Disruption is the job

Room 10Wed 13 May • 09:45–10:45Architecture & LeadershipIntroductory and overview
15 years ago my friend and I founded Zure. This talk is about my view into our field as a developer-turned-CEO of an independent company in 5 countries. Our industry is facing a disruption in the form of AI. Our industry has faced other disruptions earlier, such as Internet, Mobile, Cloud, and others. Are disruptions a threat, or an opportunity? The aim of this talk is to lessen your anxiety and increase your excitement, and if you happen to have FOMO or imposter syndrome, hopefully you'll have less of them after this talk. This talk is about career development and how I've handled with change, and not technical.
