Soft Skills in the age of AI
Soft Skills aren't a very popular subject in the IT universe, and with the rise of AI they are being neglected even more.
They are often overlooked during computer science education - thus being an important lesson that many of us never had.
But the focus on mastering tools without developing the skills to use those tools effectively within a team often leads to missed opportunities for career growth, project failures, and avoidable mistakes.
This talk highlights why Soft Skills are needed for IT-professionals, especially now, when AI gets more and more powerful.
It explores what limitations does the AI have in the context of Soft Skills, and offers plenty of practical tips for Soft Skills to improve your day-to-day teamwork.
The talk goes beyond generic suggestions - in the relaxed and entertaining manner Kirill will present interesting perspectives based not only on his own experience, but also on many books, articles, conference talks and observations that he had over two decades of dealing with software and people.
Everybody, from junior to senior developer, devops, QA, PO, manager will find some useful and possibly even eye-opening ideas in this talk.
