Built by Humans – Good engineers don’t always make good managers | Zhenya Rozinskiy, Nicholas Ronnei
Good engineers don’t always make good managers. And in 2025, that gap is only getting wider.
In this episode, Mirigos CEO Zhenya Rozinskiy sits down with Nicholas Ronnei, engineering manager at Snappt, to talk about what leadership really looks like in modern software teams when AI writes the code and managers aren’t the smartest person in the room anymore.
They get into:
• Why the best managers don’t try to out-code their team
• How remote teams build trust without an office
• How AI is quietly wiping out junior-level hiring
• Why entry-level tech jobs are disappearing and what comes next
• The hidden risks of using AI in hiring and fraud detection
• Why the best managers don’t try to out-code their team
• How remote teams build trust without an office
• How AI is quietly wiping out junior-level hiring
• Why entry-level tech jobs are disappearing and what comes next
• The hidden risks of using AI in hiring and fraud detection
This isn’t a theory session. It’s two managers comparing notes on what’s changing in software teams, hiring, and leadership right now.
