Circles Ideas - Help us shape the future of Plato Academy

🎉 Exciting news from Plato Academy: in our attempt to have the community shape the future of Plato Academy, we're introducing Circle Ideas! 🎉

We want to ensure that our mentors invest their efforts in creating content that truly resonates with you, our community. That's why we've launched Circle Ideas - a platform where YOU can help us adapt to the ever-changing needs of engineering leadership community. Link in comment!

We launched Circles Ideas because mentors spend a LOT of time preparing for their Circles, so it's crucial to focus on topics that genuinely interest our community.

Here's a glimpse of some proposed topics:

• Defining a world-class API strategy
• Efficient team & org design for engineering directors
• Build machine learning products millions of users love
• and 50 others potential Circles
