Building Self-Improving CI/CD and Optimizing Performance at Superhuman
Join us on **March 25** to learn how the **Superhuman Engineering team is building a CI/CD system that learns, adapts, and gets faster over time**.
✅ **To attend the event**, please **register** **on Luma**: https://luma.com/loqydsym
Please note that **only guests with a confirmed Luma registration will be admitted**. Due to limited capacity, we won’t be able to accommodate attendees who haven't registered.
Most teams treat their CI/CD pipeline as infrastructure that “just works”—until it doesn’t. Three Superhuman engineers share how they combined AI-driven automation, test-strategy overhauls, and infrastructure migration to build a pipeline that not only runs but also continuously improves itself.
🚀 [Dushan Terzikj](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dushanterzikj/) will share concrete examples of how the Grammarly Inkwell team reduced CI pipeline flakiness and duration—from parallelizing unit tests and migrating to Storybook, to switching from dedicated macOS runners to on-demand Kubernetes runners. Attendees will walk away with practical, actionable techniques to make their own pipelines faster and more reliable.
🚀 [Timo Fink](https://www.linkedin.com/in/fink-timo/) will explain how Superhuman incorporated AI agents into their CI pipelines to develop a Self-Healing system. You will learn how we leverage Claude Code to automatically audit the reliability of our test suite and proactively suggest and prepare improvements for human review.
🚀 Darek Komosinski will show how his team exposes structured performance trace data to AI to automatically detect issues and surface actionable fixes. You will learn how combining rule-based analyzers with an AI summarization layer turns thousands of raw traces into a concise, prioritized report without manual triage.
**About the speakers**:
🔈 **Dushan Terzikj** is a Software Engineer at Superhuman Platform Inc., where he works on the Superhuman browser extension—formerly the Grammarly browser extension—which serves more than 40 million monthly active users. He has also worked on a platform supporting the browser extension, where his team’s main goal was to deliver an outstanding developer experience.
🔈 **Timo Fink** is a Software Engineer at Superhuman Platform Inc., where he works on the Grammarly for Windows application. Grammarly for Windows, now part of the Superhuman suite, is the trusted AI writing partner for turning scattered thoughts into aligned, impactful communication. Timo has started to focus his efforts on developer experience, ensuring work can happen as fluidly as possible by removing recurring blockers like flaky pipelines.
🔈**Darek Komosiński** is a Software Engineer at Superhuman Platform Inc., where he works on the Grammarly for Windows application as a tech lead. He focuses on improving the performance of our apps (from observability to fixing issues) to make sure we can offer maximum value to users with minimal system impact.
**Who should attend**:
* Software engineers who want to apply AI-based tools to common developer experience problems
* Technical leaders who want to offer their teams a new perspective on how to approach these challenges
**Agenda:**
✨ 18:00–18:30: Check-in and networking
✨ 18:30–19:45: Talks
✨ 19:45–20:45: Mingle with our team
Laugh without Reason Event (DE/EN)
Important information: The event will always take place regardless of how many people attend the meetup. There is always a second laughter yoga conductor (Heidi) and a couple of other regulars who don't use Meetup.
Laughter Yoga is a unique concept that combines laughter exercises with yoga breathing to promote wellness and overall happiness. You will learn how to laugh without reason. The event is perfect for anyone looking to de-stress, boost their mood, and connect with others in a light-hearted and fun way. You don't need any yoga experience, just the willingness to laugh.
**Do I need special clothing?**
* Just wear comfortable clothes. Please bring some thick socks or clean shoes for the room.
**Do I need anything else?**
* It is essential to stay hydrated. **Please bring some water**.
* Comfortable clothes. Thick socks or clean shoes for the room.
* An open mind.
**Is it free?**
* Participation costs 5€. Alternatively, you can use Urban Sports Club. These costs are mainly used to cover rent for the room, meetup fees, website, insurance, flyers, etc.
* Link for Urban Sports Club (USC): https://urbansportsclub.com/de/venues/laughter-yoga-club-kreativhaus
**What does an event look like?**
* We incorporate laughter exercises, breathing exercises, playful exercises, positive affirmations, and dancing. The event ends with a laughter meditation of \~ 15 minutes.
**What if I can't laugh?**
* Everything is voluntary. If you can't laugh, you can simulate it, and usually, people get into genuine laughter during the sessions. Laughter yoga is a great way to laugh more, to laugh deeper, and more frequently!
**How many people show up?**
* Usually, the group size is between 7 and 20 people. Regardless how many people sign up via meetup, the event will always take place. Many people don't sign up via meetup.
**Where is it?**
* It's close to U2 Märkisches Museum. The Kreativhaus Berlin Mitte has one entrance. Please be there 5 minutes before we start. After 7 pm, it might be closed, and you either have to ring the bell or go around the house and watch out for the yellow smiley flag. The session takes place in "Projektraum 2/3".
Sessions are either in German or English. We always make sure that everyone understands it.

