You&#8217;ve learned the stack, you can solve the problems, and yet something has stalled: the same meetings, the same rituals, the same way of working with your team that felt efficient three years ago and now is just noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s not always a technical problem. Often it&#8217;s a problem of perspective: what&#8217;s missing is the spark that lets you see your work, your team, or yourself from a different angle. At <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/conferences.codemotion.com\/milan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Codemotion Milan<\/a> 2026<\/strong>, we&#8217;ve put together a set of talks built exactly for that: not another certification to add to your CV, but the kind of spark that can unlock a different way of working, communicating, or thinking about your own growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-learn-to-say-what-you-think-outside-of-prs-too\">1. Learn to say what you think (outside of PRs too)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Abiodun Olowode<\/strong> \u2014 <em>We Review Code. Why Won&#8217;t We Review Each Other?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re all ruthless when commenting on a pull request. Then we get to standup and stay quiet while a bad decision takes shape in front of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The problem<\/strong>: we&#8217;re direct in code, silent in the rooms where things actually get decided.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What you&#8217;ll walk away with<\/strong>: a framework for bringing the same rigor of code review into real-time, difficult conversations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Why you shouldn&#8217;t skip it<\/strong>: if your next career jump depends on &#8220;being heard&#8221; more than on writing better code, this is the talk you&#8217;re missing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-rethink-how-your-team-actually-works\">2. Rethink how your team actually works<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Matteo Collina<\/strong> \u2014 <em>Kill the Standup: How One Engineer Ships What Five Cannot<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fred Brooks was right back in &#8217;75: more people mean more communication channels, not more speed. AI has changed the equation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The problem<\/strong>: most of the methods we use to coordinate teams are coping mechanisms, not solutions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What you&#8217;ll walk away with<\/strong>: a real case, three months long, of how one autonomous engineer with AI shipped more than an entire team.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Why you shouldn&#8217;t skip it<\/strong>: this isn&#8217;t a talk against people, it&#8217;s an invitation to redesign what &#8220;being productive&#8221; means in your role, before someone else does it for you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-steal-ideas-from-where-you-d-least-expect-them\">3. Steal ideas from where you&#8217;d least expect them<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Carolina Pinto<\/strong> \u2014 <em>What Candy Crush Can Teach AI Products About Human Behavior<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Innovation often doesn&#8217;t come from staring straight ahead, but from looking sideways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The problem<\/strong>: AI products keep getting more capable, but many still fail to be usable, engaging, or genuinely human-feeling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What you&#8217;ll walk away with<\/strong>: game design patterns (onboarding, trust, motivation, feedback loops) you can apply to whatever you&#8217;re building.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Why you shouldn&#8217;t skip it<\/strong>: if you feel stuck inside your own domain, seeing how another field solves the same problems is often the fastest unlock there is.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-there-s-no-single-fix\">4. There&#8217;s no single fix<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vladi Stevanovic<\/strong> \u2014 <em>The Swiss Cheese Fix: Why PR Quality Needs Layers<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PRs sitting unreviewed for days, 500-line diffs skimmed in a hurry, rubber-stamp approvals: the hidden cost every team accepts in exchange for moving fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The problem<\/strong>: AI coding agents have flooded review queues with volumes no process was built to handle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What you&#8217;ll walk away with<\/strong>: a layered model, not a single silver-bullet rule, for putting quality back into the review process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Why you shouldn&#8217;t skip it<\/strong>: if you&#8217;re the one who ends up being the last line of defense on everything, this talk gives you the language to change the process, not just complain about it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-scale-yourself-by-scaling-everyone-else\">5. Scale yourself by scaling everyone else<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alfonso Graziano<\/strong> \u2014 <em>Scaling AI Adoption: The Real Challenges of Transforming 300 Engineers<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone says they want to be &#8220;AI-native.&#8221; Very few actually pull it off, and even fewer do it across a team of 300.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The problem<\/strong>: AI adoption almost always stalls at individual experimentation and never becomes a team-wide practice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What you&#8217;ll walk away with<\/strong>: how large-scale upskilling actually gets structured, from AI-Native Engineering to Spec-Driven Development.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Why you shouldn&#8217;t skip it<\/strong>: useful whether you&#8217;re leading a team or just want to know what to expect from your next level up, before you get there.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-if-the-problem-is-that-you-can-t-speak-in-public-fix-it\">6. If the problem is that you can&#8217;t speak in public, fix it<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>David McCarter<\/strong> \u2014 <em>Unleash Your Inner Rockstar: The 5 Steps to Dynamic Public Speaking!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes the career unlock is simpler, and more uncomfortable, than we think: being able to speak up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The problem<\/strong>: you&#8217;re nervous, unsure, or you&#8217;ve just never seen yourself as &#8220;someone who speaks in public.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What you&#8217;ll walk away with<\/strong>: five concrete steps, distilled from over 30 years of public speaking experience, to go from spectator to someone who can command the room.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Why you shouldn&#8217;t skip it<\/strong>: whether it&#8217;s a conference talk or a meeting with leadership, this is probably the most underrated, and most transferable, skill at the entire event.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-get-provoked-literally\">7. Get provoked, literally<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Daniel Zotti &amp; Stefano Bruno<\/strong> \u2014 <em>Provocazioni Artificiali<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is SaaS dead? Will consulting firms collapse within 18 months? Is a Senior Dev just a Junior who&#8217;s memorized the API docs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The problem<\/strong>: the tech job market is changing so fast that the certainties of two years ago now sound naive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What you&#8217;ll walk away with<\/strong>: no comfortable answers, just the uncomfortable questions you&#8217;re probably avoiding.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Why you shouldn&#8217;t skip it<\/strong>: interactive talk, open mic for the audience.
