Programmer?! Builder?! 10xer?!

Join us for the next epic event of the podcast "Not Technical and Not by Chance", this time hosted at the Connecteam offices! 🎊Are you a programmer? A builder? A 10xer? — who are you really? Everyone talks about the "new programmer", but the truth is, we don't even know what to call ourselves anymore.Is every programmer a builder? Is every builder a programmer? What does it really mean to be a "builder" as opposed to a "programmer"?Should a modern engineer specialize in one area, or broadly — in products, marketing, everywhere? And in a world where AI handles execution, do old labels still make sense?In this meeting, we not only define the new programmer - we challenge the very categories.Our first session features Neta Dror - a solo founder with over 15 years of experience in product, marketing, and engineering, leading 3 bootstrapped SaaS applications and directing the Builderiot community, a Hebrew-speaking community of Israeli women in tech as solo founders. We will discuss how should a programmer specialize today? Where does depth still matter, and where does breadth become a differentiating factor? The specialist vs generalist tension reveals itself here, in the art itself. Secondly, how far should a programmer venture into these areas without losing their technical edge? And how does the new "builder" mindset put the traditional programmer face to face with the need to adapt?Next, a rare internal insight into the transformation of Connecteam — a story in two acts:🐺 Asaf Niv, Gen AI leader at Connecteam, leads and creates AI products that change the way 1.8 million people manage their work day-to-day. He is a builder who is not a traditional programmer — he will share how he carved out a place for himself in R&D, how he obtained a mandate to deliver agent-based products, and what organizational changes he is leading from within.🎯 Eliran Goldsteine, VP of R&D at Connecteam (ex-Melio), sketches a new chessboard. Programmer or builder — when do you hire one and when the other? Why do you even need both? Will these roles disappear or merge? He manages people who manage people who manage agents, and will share what the organizational structure of the future really looks like — and how he thinks about building teams when old job descriptions no longer fit.This meeting is for every programmer who has ever wondered to themselves "Who am I, really?" — and for every engineering leader trying to understand whom to hire when old labels no longer apply.Expect honest questions, real stories, and a room full of people asking the same question as you.🎉 We are proud to partner with EventHandler and will reward the winner of our networking challenge with a special gift - a ticket to the AI Dev TLV conference.Schedule:18:00 — 🍕 Pizza, Beer, and Networking18:30 — Welcome and introduction to the podcast18:45 — Neta Dror: Granularity of the New Programmer19:45 — Break and Networking Challenge 🏆20:00 — Connecteam Case Study: Asaf Niv (Building Your Path) x Eliran Goldsteine (New Chessboard)21:00 — Raffle and challenge winner21:15 — Event conclusion
