Developers using AI tools report being 20% faster. New research shows they're actually 19% slower. Welcome to late 2025, where the gap between #AI hype and reality creates the most honest conversations in tech leadership. October 7th in Berlin: a small #dinner for engineering leaders to discuss what's actually working, what's wishful thinking, and how we navigate this without the LinkedIn highlight reel. No pitches. Just peers. https://lnkd.in/dpSWNP49 #EngineeringManagement #TechLeadership #Networking #Berlin #CTO #EngineeringManager

Yesterday, I took part in the Software Design Berlin's Architectural Kata #6 event. It was a great opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new people, and engage in some very stimulating discussions. The challenge was to design an online auction platform where live video streaming, real-time bidding, and secure payments all had to come together. To tackle these business requirements, our group first aligned on three key architectural characteristics to guide the design: consistency, performance, and elasticity. With those priorities in mind, we debated which parts of the system we would build ourselves and which we’d outsource, for example payment processing or video streaming. Our team ended up designing a clever system that included a human-in-the-loop, reflecting the auctioneer’s role in the process. 💡 Exercises like this highlight how valuable collaborative architecture work can be: not only for sharpening technical skills, but also for exploring different perspectives and trade-offs that shape resilient systems. Thanks Robin Pokorny for organising it and ThoughtWorks for hosting it! #SwDesignBerlin #engineering #leadership #systemdesign #meetup with Paul Keen, Oleksandr Golub, Heinrich Langos, Malte-Levin Riewe, Piyush D Jadhav, Jonathan Stoye

17 engineering leaders. One Berlin biergarten. 🎯 Last week's EM dinner exceeded every expectation. What started as a simple meetup turned into 3+ hours of the kind of deep, honest conversations you rarely get in Slack threads. There's something powerful about connecting face-to-face with people who understand the weight of technical decisions and the art of managing brilliant, opinionated engineers. The energy in that room reminded me why I love this community - we're all just trying to build better teams and better products, one conversation at a time. What's next? Already planning next round. If you're an EM, tech lead, or engineering director in Berlin and want in on the next one, drop a comment below. 👇 Shoutout to everyone who came through and made it unforgettable. This is how professional growth should feel. #EngineeringManagement #TechLeadership #Berlin #Community #SoftwareEngineering

Most engineering managers trip up when they focus on running code, not people. Code? Easy. It does what you tell it to do. People? Not so much. They bring new bugs - fear, doubt, pride, stress. And you can’t fix those with a git push. The real challenge isn’t holding the team tight. It’s building a space where folks feel safe, trust each other, and try new ideas. That’s when the real magic kicks in. That’s why we run #EM #Dinners in #Berlin. No slides. No rules. Just talk about what works, what hurts, and what keeps us sane. 💡 What was the biggest shift for you when moving from code to people? 💡 And what still feels tough? If you’re nearby, join us. You’ll laugh, nod, and maybe leave with one less “bug” in your team. 👉 https://lnkd.in/djQtf_SQ

And we return to EM Kata 12! As always, I never miss an EM Kata meetup where you practice your mistakes before you make them in your work! This time EM Kata was hosted by Clue by BioWink GmbH, a cosy place with a unique touch to it and as usual, Oleksandr Golub, Tim Yevgrashyn, Chozhan D M and team had come up with a completely different topic and a new format! Rather than focusing on the present and past, this time around we prepared for the future and how to adapt to the changes that come with it! Working with Alp Akduman, AKSHATA SHANBHAG and Dmitriy Bogolyubov was truly insightful where we looked into the perspective of focusing on the bigger picture while filtering out the unnecessary details. And it was a pleasure to meet the EM Kata regulars like me and also lovely to new people like Linda C., Greg R., Asha Murali, Violeta Abramova and Marina Rukavitsyna And I am looking forward to the next EM Kata meetup that shall resume after the summer break! I can't wait already! Until my next post!

Last week was 🔥! I spent an evening with engineering leaders talking about how #AI is changing our work 🤖. We met at Clue #Berlin Office (great pizza btw! 🍕)! The energy was high! It was great to see old friends, and everywhere I looked, there was passionate discussion. I honestly couldn't decide which chat to join first. We agreed - the #EngineeringManager role is changing. But here's where it gets interesting: 🛠️ Some say it'll stay the same, just with cooler AI #tools. 🔄 Others, including me, think EMs' roles will mix across all levels. These changes are happening now. 🙌 Thanks, Oleksandr Golub, Ivan Zinenko, Alex Turbin, 🌟 Dmytro Mindra, MBA, Michael Seibt, Chozhan D M., 🇪🇺 Jack Godau 🌍, Iryna Sribna, and others for organizing and supporting. It was a great discussion, even if it raised more questions. I’m still excited about what I learned! What do you think? Will tech leads do everything, or will EMs turn into something new? 👇
🚀 Will the EM role disappear, stay the same, or evolve as AI becomes more capable? During EM Kata 12 “𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘈𝘐 𝘪𝘴 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘔 𝘙𝘰𝘭𝘦”, each group explored a different angle - from engineers managing everything themselves or smaller teams with no EMs needed, to EMs becoming more people-focused or evolving into a hybrid product-and-tech manager. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗶𝗿 👉 Who will be accountable for delivery? 👉 As a CTO, who do I delegate tough problems to? 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 The EM role will remain — at least for now — and inevitably evolve. One can compare it to car manufacturing: robots do most of the work, but people still play a key part. 💬 What do you think? Will the EM role disappear in 3–5 years or remain unchanged? Share your thoughts in the comments 👇 🎓 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗝𝘂𝗿𝘆 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹 Greg R., Alex Ischenko, Tom Hibbert, and 🇪🇺 Jack Godau 🌍 — your feedback and vision were sharp and helpful. 🦸♀️🦸♂️ 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 & 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀 You brought energy and helped the groups succeed. Thank you! Iryna Sribna, Michael Seibt, Scott Gibson, Tim Yevgrashyn, 🌟 Dmytro Mindra, MBA, Chozhan D M, and others. 🤝🏢🍕 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘀 & 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲 Big thanks to Maxim Kravets & Greg R. for hosting us and for the pizza at Clue! 💼 And to our back-office hero Ivan Zinenko — your help was simply invaluable! 🌟 Thanks to everyone who joined, supported, and shaped this EM Kata 12! #EMKata #Meetup by #SEML about #TechLeadership and #AI
