Scaling Agentic Systems More Engineers Needed!

Will AI replace engineers? Hugo Charré from Cursor argues the opposite.
In this clip from the upcoming summit, Hugo Charré (Cursor) explains why the number of engineers is going to grow as we scale agentic systems — and why AI raises the bar for who's on the team.

As agents take on more, the demand rises for engineers with strong judgment, good taste, and the ability to dive deep across unfamiliar domains. It's the emergence of the "builder mindset" — a shift from focusing on code outcomes to product outcomes. More agents means more shipping power, more products, and ultimately more opportunities for engineers, not fewer.
