Real Talk: Hiring, Firing, and Managing Technical Talent in the Age of AI

​The way technical teams get built, led, and reshaped is changing faster than most playbooks can keep up with. Engineers are working differently. Management layers are being rethought. The people getting cut one month are landing better roles the next. And the leaders making these calls are mostly figuring it out in real time.

​Join Amanda Richardson (CEO, CoderPad) and Tom Griffiths (Co-founder, Hone) for an unvarnished conversation about what's actually happening inside engineering and product orgs right now.

​On the table:

• ​What good technical hiring looks like when the old signals don't hold

• ​How the shape of leadership is shifting — and who's thriving in it

• ​Where engineering craft is heading, and what it means for teams

• ​The honest version of what's working (and what isn't)

​A small, off-the-record conversation for director+ technical leaders. Bring your sharpest questions — audience conversation is half the night.
