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 which can be applied right away to improve your day-to-day work. 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.

**Speaker**:
Kirill Boiarkin is a Senior Software Developer and Agile Coach at Steinberg. He started learning programming back in school, holds a Master's degree in Computer Science and has 17 years of professional experience across 6 different companies, having worked on outsource and in-house projects, startups and legacy systems, as well as backend, frontend, desktop, and mobile applications. He has seen how teams are built and evolve, how projects succeed or fail, and how team members and management make both good and bad decisions - with all the consequences that follow. Along the way, he took many notes on what worked and what didn't - and now it's time to share them.