Feminist March: The Beautiful World of Georgia O’Keeffe
### **Feminist March: The Beautiful World of Georgia O’Keeffe - A Watercolour Workshop**
This Feminist March, join us for a two-session watercolour workshop inspired by the powerful and poetic world of **Georgia O’Keeffe** — one of the most influential women artists of the 20th century.
Known for her bold **florals, sweeping landscapes, and deeply personal approach to colour and form,** O’Keeffe transformed ordinary subjects into extraordinary expressions of strength, softness, and presence. **Her work invites us to slow down, look closer, and paint what we *feel* as much as what we see.**
During these two sessions, we’ll read about Georgia’s life and artistic journey, observe her iconic paintings, and explore how she used colour, scale, and flowing shapes to create emotionally rich compositions.
Together, **we’ll experiment with watercolour techniques inspired by her style — from soft washes and layered petals to expressive shapes and organic movement**. Flowers will take centre stage, but we’ll also play with abstraction and simplified forms, creating our own original pieces inspired by O’Keeffe’s unique vision (never copying, always interpreting).
You’ll be guided step by step as you create your own watercolour artwork, learning how to build depth, work with loose brushstrokes, and let colour lead the way.
✨ No previous experience needed — this workshop is open to beginners and curious creatives alike. Come celebrate creativity, feminine strength, and the beauty of nature through watercolour. We’d love to paint with you.
The workshop includes **two classes**, but you’re also welcome to join individual sessions (when available).
To receive the registration form and full details, please contact:
📩 **hola.berlinartclub@gmail.com**
**When:**
Wednesday 18 - 25 March
From 6 to 8PM
**Where:**
Friedrichshain, Berlin
(You will receive the exact address by e-mail)
**Price:**
**65€** for the entire workshop (2 classes) or **35€** per single class
*Special discount for regular students: 60€/30€*
**Material:**
You will need a watercolour set + watercolour paper + brushes. If you need suggestions about the material, get in touch. If you need some recommendations, this might help:

