From Coder to Manager in the Age of AI

AI is rapidly changing how we build software. Tasks that once took hours are now automated, and the role of developers is starting to shift.

So what does this mean for WordPress developers who want to grow in their careers?

In this meetup, we’ll talk about how the developer role is evolving and what the path from coder to engineering leader can look like in the age of AI.

We’ll discuss:
• How AI tools are changing day-to-day development
• The shift from just writing code to making technical decisions
• Skills that are becoming more valuable in an AI-assisted world
• How to prepare for roles like tech lead or engineering manager
• The honest question: Is management actually the right path for you?

Expect practical insights, real experiences, and open discussion with other developers navigating the same changes.
