At InnoIT Consulting, we are delighted to invite you to our upcoming event, organized in collaboration with *DevOps BCN*, on **Thursday, July 2**. 🎙️*Ship Without Fear: Specs, AI, and Modern DevOps* **SUMMARY** We will be joined by **[Matīss Treinis](https://www.linkedin.com/in/matisst/)** (Creator and Author, SpecDD) and **[Vicent Soria](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vicentsoria/)** (Fractional Infrastructure Engineer, Tech A Breath). 🎙️**I apologise for the confusion! Anyway, here's the same plausible but wrong software again**, Matīss Treinis Introduction to SpecDD, a Specification-driven development framework that enables humans and AI agents to build better software. 🎙️**DevOps Horror Stories Vol. 1**, Vicent Soria We will be reviewing some of my nightmares: the time I dropped a production database, the two days of downtime, and the rewrite pushed to production the very day its lead developer walked out the door. Real DevOps disasters, what went wrong, and the hard-won lessons that survived the chaos. Come for the schadenfreude, stay for the postmortems. With time for a dynamic **Q&A session and, of course, our networking with food 🍕 and drinks 🍻.** **👥 Do you want to come along?** Share this invitation with all your contacts, or click the "share" button below. **WHEN:** Thursday, July 2 at 6:30 PM **WHERE:** Oficinas InnoIT Consulting, [C/ Diputació, 280, Bajos 2ª, 08009, Barcelona](https://maps.app.goo.gl/zC6Sf2jUogxauX317) **LANGUAGE:** English **Join our [newsletter](https://www.inno-it.es/newsletter/)!** Don't miss out on upcoming events, exciting news and special job offers.

**🔎The session:** AI is already part of how we work, but most people are still using it as a chat or an autocomplete tool. The next step is moving from asking for help to letting AI actually do parts of the work for you. **That is where agents come in**. In this session, we explore **how to build and use AI agents in a practical way using tools like GitHub Copilot, Agent Mode, MCP, and reusable skills**. The focus is not on complex architectures, but on what is useful in real day-to-day work. We walk you through **what an AI agent is** and why it makes sense to use one instead of just prompts or simple automations. You will see how agents can reason, plan, and execute tasks across multiple steps, and how to apply patterns that already work in production. We also look at **how this fits into your existing workflow**, especially in environments like VS Code, and **how agents can connect to real systems and data**. Real examples will show how to automate documentation, interact with data platforms such as Microsoft Fabric, and create reusable workflows that save time. The session also **covers common mistakes**, including overcomplicating solutions with too many agents, and how to keep things simple, controlled, and maintainable. 🎯**The goal is to give you a clear and practical understanding so you can start using agents in your own work without overengineering.** 👩‍💻**This session is for you if:** * you are a developer working with code on a daily basis * you use tools like VS Code, GitHub, or similar environments * you are an engineer interested in improving productivity using AI beyond autocomplete * you want to explore how to integrate AI agents into real workflows -No prior experience with AI agents is required -Basic understanding of development workflows is enough 📋**Agenda** 🙋18:00 Registration & Welcome **🗣️18:30** Session and Q&A 🌮19:30 Drinks & Bites We look forward to this inspiring evening together! 🤩

**Scientific Paper Reading Club: Beyond Transformers & Multimodal Frontiers** This is part of the scientific paper reading club. This Saturday, we are expanding our horizons beyond standard LLMs! Following our recent discussions, we will be diving into points 3 and 5 from our reading list presentation: **Alternative architectures (SSM/RNN)** and **Multimodal foundation models**. To make it even more exciting, we will be connecting these topics to some of the freshest breakthroughs presented at the recent ICLR conference ([https://iclr.cc/](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Ficlr.cc%2F)). **What to expect:** Our presenter, Maxim Musin, will guide us through these two major frontiers in modern AI: 1. **Alternative Architectures (SSM/RNN):** Transformers are incredibly powerful, but their computational costs remain a massive bottleneck for long contexts. We will discuss why State Space Models (SSMs) like Mamba are emerging as the next big leap. We will look at fresh ICLR[[1](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Fvertexaisearch.cloud.google.com%2Fgrounding-api-redirect%2FAUZIYQGC4niR9aCGjHBT9LMF4wz46OkiGKU9B7nghuo3OzbRQCWNy4fGizlUydBsvuhZgYay8Y31rCTrfquWnuEHjAibPui0IrBi71JMXQG59U0rk5DKa-hzJg%3D%3D)] insights, such as "Mamba-3: Improved Sequence Modeling using State Space Principles" [https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.15569](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Farxiv.org%2Fabs%2F2603.15569) and "MambaSL: Exploring Single-Layer Mamba for Time Series Classification" [https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.15174](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Farxiv.org%2Fabs%2F2604.15174) 2. **Multimodal Foundation Models:** We will explore how AI is learning to "think" natively across different continuous spaces and complex interactions. We will touch on standout ICLR papers like "Massively Multimodal Foundation Models: A Framework for Capturing Interactions with Specialized Mixture-of-Experts" [https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.25678](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Farxiv.org%2Fabs%2F2509.25678) and "Theory of Space: Can Foundation Models Construct Spatial Beliefs through Active Exploration?" [https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.07055](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Farxiv.org%2Fabs%2F2602.07055) You don't need a heavy math background to join—Maxim will break down the intuition behind these complex architectures so that the core concepts are easy to follow for everyone. **Meeting Details:** 🗣 **Presenter:** Maxim Musin 💬 **Language of the meeting:** English 🎟 **Entrance donation:** 10 eur 📍 **Location:** Maui coworking (Note: For some reason, Meetup maps sometimes wrongly point to other addresses. Here is the exact address: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/fjx9t4zG8GnEmXLr9?g_st=ac](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Fmaps.app.goo.gl%2Ffjx9t4zG8GnEmXLr9%3Fg_st%3Dac) ) Looking forward to a great discussion this Saturday! Aparently there is no way of fixing meetup's markdown mess, sorry for this guys, just use your abstract imagination and experience with latech to read anouncement, this markdown render problem seem so be some kind of bug, i cleaned it in the redactor but with no effect, probably copying and pasting it clean into editor will solve it, but generating clean landing page with similar capabilities in claude code would also solve it in a way, so i didn't bother, see you at saturday

