**“Rotten Apple” is Maya Upchurch’s ranty, angry, morally-corrupt debut stand-up hour. Inspired by the likes of Bill Hicks, Bill Burr and Joan Rivers, she's a high-energy force of Gen-Z nature who lacks the ability to speak of anything other than exactly what's on her mind. Based out of Berlin, she's got a truckload of tales from the European capital of hedonism and her Polish/American background gives her a unique and interesting perspective on what it’s like to have two strong passports and a generally good life.** **While Maya most certainly will make fun of everyone and everything on her path, her favorite person to roast is undoubtedly herself. Bringing light to her time-wasting habits, irrational anxieties, and dependence on technology, she believes that "punching-up" is best done when it’s an upper-cut to yourself.** **Maya started doing standup in 2020, shortly after her first set there was lockdown because China was scared of her power. Since then she's done shows all around Europe, was a featured in The New York Times, performed with Don't Tell Comedy, opened for the likes of Todd Barry, Ashley Gavin, April Macie and did all sorts of other really cool and exciting stuff.** **When? 28th May 2026 8:30PM** **Where?

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** https://youtube.com/live/BltmWMH1zG0?feature=share
