As co-founder and CPO of WeAreDevelopers, he shapes product strategy for Europe's largest developer community. He also created Labs, an experiment turning a decade of conference talks into a minute-by-minute search tool. On stage, Thomas unpacks how engineering cultures actually function. He explores the return to web simplicity in his [chat with David Heinemeier Hansson](/videos/875-coffee-with-developers-david-heinemeier-hansson) and discusses systems thinking alongside [Amazon's Werner Vogels](/videos/100265-fireside-chat-in-conversation-with-werner-vogels-cto-of-amazon-com). When he is not living in the terminal, Thomas is training for Badlands, an 820-kilometer self-supported race across the Andalusian desert. ## Past Sessions ### World Congress 2026 Europe 路 July 8, 2026 Berlin, Germany - [Fireside Chat - In conversation with Werner Vogels, CTO of Amazon.com](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100265-fireside-chat-in-conversation-with-werner-vogels-cto-of-amazon-com) 路 30 min 路 馃帴 Watch recording ### World Congress 2024 路 July 17, 2024 Berlin, Germany - [Fireside Chat with David Heinemeier Hansson](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/980-fireside-chat-with-david-heinemeier-hansson) 路 30 min 路 馃帴 Watch recording - [Fireside Chat with Kris Rasmussen, CTO at Figma](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/982-fireside-chat-with-kris-rasmussen-cto-at-figma) 路 30 min 路 馃帴 Watch recording ## Videos - [Fireside Chat - In conversation with Werner Vogels, CTO of Amazon.com](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100265-fireside-chat-in-conversation-with-werner-vogels-cto-of-amazon-com) 路 Werner Vogels, Thomas Pamminger - [Fireside Chat with Kris Rasmussen, CTO at Figma](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/982-fireside-chat-with-kris-rasmussen-cto-at-figma) 路 Kris Rasmussen, Thomas Pamminger - [Fireside Chat with David Heinemeier Hansson](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/980-fireside-chat-with-david-heinemeier-hansson) 路 David Heinemeier Hansson, Thomas Pamminger - [Throwing off the burdens of scale in engineering](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/608-throwing-off-the-burdens-of-scale-in-engineering) 路 David Singleton, Thomas Pamminger ## Coffee With Developers - [Coffee with Developers: David Heinemeier Hansson](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/875-coffee-with-developers-david-heinemeier-hansson) 路 David Heinemeier Hansson, Thomas Pamminger - [Navigating Growth, Scaling Challenges, and Office Expansions with David Singleton, CTO at Stripe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100362-navigating-growth-scaling-challenges-and-office-expansions-with-david-singleton-cto-at-stripe) 路 David Singleton, Thomas Pamminger - [Hacking iOS and Developing for Airbnb with Nicolas Haunold, Software Engineer at Airbnb](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100361-hacking-ios-and-developing-for-airbnb-with-nicolas-haunold-software-engineer-at-airbnb) 路 Nicolas Haunold, Thomas Pamminger - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) 路 Stefan Lingler, Thomas Pamminger - [Of San Francisco and Cleaning Pipes with Andreas Klinger, VP Engineer at CoinList](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100359-of-san-francisco-and-cleaning-pipes-with-andreas-klinger-vp-engineer-at-coinlist) 路 Andreas Klinger, Thomas Pamminger - [Always on the Right Track with Rails with Eileen Uchitelle, Senior System Engineer at GitHub](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100358-always-on-the-right-track-with-rails-with-eileen-uchitelle-senior-system-engineer-at-github) 路 Eileen Uchitelle, Thomas Pamminger ## Articles - [Never delegate the understanding](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/749-never-delegate-the-understanding) ## Links - [X](https://x.com/thomaspamminger) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomaspamminger) - [Blog](https://toms.md) - [GitHub](https://github.com/tonze)
