How the night went

Pedro Tinoco opened the night with Managing a Team with AI. Then Sónia Gomes joined him for the discussion, and the questions came from the wall.

Two of the questions people put up: "How should developers grow and stay relevant in this AI era?" and "Moving faster with AI without unlearning everything". The ones we didn't get to are input for the next sessions.

Somewhere along the way, he found a different kind of problem that excited him even more: how to build and grow teams of highly motivated people. That discovery reshaped his path and today he combines his technical foundation with a genuine passion for leadership, helping engineers and teams reach their full potential.
