Low-Code, Fusion Teams, And The Rise Of The 'Orchestrator' Developer
theCUBE research, Tuesday, December 30th, 2025
In our latest research, 76% of tech leaders believe AI will make low-code tools more efficient, and that single statistic captures a bigger shift underway: AI isn't just accelerating software delivery, it's reshaping what it means to be a 'software engineer.'
In this episode, I spoke with Ray Kok, CEO of Mendix, about how agentic AI is colliding with low-code, why traditional programming skills are becoming less central, and how enterprises can scale development without turning low-code into shadow IT. We also unpacked the rise of fusion teams, the increasing importance of non-functional requirements (NFRs) as a differentiator, and why the developers who thrive next will look a lot more like today's software architects.
