The industry often tells us there are only two paths: stay a "pure" coder forever or hang up the keyboard to become a full-time manager. But for those of us who started in the days of Eclipse and AsyncTask, we know that the most effective leaders are those who keep their technical edge. This Unconference Roundtable is designed for the "Hybrid Engineers"—Tech Leads, Architects, and Senior Devs who refuse to choose between people and pixels. In this high-energy, informal session, we will crowdsource intelligence on: The "Hands-On" Balance: Staying technically relevant without micromanaging. Architecture & AI: Moving from "how do I build this?" to "how do I prompt the best system design?" The Senior Paradox: Knowing when to solve a bug yourself versus letting the team grow through the struggle. Unlearning 2012: Letting go of the "manual labor" mindset to embrace modern declarative and AI-driven patterns. No slides required—just bring your challenges, solutions, and a willingness to share.
