**Tips and practical aspects to become a 100× developer with Dark Factory and Compound Engineering** A one-hour session on the Pier07 terrace — practical tips on Dark Factory and Compound Engineering, the evening before the full workshop. **What this session is** We are planning a focused, hands-on Schwartz edition for a small group. Before we lock the format, we need to know who is interested — please spread the word within your team and tell us if you would like to join. Practical tips on becoming a 100× developer with agentic workflows Dark Factory and Compound Engineering — what works in real teams Dark Factory & Compound Engineering Two ideas behind this session — in plain terms. **Dark Factory** Agents run the software lifecycle behind deterministic gates — specs, builds, tests, and review loops — while you steer intent, rules, and verification instead of every line of code. **Compound Engineering** Each cycle makes the next one easier: you capture learnings in instruction files, evaluators, and gates so the system gets measurably smarter — not more chaotic — every time agents run. **more details at:** [https://easyspecs.ai/labs/dark-factory-terrace-session-barcelona ](https://easyspecs.ai/labs/dark-factory-terrace-session-barcelona )

Circling and Transformational Connection - the practice of relational presencing Barcelona, Av Diagonal 345. 50 meters from Verdauger st. Press the button ' bajo' This group is about presence, authenticity, connection, aliveness and revealing the truth of the present moment. * Meeting meaningfully yourself and others in and trough the present moment - ☀️ This practice invites us for : -Slowing down. -Listening and landing. -Tuning into the present moment and the unique experience of it. \- Becoming aware and noticing how something "speaks" to you trough the unfoldment of the present moment\, within and in environment\. \- Revealing something meaningful for you from your felt sense and present moment experience to other/s\. \- Noticing how the presence of others impacts and 'speaks' to you\. \- Owning your bodily felt sense experience\. \- Trusting your experience\. \- Aiming to listen\, attune\, empathize and understand the other ones and to be with them in their experience\. ☀️This practice can be described as a relational meditation, or relational truth seeking. Aim is to gradually develop contemplative and reflective capacity towards all the nuances manifesting trough shared present moment experience. This can often create deep insights, meaningful moments in connection, and even altered states of consciousness. ☀️Some of the other skills which are developing trough this practice are : * awareness skills (body, emotion, energy) * communication skills * ability to stay in a present moment * connection skills * empathy, intuition, capacity to know beyond usualness * heart openness * trust to Life's wisdom * accuracy in articulation * ability to contemplate any life experience * The evening will unfold trough pair and group exercises.

(No clothing please, but accessories are more than welcome) What a great way to reduce waste! This month, we will unpack the terms '**Cleantech', 'Greentech'** and '**Climate tech**', discuss what they represent, how much money goes into developing such technologies, why governments and businesses want to show you that they have a stamp of approval, and why the climate change challenge remains unresolved, despite all the tech out there.

Turek Software changes. Dependencies evolve. New requirements appear. A Symfony application that can adapt to these shifts without major disruption gains a powerful long-term advantage. This talk explores architectural choices that allow core business logic to remain stable while the surrounding technology continues to evolve, leading to calmer upgrades, safer refactoring, and systems built for the long run. Change is inevitable. Pain doesn’t have to be. * **“Building on top of Symfony AI”** Christopher Hertel In this talk Christopher will explain and demo how you can build AI-powered features in your existing Symfony stack.

No slides. No speaker. No agenda. Just developers talking shop over a cold one. This is an informal gathering for engineers, founders, and builders who are deep in the agentic coding trenches — using tools like Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, OpenCode, or rolling their own agent pipelines. Come swap what's actually working, what blew up in production, and what you're excited about right now. We'll be at Barcelona, and the format is simple: show up, grab a drink, and share what you know. Bring a laptop if you want to show something, but it's not required. WhatsApp Group: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/GVS0bHMPIzID3Ch9lt6YsU?mode=gi_t](https://chat.whatsapp.com/GVS0bHMPIzID3Ch9lt6YsU?mode=gi_t) **What we talk about (but not limited to):** \*Agentic coding workflows and tooling * Prompt engineering & context engineering in practice \*Multi-agent architectures and orchestration * AI-native product building \*What's broken in the ecosystem and how you're working around it **Who should come:** Developers, technical founders, and AI engineers who build with (or on top of) LLMs. All levels welcome — senior devs with war stories and curious beginners both make the conversation better. **Format:** Open conversation, round-table style. Everyone teaches, everyone learns.

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD

Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat. But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity. We’ll cover: * What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot * How agents break tasks into steps * Where agents are genuinely useful today * Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review * How to design simple AI workflows for your own work * A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now. 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.