Close to twenty years of production platforms, infrastructure, distributed systems, developer tooling, and the organisational structures around them. My background is in software engineering and architecture, but most of my work has lived where product requirements, developer tooling, infrastructure, delivery process, and team structure all meet. I build the systems around the software as much as the software itself. I have run full technology functions end-to-end: development, architecture, DevOps, delivery, hiring, vendor strategy, and operational structure. A lot of my career has been spent taking environments that are unstable, fragmented, or afraid to ship, and turning them into organisations that can move quickly without collapsing under their own weight. I still work hands-on every day. I write code, work in infrastructure, and stay close to the actual problems instead of managing them from a distance. *** * **Title: DevOps Horror Stories Vol. 1** * **Speaker**: **[Vicent Soria](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vicentsoria/)** \- Fractional Infrastructure Engineer @ [techabreath.com](https://techabreath.com/) * **Duration**: 30-45 mins * **About**: I work with management and technical teams to connect strategy with execution. My goal is to transform technology from an obstacle into a business driver. I act as a fractional CTO, DevOps engineer, or technology consultant, depending on each client's needs at any given time. I provide a practical and strategic perspective, helping to make impactful technology decisions: those that accelerate projects, improve processes, and align technology with business objectives. \-\-\-\- 🔑 **Important Access Note** Our host requires the attendees to provide their ID to grant us access to their offices. **Do not forget to fill in the "NIF - NIE - Passport" field** when registering!

Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it “seems good,” and move on. That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable. In this talk, we’ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. We’ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork. This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it. We’ll cover: * Why “it looks good” is not enough * How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints * How to compare LLM outputs more systematically * Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness * How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results * Where automated evaluation works — and where humans still need to stay in the loop By the end, you’ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

NFT's are here to stay folks! This is a group for like minded people interested in understanding, leveraging, using, creating for, profiting from, trading too i suppose, NFT's.. everything around them, complexity, fear and exploits, best practices and more. **PLUS** This group will talk AI ART tools, techniques, artists, video, audio, prototypes and more in the AI assisted production space- ART specifically, but we can get into any aspect of some of the cooler things happening in AI in general.

We're planning a hands-on technical session focused on building AI solutions in ServiceNow - think skills, agents, and real-world use cases. If you’re curious about AI on the platform, RSVP now and stay tuned for more details. Let's build together!

**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** *July Meeting - Lightning Talks!* Lightning talks are very short presentations on a topic of your choice (must be related to .NET). Talks should be 15-20 minutes in length and include minimal slides and quick demo (no live coding please). There will be 6 slots available! First come, first serve! **YouTube Link** TBD

**Practical Curiosity: Learning from Everyday Data** How do we actually get better at utilizing our day-to-day data? Fancy dashboards and complex models might look nice and draw attention, but that’s not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analyst’s daily practice. Sometimes it’s as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. There’s many different places that the spark of insight can come from, but you have to keep your head in the data and know where to look. In this session, we’ll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. You’ll leave with inspiration for your own use cases, along with a few simple ways to ask better questions, spot meaningful patterns, and make smarter decisions without overcomplicating it. **About Our Speaker:** [Elaine Armbruster](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elainearmbruster/) is a Director of Digital Experience at the [American Diabetes Association](https://diabetes.org/), where she focuses on using data and insights to create smarter, more effective digital experiences.

You can sleep in on the Sesquicentennial (observed), we’re shifting to the following Friday. But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to. Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.
