As AI-powered copilots and agent tools reshape productivity, one question looms large: Will software engineers be replaced—or just evolve?


In this thought-provoking episode of The Influencer Series, Roger Luo, Founding Partner of Embedding VC and former AI leader at Yahoo, Snap, and Niantic, joins host Ravi Belani to explore:


  • Why today’s LLMs outperform average coders—but still can’t replace human creativity

  • What tools like GitHub Copilot and Cursors really mean for engineering productivity

  • The untold challenges in orchestration, DevOps, and compliance

  • How the line between “human” and “agent” might soon blur

  • Why AGI won’t come from scaling LLMs alone—and what that means for the future


Whether you’re a founder, engineer, or AI strategist, this conversation offers a realistic and expansive look at the next era of work.
