Warm-up - Scaling Engineering Culture Beyond Engineers
with Peter Wiesner - CraftAt Craft, we’re witnessing a new kind of scaling challenge — one that isn’t about infrastructure or headcount, but about culture.
As “vibe coding” is becoming more and more accessible, designers, product managers, and even user researchers started contributing directly to the codebase - tweaking features, refining flows, and shaping product behavior through pull requests.
This shift raises an intriguing question: how do you scale an engineering culture when “engineering” itself becomes everyone’s business?
While we don't have the answers just yet, in this 15-minute lightning talk, Peter Wiesner, Head of App Technology at Craft, shares real life stories on what's working, what’s breaking - and what questions are forming in our heads as we navigate this environment.--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
After the lightning talk, we’ll have 5 minutes for Q&A, followed by Scott’s main session - with plenty of time for your questions afterward.
This English-language event will take place at the Craft office, with snacks and drinks to fuel the conversations.
- Arrival: from 17:30
- Talks begin: 18:00
Come learn and connect with other tech enthusiasts. Don't miss this chance to be part of an exciting community in Budapest's tech scene. See you there!
