About Gather.dev
Why we exist
Engineering leadership is being tramsformed at an accelerating pace. AI is reshaping the SDLC, teams are leaner, and old playbooks don't work anymore. Gather.dev exists to give CTOs and other senior engineering leaders a trusted space to share what's working, learning faster together.
What we're building
Gather.dev is an invite-only brain trust where members share experiments, compare notes, and surface the practices no playbook covers. Through online meetups, in-person gatherings, and a living knowledge base, we're building the definitive high-signal, high-trust community for engineering leaders.
About the founder
Hi, I'm Peter Bell. I host the CTO Hour for O'Reilly and facilitate the executive summit at KubeCon. I ran engineering at General Assembly, taught data science at Columbia Business School and I'm writing an O'Reilly book on "Leading AI-Driven Software Development" for CTOs covering the soft side of adopting AI within the SDLC.
I have been building CTO Communities for over 15 years. There are lots of great engineering communities and events, but I've always wanted to create an invite-only, curated space where the most thoughtful and capable engineering leaders could engage frankly with their closest peers.
Gather.dev is the community I wish had existed. Now I'm building it with the people I respect most — CTOs and senior engineering leaders like you.
