My takeaways from IBM TechXchange 2025 (Orlando)

By Anand Sagar posted 16 hours ago

  

In TechXchange 2025, I got chance to meet people who are shaping the world future—Pro-coder, Industry leader, innovator and mentor. Back from the conference with a clear roadmap for bringing AI into my day-to-day work.

Three takeaways:

  • Skills. Hands-on labs and community tracks tied backend realities to UI constraints—great context for designing resilient, API-aware front ends.

  • AI in the dev workflow. Tried enterprise coding assistants and agentic patterns that sped up refactors, upgrades, and code reviews—the exact friction that slows front-end teams.

  • From demo to prod. LLM features need observability and orchestration: track latency budgets, safety guardrails, and UX impact so AI-driven flows feel fast, safe, and human.


Two bigger conclusions from conversations with leadership:

  1. We’re in a rare window of rapid change—maybe ~3 years—as AI diffuses across every sector. After that, tools and processes will mature and the pace will normalize. Now is the time to experiment and institutionalize what works.

  2. Even if you think we’re in a “bubble,” it’s a productive one. The infrastructure, patterns, and skills we’re building will outlast the hype and reshape how we manage finance and run the business.


What I’ll do next: pilot a coding assistant for refactors, set latency SLOs for LLM endpoints, add evals & guardrail checks to CI, and instrument UX to measure real user impact.
