far away from it. The film got released directly on OTT and is available in Amazon Prime Video. Besides Suriya, the casting for the other main characters by Paresh Rawal, Aparna Balamurali and Urvashi were apt for the roles. There were many enjoyable moments in the film but they could’ve been tied together better. I liked the heroine’s character who…

Miss India (2020)

Starring Keerthy Suresh, Miss India (2020) is a typical rags-to-riches film. Appearing as Manasa Samyuktha, a bright young lady from India who moves to the USA with her family, where she builds a tea retail empire in the USA fending off the animosity from the incumbent coffee chain of Jagapathi Babu. The film was ordinary, but not dull. It is available on Netflix India. For a movie claimed to be happening in the USA, I hardly saw any American locations or Americans characters or even hear American accent from anyone in the film. Maybe the pandemic forced the makers to…

Putham Pudhu Kaalai (2020)

Putham Pudhu Kaalai (புத்தம் புது காலை) is an anthology of five short-film made by renowned Tamil directors, all revolving around the pandemic lockdown situation. While all the stories were good, the first two were brilliant and a must-watch. Its streaming on Amazon Prime Video. All of them had limited casting in each story which makes us connect to the characters very well. The houses featured in the first four stories were beautiful, literally I got transported to each one of them, such was the cinematography. The first one “Ilamai Idho Idho” directed by Sudha Kongara is about an elderly love…
