Agile Project Management

In this session, we dive into Pranayama, (an ancient practice to discover the flow of energy within) and the power of conscious breathing, which is one of the most important aspects of the original yogic lifestyle. On these Tuesday evenings, we do more than just a breathwork session: this is an opportunity to explore a true harmony between our breath & the mind - body connection. We begin with a 15-minute chest-opening yoga sequence to gently expand our lungs and prepare for deeper breathing (no need for gym clothes though, just an open mind). Then, we explore different breathing techniques designed for self-awareness, relaxation, and energy flow. These classes are designed to help you discover how breath can be a tool to balance, energize, and center yourself. To close, we immerse in a short yet profound "silent concert", a meditative sound journey where 174 Hz sound waves or white noise guide us into a state of deep harmony. Whether emotions are light or heavy, thoughts are clear or clouded, this is a space to simply be and find some peace.

The Men’s Circle of Excellence Gathering, for men who seek truth, mastery, and a life beyond mediocrity. The goal is simple: to support each other in mastering mind and spirit, breaking free from comfort, and moving toward excellence in every area of life. Modern life offers endless distractions but little real connection. Too often, men walk the path of self-development alone, or struggle against the negative pull of today’s society. The Men’s Circle of Excellence was created to change that: to bring support, accountability, challenge, and community energy. We gather in person to share openly, confront fears, and inspire one another to reach higher. Here, power is rooted in virtue, strength is balanced with empathy, and ambition is guided by wisdom. How it works: • Welcome & introductions: Meet new members and reconnect with familiar faces. • Open sharing: Each man speaks about his current challenges, fears, or obstacles. • Honest reflections: The group responds with insight and encouragement. • Connection Time: After the circle, we'll have extra time to relax, talk, and build friendships. Recommendation: • Before the event, take some time to think about your current situation and what to bring into the circle. Limited to max. 8 men per gathering to keep the space focused, personal, and meaningful. Confirm your attendance to reserve your spot.

