***Leading from the IDE: How .NET Devs Can Rehearse Leadership with AI***

You’ve been building with .NET long enough to know what good code looks like. But leadership isn’t just about writing code—it’s about helping others write it well, too.

In this session, you’ll learn how to use AI to simulate team leadership: think pairing with a junior, refining specs, or documenting your thought process. Whether you lead a team or want to grow into the role, AI gives you a low-stakes way to practice the habits that make great leads.

**P.S. We're looking for speakers for 2025!**

Do you have insights, projects, or expertise you'd like to share with the NHDNUG community? Whether you're an experienced speaker or presenting for the first time, we'd love to feature you in one of our upcoming meetups!

If you're interested in speaking at one of our 2025 meetups (held the 3rd Thursday of each month), email us at hi@petabridge.com to discuss your topic ideas, or complete this form: https://forms.gle/aVzeVpvVhAkdfWLy7
