Rethinking Software Engineering Leadership for the AI Era
Code is becoming cheap. With AI assistants accelerating development, the bottleneck is shifting fast - from “can we build it?” to “should we build it, and how well?”
In this masterclass, Jeroen Minnaert, VP Software Architecture at Showpad, shares a sharp perspective on why engineering leadership and craft matter more than ever. When anyone can generate code, the real differentiators become architecture, taste, quality, and the ability to lead teams toward building the right things right.
Jeroen also designed the unique Engineering Leadership Program of Wintercircus Academy. So expect real-world experience, not AI hype, with practical examples and a strong focus on fundamentals as a long-term competitive advantage.