I WRITE – A Silent Writing Club (Just You & Your Words)
Welcome to **I WRITE**, a gentle space for anyone who wants to write—quietly, freely, and without judgement.
We are a Berlin community of writers who gather together weekly to write, talk and recharge after a long week. Some of us journal, some write novels, some do academic writing, many people come without a project in mind and see where the inspiration flow takes them. This is a space to simply show up and write, a safe place to be yourself and to release all your layers onto the paper.
There’s no set topic, no feedback circle, and no pressure. Just warm people, a calm atmosphere, and time dedicated to yourself.
🗓️ **Agenda:**
* 14:30 - 15:00 **→** 30 min arriving, optional socialising (arrive early, meet other writers)
* 15:00 - 16:00 **→** 1 hour of silent writing (headphones welcome, focus encouraged)
* 16:00–16:30 **→** 30 mins break + optional chat or solo time (stay and chat or go celebrate the rest of your Saturday)
* 16:30–17:30 → 1 more hour of silent writing (for those staying)
* 17:30–18:00 → 30 mins of chat, and leaving
🎒 **Bring:**
* Something to write with (laptop, notebook, phone, typewriter… anything goes)
* Something to drink (there is no cafeteria, unfortunately)
* Your current project or a blank page
* Yourself, exactly as you are
**👉 Responsibility:**
* Our location is limited; thus, I am kindly asking you to RSVP only if you are willing to attend.
**📍Location:**
* We meet at **Heinrich Schulz Library in Charlottenburg**. In the library, go look for the Gruppenraum; I will be waiting for you there. Any trouble finding the room, I will come to meet you outside.
* 🚇 U7 **Richard-Wagner-Platz**
* 🚌 M45 Bus **U Richard-Wagner-Platz**
**About me:**
Hi, my name is Anastasia. I started this writing club back in May 2025. Since then, it has been hosted weekly at the Heinrich Schulz Library (who is kind enough to allow us to use this room for free). Over this time, I’ve been privileged to meet some of the most creative and kind minds in Berlin. And I would be happy if you joined us. Whether you're an experienced writer or just at the beginning of your journey, you're welcome. If you know how to hold a pen or how to type, there will always be a space for you.
Let's write together!
Kreative Schreibwerkstatt in Kreuzberg (14:30 Uhr!)
Für Mitglieder von Text Collective Berlin ist die Teilnahme an dieser Veranstaltung kostenlos.
Nicht-Mitglieder werden um einen Teilnahmebeitrag von zehn Euro gebeten. Hier buchen: [https://textcollective.de/ticket](https://textcollective.de/ticket)
Es handelt sich um einen moderierten Workshop.
Bei mehr als 20 Teilnehmenden teilen wir die Gruppe mit zwei Moderator\*innen auf!
Kreative Schreibübung mit anschließender Diskussion zum Erfahrungsaustausch, Inspiration und Motivation zu sammeln. Ein Raum für alle, die kreativ schreiben möchten – egal ob du gerade erst anfängst oder schon länger schreibst.
**Jeden vierten Samstag des Monats von 14:30 Uhr bis 16:30 Uhr in Kreuzberg, Oranienstr. 72, nahe U-Bhf Moritzplatz.**
**Was dich erwartet:**
In unseren Treffen arbeiten wir mit abwechslungsreichen Schreibimpulsen, die neue Perspektiven eröffnen und spielerisches Experimentieren ermöglichen. Du schreibst direkt vor Ort, teilst deine Texte mit der Gruppe (freiwillig!) und erhältst konstruktives Feedback.
Die Atmosphäre ist offen und unterstützend. Hier darf ein Text noch unfertig sein, eine Idee noch roh, ein Gedanke noch unausgereift. In dieser Atmosphäre gegenseitiger Wertschätzung entsteht der Mut, sich auszuprobieren und die eigene Stimme zu entdecken. Wir lesen einander vor, geben Rückmeldung, ermutigen uns gegenseitig und praktizieren das Zuhören.
Change Of Perspective: Writing From Unusual Angles
*Do you feel like all your texts sound the same, or are you simply stuck in a writing rut? You’re in good company—but it doesn’t have to stay that way! In this writing workshop, you’ll consciously shift your perspective and watch your stories come to life (again), perhaps even surprising you in the process.*
Instead of telling everything from your usual perspective, you try out new points of view: you write from other people’s voices, observe like a camera, slip into characters, things, or places. With playful exercises, short moments of mindfulness, and guided writing prompts, you break away from „this is how I always write“ and find completely new approaches to your texts.
You don’t need any finished ideas, a „perfect style,“ or talent. Just curiosity and a desire to experiment.
**The workshop will help you:**
* Overcome writer’s block
* Find new perspectives for your writing
* Write more creatively and boldly
* Break out of stuck patterns
* Create lively, multi-layered stories
* Rediscover the joy and ease of writing
Through several playful writing phases, reflection, and exchange, you will learn that sometimes all it takes is a new perspective—and a whole new story emerges.
This workshop is part 4 of the workshop series „The Mindful Artist’s Way“ and can be booked individually or as part of a package. It’s never too late to join, and each workshop is self-contained and effective on its own.
All you need is yourself + a laptop or pen and paper. If you like to write with music in your ears, feel free to bring headphones—I’ve prepared a playlist for you. It’s best to wear something comfortable so that you can move freely and feel completely at ease.
**Participation fee: €15**

