Thessaloniki SKG JS Meetup #5 Microfrontends & Human-AI Interaction (HAII)
Details
Hey folks!
Here we go again,
The time for our 1st Meetup for the Academic Year 2025/26 and the 5th overall is just around the corner.
Time to catch-up with both familiar and new faces. We are happy to announce that it will take place on October 7, at 19.00 sharp at OKThess.
Our agenda is once again packed with two interesting talks.
The first speaker Alexandros Tshichouridis is a Senior Software Engineer at Deloitte, with over 5 years of experience in full-stack development, working across both frontend and backend technologies.
In his talk we’ll explore what problems microfrontends come to solve, what you should carefully consider before adopting this approach, and different techniques can be used in practice. We’ll dive a little bit at three main approaches:
1. Module Federation
2. Single-SPA and
3. Web Components
each with its own strengths, trade-offs, and real-world use cases.
Along the way, he’ll share his experience with microfrontends: when they worked well, when they didn’t, complex cases and problems you might face, and how you can decide if they’re the right fit for your team.
The second speaker Eleftheria Batsou works at cosine.sh, where she focuses on developer community and Human-AI Interaction. With a strong background in both coding and community building, Eleftheria helps developers not only learn new technologies but also understand how to design better experiences around them.
AI is no longer a “nice-to-have” feature—it’s becoming part of every developer’s toolkit. But designing interactions with AI isn’t the same as designing a button or a form. Unlike traditional Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Human-AI Interaction (HAII) is probabilistic, dynamic, and sometimes unpredictable.
In Eletheria's talk, we’ll explore:
•The key differences between HCI and HAII (and why devs should care).
•The main challenges of building AI-powered products: explainability, trust, and user control.
•Real-world examples (like Gemini and cosine.sh) that show how good design can make or break user trust.
•Practical takeaways you can use when building AI features—so your users stay in control and keep coming back.
By the end, you’ll understand how to go beyond just writing code for AI and start designing collaboration between humans and AI.
We will also have pizzas, that's a strong reason to drop by!
Looking forward to meet you all,
