Community Night

Join us for an evening at the Active Solution office, where we are thrilled to host a fun event tailored for software development enthusiasts like yourself. This meetup will feature two speakers, each talking about different but very interesting subjects, offering a great opportunity for inspiration, learning, and networking with the community.

Chris Klug will take the stage to unravel the mysteries of Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and explore its most valuable practices. Gain insights into how these practices, often shrouded in complexity, can become indispensable tools in your developer toolkit. After Chris we will have a snackbreak and then Alan Smith will lead us through an exploration of the strategic decision-making capabilities of GPT-4. Discover whether this cutting-edge technology has what it takes to navigate the complexities of Starcraft II, providing us with a competitive edge in the gaming realm.
Don't miss this chance to join us for a fun evening full of inspiration, knowledge and interesting discussions. We look forward to meeting you there!

NOTE: This is an on-site/IRL event in Stockholm. It will not be streamed or available online. Please only sign up if you can make it to the venue and if you are prevented, let us know so we can order just the right amount of food.

SESSION: Exposing the not-so-secret practices of the cult of DDD
For decades, the followers of the Legend of the Ubiquitous Language, have been successfully implementing software solutions in complex domains. Using the not-so-secret practices outlined by the cult of DDD, they merge the realms of development and business to create understandable and manageable software.
But even if these powerful practices aren't secret, they are shrouded in mystery and complex language. Making them tools used almost exclusively by developers who have studied the ancient book of Evans. A book filled with incantations like "bounded context", "value object" and "anti-corruption layer".

But that ends today! In this session, we will expose some of the most useful DDD practices for what they are. And we will also show you how they can become powerful tools in your developer toolbelt. Even if you do not want to bend your knee to the craftspeople of old, and spend the rest of your career trying to explain the legend of the ubiquitous language to everyone around you.

SPEAKER: Chris Klug

SESSION: GPT-4 vs Starcraft II – Strategic Decision Making using Large Language Models
Starcraft II requires complex strategy decisions to be made in real-time. Planning resources, building the optimal structures and units, when to upgrade and when to defend or attack will all be critical to the success in a game. Large language models, such as GPT-4, have shown impressive performance on various natural language tasks, such as text summarization, question answering, and text generation. But how well can they make strategic decisions in a dynamic and competitive environment?In this demo intensive session Alan will explore the capabilities of large-language models for strategic decision making. He will explain the strategy decisions that need to be made in a Starcraft game, and what makes it an ideal scenario for exploring and evaluating the capabilities of GPT-4. Alan will then focus on the techniques for leveraging GPT models for strategic decision making, including prompt engineering and state description as well as parsing and understanding the response messages. He will also discuss different scenarios where large language models can be leveraged in strategic decision making.Join me for this session if you want to learn more about using GPT models in strategic decision-making processes, or just sit back and watch GPT-4 destroy the Zerg.

SPEAKER: Alan Smith