March book selection: Time Shelter by Georgi Gospodinov
Ahhhhh, nostalgia!
We jump to Bulgaria in this third meeting of our Book Club and explore the delicate and intricate relationship that we humans entertain with our past and memories.
Time Shelter imagines a world where **memory and time take center stage**, driven by a compelling idea: what would happen if people could literally *live in the past*?
**About the book**
In *Time Shelter*, an enigmatic flâneur named Gaustine opens a “clinic for the past” that offers a promising treatment for Alzheimer’s sufferers: each floor reproduces a decade in minute detail, transporting patients back in time. As Gaustine’s assistant, the unnamed narrator is tasked with collecting the flotsam and jetsam of the past, from 1960s furniture and 1940s shirt buttons to scents and even afternoon light. But as the rooms become more convincing, an increasing number of healthy people seek out the clinic as a “time shelter”—a development that results in an unexpected conundrum when the past begins to invade the present.
**About the author**
Georgi Gospodinov (born 1968 in Yambol, Bulgaria) is a Bulgarian writer, poet, and essayist known for his reflective, playful, and philosophically rich style. He studied Bulgarian philology at Sofia University and first gained recognition as a poet before achieving international success as a novelist. His writing often explores memory, time, identity, melancholy, and the everyday absurdities of modern life, blending irony with deep emotional insight.
Gospodinov’s prose is marked by **fragmentation, humor, and a strong sensitivity to personal and collective history, especially the legacy of Eastern Europe after communism.** His novels *Natural Novel* and *Time Shelter* (*Cronorifugio*), which won the 2023 International Booker Prize, established him as one of the most important contemporary European writers. He is widely admired for his ability to turn intimate experiences and historical reflection into innovative, accessible literature.
**About the location of the event**
It will be announced at least 2 days before the event takes place with all the details.
**Event contribution alert**
The event might require a small participation fee (3-5 euros) or the purchase of something to eat or drink in case we are hosted by a coffee shop. I will make sure to communicate that in advance.
GATHERING OF ANIMATED SHORTS
You want to make animated short film, collaborate on, or be part of the creation process; this meetup is for you!
From animators, storytellers, character designers, 3D modellers, sound designers or voice actors, join in and share your work.
We present our creations and work processes, share our knowledge and skills, give and receive honest constructive feedback.
This regular meet-up is there to set a structure in our creation process, initiate the opportunity to collaborate and to be a source of inspiration.
The goal is the process.
Let us enjoy the animations we want to make!
PS: The café has another floor, take some time to look upstairs ;)

Silent Reading / Creating Club is a gathering for people who enjoy focusing together in public.
Bring a book, a notebook, a sketchpad, knitting needles, whatever you’d like to spend a quiet hour doing. All projects and all participants are welcome.
This year is about creating more, quietly, consistently, and imperfectly. We're fostering an environment that supports that. If you’re building something of your own, you’re especially welcome here.
We’re building a community of readers and creators who value depth, presence, and shared silence. The magic isn’t just in the quiet hour — it’s in the people who return and make it feel like a familiar room.
(Please RSVP “yes” only if you can make it, so we can save a seat for you and others on the waitlist.)
This quiet ritual unfolds at **W66 Café**.
There’s no entrance fee, but please order at least one item from the café and don’t bring outside drinks 🙂
No assignments, expectations, or pressure. Just a shared hour of intentional silence, followed by the opportunity for good conversation.
🕰 Our Agenda
**10:30 – 11:00**
Arrivals, ordering drinks/food, light social time
**11:00 – 12:00**
The Great Quiet Hour
(Read. Write. Sketch. Code. Think. Sit.)
**12:00 – 12:30**
Optional socializing — share what you were reading or creating, or simply continue in quiet focus.
## **🏡 House Guidelines**
To keep this space calm and welcoming for everyone:
• Silence during the focus hour (no calls or conversations)
• Put cellphones on silent mode
• If using technology, please avoid meetings or audio (headphones please!)
• Arrive before 11:00 if possible to minimize disruptions

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00pm on Wednesday, March 25 at Streetlight Guild.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
**SCHEDULE:**
6:45ish - Quick introductions
7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
8:00 - The End
**OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
**BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild!

Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you!
**OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:**
* **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space!
* **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels.

Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People
**Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People**
Confidence isn’t just about believing in yourself, it’s about knowing where you belong and who you can grow alongside.
In this April Confidence Lab Happy Hour, we’ll explore how living in your authentic truth helps you find your people, build meaningful collaborations, and create spaces where vulnerability is met with respect rather than risk. Together, we’ll reflect on what it looks like to advocate for yourself with clarity and care, and how confidence deepens when it’s rooted in connection rather than comparison.
Featured speaker **Lachandra Baker**, founder of **[LBB Edutainment](https://www.lbbedutainment.com/)** and author of *Your Own Biggest Cheerleader*, will share reflections on authenticity, psychological safety, and the power of community over individual achievement. Drawing from personal stories—including the significance of turning 53—Lachandra will invite us into a conversation about showing up fully, being seen, and choosing relationships that support who you truly are.
Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere with space for reflection, shared insight, and intentional connection—plus drinks, light bites, and the kind of conversations that remind you you’re not meant to do this alone.
Come as you are. Leave feeling clearer about your voice, your people, and the confidence that grows when both are aligned.
**What is Confidence Lab?**
Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here.
Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work.
It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact.
***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*
