Will AI Replace Developers? | Elyse Gilbert on AI, OutSystems & Low-Code

Will AI replace developers… or completely change what developers focus on? In this episode of Drag & Drop, Feroz Khan is joined by Elyse Gilbert to discuss her journey from music performance major to OutSystems developer, the evolution of low-code development, and how AI is rapidly reshaping the future of software delivery. As AI becomes more embedded into modern development platforms, the role of the developer is starting to shift away from repetitive manual work and toward architecture, user experience, business thinking, and human-centered design. Elyse shares her experience transitioning into tech without a traditional engineering background, learning OutSystems under pressure, and why mindset and adaptability are becoming more important than ever in the AI era. What you’ll learn in this episode: • How Elyse transitioned from music performance into software development • The challenges of learning OutSystems and low-code development • Why mindset plays a major role in succeeding in tech • How AI is changing the day-to-day role of developers • Why development is shifting from manual work to higher-level thinking • The growing importance of user experience and human behavior in software • How AI is improving requirements gathering and development workflows • Why developers who ignore AI risk falling behind • The importance of community, continuous learning, and adaptability The developer role isn’t disappearing.