*“Az emberiség valódi problémája ez: Őskori érzelmeink, középkori intézményeink és istenszerű technológiáink vannak. És ez rémisztően veszélyes, és mindez most közeledik egy krízisponthoz.”* **Edward O. Wilson.** *“A kihalás az emberi törekvés eltörlése.”* **Carl Sagan.** Az emberiség fejlődése jelentősen megváltoztatta körülöttünk a világot, olyan lehetőségeket nyitva meg, amelyek korábban elképzelhetetlenek voltak. Az ipari forradalom óta az emberiség életszínvonala, várható élettartama és boldogsága drasztikusan megnőtt, miközben számos súlyos probléma – mint a szegénység, a betegségek és a háborúk halálossága, vagy a rasszizmus – jelentősen csökkent. A több lehetőséggel viszont több veszély is jár. Egyre fejlettebb technológiáinkkal lehetőségünk van az emberiség legtöbb nagy problémájának megoldására, ugyanakkor most már mi magunk jelentjük a legnagyobb fenyegetést saját túlélésünkre. **Nick Bostrom** & **Toby Ord** az egzisztenciális katasztrófát az emberiség hosszú távú potenciáljának tartós, visszafordíthatatlan elvesztéseként definiálják (amely nemcsak az emberiség kihalását foglalja magában, hanem akár a tartós totalitárius disztópiát vagy a helyrehozhatatlan összeomlást is). Bostrom ökölszabály-javaslata az egzisztenciális katasztrófa kezelésére a „Maxipok" stratégia alkalmazása: maximalizáljuk egy "elfogadható" kimenetel valószínűségét (amely bármely olyan kimenetelt jelent, ami elkerüli az egzisztenciális katasztrófát). *Valóban ez lenne a legjobb hozzáállás az emberiség számára?* Ezalkalommal megvizsgáljuk az emberiséget leginkább fenyegető egzisztenciális katasztrófák esélyeit, közelségét, és azt, hogy mit tehetünk ellenük egyéni illetve közösségi szinteken. **Bevezetés (15 perc)** Rövid bemutatkozással kezdünk, ahol a résztvevők röviden bemutatják magukat. **Többek között az alábbi kérdéseket is feltesszük (1 óra 45 perc):** - A világ jelenlegi állapotában minek kellene a civilizációnk legnagyobb prioritásának lennie? - Szerinted az emberek általában mekkora esélyt becsülnek egy egzisztenciális katasztrófa bekövetkezésére a következő 50 évben? Hogyan változik ez a szám, ha szakértőket kérdezünk meg helyettük? - Van-e erkölcsi kötelezettségünk arra, hogy megóvjuk a jövőt a következő generációk számára? A jövő megóvása alapvető érdekünk-e, vagy inkább egy mások javára hozott áldozat részünkről? - Milyen filantrópiát tartsunk a legfontosabbnak és miért? - Egy egzisztenciális katasztrófa esetén mely jövőbeli lehetőségek elvesztését fájlalnád a legjobban? - Hogyan kellene priorizálnunk az alábbi fenyegetési kategóriák kezelését? 1.Természeti katasztrófák (pl. aszteroida-becsapódás) 2.Emberi tevékenység által okozott környezeti katasztrófák (pl. klímaváltozás) 3.Nukleáris fegyverek 4.Biológiai fegyverek 5.Mesterséges szuperintelligencia 6.Ismeretlen ismeretlenek - Mely érdekcsoportok állhatnak a fenti fenyegetések mögött és hogyan? Hogyan lehetne őket ellenérdekeltté tenni? Megváltoztathatná-e a viselkedésüket a halhatatlanság felajánlása az egyesített erőfeszítés jutalmaként? - Képes-e egy kevésbé intelligens lény irányítani egy nála intelligensebb lényt? - Hogyan éreznéd magad, ha egy nálad intelligensebb lény kegyétől függenél, akit nem ismersz és nem tudsz felfogni? - Miért kap olyan kevés figyelmet és forrást az egzisztenciális kockázatok mérséklése? *Ajánlott film: [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11286314/](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11286314/) - Ha megváltoztatnánk a gazdasági hátteret, az alapvető változásokat hozna az egzisztenciális veszélyek mérséklésére fordított erőforrásokban is? - Az egzisztenciális veszélyek csökkentése állami vagy globális hatáskör kellene legyen? - Mi lehet a legjobb, amit most tehetünk? A maximális hatás érdekében most használni az erőforrásainkat, vagy későbbi esetleges szükséghelyzetre tartalékolni inkább? Más szavakkal: Mennyire élünk döntő pillanatokat most? **(az esemény magyar nyelvű)** **RSVP:** A helyszín jelezte felém, hogy az utóbbi időben sajnos nem érkezik elegendő fogyasztás a csoportunktól. Miközben a létszám növekszik, a fogyasztás csökken :( Ezért bevezetünk egy egyszerű rendszert: a fogyasztás kiváltja a belépőt. Ha fogyasztasz, nem szükséges hozzájárulni a csoporthoz. Az alábbiakat tudjátok választani: - Bruschetta (vegetáriánus, tényleg nagyon finom): 3000 Ft - Alkoholmentes vörösbor (pohár): 2000 Ft (kedvezményes ár) - Csomag (bruschetta + bor): 4500 Ft Ebben az esetben nincs külön belépődíj. Ha nem fogyasztasz ezek közül, akkor marad a min. 400 Ft hozzájárulás, ajánlottan 1000 Ft. Köszönöm a megértést!

Spec-driven development flips the traditional workflow on its head: instead of code being the source of truth, the specification becomes the backbone of design, collaboration, and delivery. In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects.

We invite you to an in-person session in Seattle exploring the real impact of AI on knowledge-driven industries — from shifting economics and the disruption of traditional SaaS and consulting models to where organizations can still build lasting competitive advantage. As AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini continue to redefine how work gets done, organizations face a critical question: how can they adapt, remain competitive, and create lasting value? We’ll discuss practical strategies for integrating AI while preserving human expertise, along with actionable approaches to upskilling teams for an AI-driven workplace. Drawing on real-world experience from training thousands of professionals and deploying AI solutions, this session will provide clear, applicable insights for today’s evolving landscape. Following a short presentation, the session will open into an interactive discussion where attendees can share perspectives and explore key questions around the evolving role of humans, organizational adaptation, and staying competitive in an AI-first world. **Who should attend:** • Executives and managers in SaaS, consulting, and knowledge-driven organizations • Professionals exploring AI upskilling and workforce transformation • Anyone interested in the future of AI and knowledge work 📍 **Location:** Data Science Dojo, 5010 148th Ave NE, Suite 200A, Redmond, WA, United States 🔗 **Google Maps:** [https://lnkd.in/d8WA-yNc](https://lnkd.in/d8WA-yNc) **💻 Online Access:** A livestream will be available for those unable to attend in person; however, the full interactive experience is reserved for in-person participants.
