What should tech leaders do about the uncertainty brought about by the changes happening in 2023?

We were talking about market instability, the effects of the recession, as well as the rise of AI tools.

How will these factors affect the way software is developed? How will they influence developers themselves?

To answer these questions and more, we invited three extraordinary guests to the latest edition of Tech Leaders Hub.

You may have met some of them before on the show!

Our guests were:

👉 Alvaro Moya, CTO & Founder at LIDR.co
👉 Andrew Beacock, CTO at Guidr
👉 Itai Rosenblatt, Engineering Manager at Google
