#17 Lisbon GenAI Community x #4 LeadDev Lisbon x LeadCraft - Who builds the builders?

LeadDev Lisbon is back for round 4, and this time there are three communities in the room: LeadDev Lisbon, LeadCraft and the Lisbon GenAI Community.

The format changes too. Instead of talks, the evening is two round tables, each with three engineering leaders and time for questions from the room. Both look at the same shift from different sides: AI is writing more of the code, so what happens to the people learning the craft, and to the systems doing the writing?

🎙️ Round table 01: How to coach junior engineers in the age of AI Catarina Cardão, AI Manager and Trainer @ ISLA Gaia, Lusófona University Luís Oliveira, Staff Engineer @ xgeeks Leandro César Silva, Director of Software Engineering @ Wellhub

The tasks juniors used to learn on were the first to be automated. Where do they build judgement now, what does a good first year look like, and what do senior engineers and managers need to change in the way they coach?

🎙️ Round table 02: How to build a software factory Niko Roberts, Director of Engineering @ Airtasker Telmo Felgueira, ML Engineering Manager @ Loka Tiago Pombeiro, Software Development Manager @ Amazon

When agents write more of the code, the engineering work moves back a layer: specs, harnesses and guardrails. What are teams actually building around their agents, how do they check what comes out, and what is left of the engineer's job once designing that system becomes the job?

🍕 Food, drinks and networking to follow. 📍 grow.inc, Av. Almirante Reis 65, Lisbon 🕕 November 26th, 18:30

Co-organised by LeadDev Lisbon, LeadCraft and the Lisbon GenAI Community. A big thank you to our sponsors Remote Crew, synvert xgeeks and grow.inc, who is also hosting us. 🙏
