Petro Silenius: Why you want to be a product engineer

Companies are built on products and products are built by engineers. However, those engineers are often excluded from product data, decisions and ownership.

This talk will explain the wave of a new role: a product engineer. One that combines the engineering with product work like user research, prototyping, and priorisation. We'll cover this through practical examples and show how making things a bit differently can produce vastly different outcomes.

Juha-Matti Santala: Write it down, share it with everyone

or "Why developers should write blog posts"
Writing down what you learn and think is a powerful tool and sharing them with others can have a big impact in your life. I've been blogging about technology on and off since 2013 and more consistently since 2018.

In this talk I share what I've learned by blogging as a developer and hope to inspire you to pick up your proverbial pen and start writing.
