Quan will share how a high-stakes system (thousands of daily reservations across 50 hotels in Finland and Estonia) broke free from release anxiety through a testing strategy that made deployments genuinely boring. Results included sustaining 10%+ conversion rate and 4.3+/5 team happiness scores. Attendees will walk away with: the three signs a team isn't ready for Continuous Deployment, the key actions to move from "QA signs off" to “Built-in Quality”, and a battle-tested roadmap they can try out next week Monday. **Pablo's presentation** **Title:** “Doing Things Right the First Time” is the fastest and cheapest way to create Software. **Abstract:** Software projects have a tendency to be late, sometimes so late that the biggest competitor have delivered a better version before you have. Some software projects never deliver or has problems until the weekend before release when it is “saved” by one or two developers. This presentation will walk through the most common reason why projects are late and what to do to avoid it. **Warmly welcoming you all,** **Brgds FTMG organizers;** [Nina](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ninaperta/), [Szilard](https://www.linkedin.com/in/szellszilard/), [Jani ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jani-gronman/)and [Mikko](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikko-paloheimo/)

Welcome to our May meetup in Helsinki, arranged together with Antilooppi (https://antilooppi.fi/). Schedule: 17:00 Doors open! 17:30 Welcome words by organizers and Antilooppi 17:40 **The Spec-Driven Revolution: Building the 20X Development Engine** **By Dr Jukka Ala-Mutka, Founder of Managentics** Traditional SaaS is hitting a wall. As job security and project timelines face constant pressure, the "Artisan Coding" model is being replaced by AI-native pipelines. In this session, Jukka also shares how Managentics is operationalising "Spec-Driven Development" to achieve results that were previously impossible. In this deep dive, we will explore: * ⁠The Specification Factory: How Managentics transforms raw business intent into high-fidelity agent specifications. This is the "Intent-to-Specs" phase, where business logic is refined into structured blueprints before a single line of code is written. * The Industrial Assembly Line for Software: How we treat platform development not as a manual craft, but as a process-driven assembly line. We apply industrial management principles to digital creation, ensuring every feature follows a repeatable, high-velocity path from the factory to production. * The Power of SDD and TDD: Moving the source of truth from ephemeral syntax to structured business logic (Spec-Driven Development) and rigorous automated validation (Test-Driven Development). In this engine, specifications are the blueprints, and tests are the quality gates. * The 20X Development Engine: How this automated approach achieved 20x efficiency, delivering 200,000 lines of production-grade code in just 3 months. If you’re interested in moving beyond simple prompting to building industrial-scale autonomous capabilities through process-driven management, this talk is for you. About the Speaker: Jukka Ala-Mutka is a Dr Sc. & BSc in Construction Management with over 20 years of experience in strategy and technology. As the founder of Managentics, he is pioneering the "Intent-to-Specs" pipeline, helping organisations transition from human-centric tools to autonomous agent swarms. \*5 min break\* 18:15 **"Building Viral Apps People Love" by Jarno Silander, Founder of Kinoon.fi and Head of Growth at Droppe.** The world is full of digital experiences that fail people. Previously you just had to put up with it, but not anymore thanks to AI. In this session, Jarno shares practical advice on finding your next project and building experiences worth sharing, using the viral cinema platform Kinoon.fi as a working example. In this session, we’ll dive into: * ⁠**The Kinoon.fi story**: how virality generated the first 20k users and put Kinoon on track for €800k+ in annual partner sales. * **Finding your next project**: UX arbitrage and using pain as a compass. * **Building shareworthy experiences**: UX frameworks, mental models, and tips that turn users into your distribution channel. * ⁠**When taste ends and science begins**: measuring what matters and running experiments to surface unintuitive wins. * **How to just do things**: getting out of your own way. About the speaker: Jarno Silander is a curious startup founder-operator with 7 years of experience helping startups find product-market-fit and scale to their next growth stage. \*5 min break\* 18:50 TBA 19:30 Mingling / free discussion etc 20:00 Doors close **About us** Vibe Coding Finland is a community for developers, designers, business professionals and tech enthusiasts who love to vibe code, learn, and connect in a relaxed and inspiring atmosphere. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting your coding journey, you’ll find good company, meaningful discussions, and hands-on sessions to boost your skills and creativity. Our meetups feature a mix of talks, coding sessions, project showcases, and networking — all centered around building great vibes and a supportive tech community in Finland.

**Explore sounds of belonging, for you and for others in a three-days’ workshop** **When**: 18th, 19th & 20th of May **Time:** 13.30-18.30 **Where:** Sibelius Academy Töölönlahdenkatu 16 C, 2nd floor The workshop "Bajo un mismo sol" is bilateral and happens simultaneously with participants in Medellín. All together we will train careful listening to places, make and share recordings of places we feel belonging to, and create collective sound maps in the mobile app MSWalks on Kansalaistori, in front of Oodi library, and on the square of Medellín Modern Art Museum. On these sound maps that activate when we walk across the squares with our phones' speakers, we will also improvise with small custom-designed solar-powered electroacoustic instruments. Participating does not require any background in music, but an interest in sound, for encountering new people and sharing ideas related to identity and memories. A careful listening attitude is central to the activities, as well as an interest for sharing and conversing within respect of differences. This workshop is related to a research and the registered participants will receive detailed information prior to decide on consenting to participate to the research. The activities will be documented for research purposes and there are various options for being or not included in the documentation. You may participate to the whole workshop or select the times that suit the best to your schedules. **After registering you will anyway be contacted and given more information, but you may as well ask information prior to registration by email at marianne.decoster-taivalkoski@uniarts.fi.** About the facilitator: Marianne Decoster-Taivalkoski (IG: marianne.d_t ) is a media and sound artist with French origins and based in Helsinki since 1993. She works in music and technology program at the Sibelius Academy of the University of the Arts Helsinki as a lecturer and an artist- researcher.

### Create a self-portrait with psychological archetypes to build a more confident self.

Do you find yourself overthinking your worth or feeling like you have to hide certain parts of your personality to be accepted? The Integrated Self is a beginner-friendly vision board and collage workshop designed for anyone ready to rebuild their self-image with kindness, clarity, and depth. Unlike traditional vision boards that only focus on external goals, this session focuses on internal integration. Using psychological archetypes, we will create a visual portrait that honours both your radiant strengths and your "shadow" traits, helping you move from insecurity toward a grounded, unified sense of self. Join us! ### **The Creative Journey** * Archetype Discovery: Identify the universal "inner characters" shaping your life, from the resilient Protector and the Wise Guide to the curious Explorer. * Mindful Planning: Use guided prompts to move past the "inner critic" and visualise a version of yourself that feels real and empowered. * Vision Boarding: Using a curated selection of images, textures, and symbols, you will assemble a visual map of your inner landscape. * Empowered Integration: Learn to see your "shadow" traits not as flaws, but as untapped sources of energy and self-knowledge. ### **Who Is This For?** * This workshop is a sanctuary for **any woman** looking to deepen their emotional awareness through a calm, supportive, and creative outlet. * Struggles with persistent overthinking or self-doubt. * Wants to boost their inner confidence through a tactile, creative process. * Is looking for a "Vision Board" experience with more psychological and reflective depth. * Desires a supportive, non-judgmental environment to explore their identity. * This workshop is in English, therefore communicating and understanding English is necessary for participation. ### **Location** The location is called **Lapinlahden Lähde** and is situated within the historic Lapinlahti hospital area near Hietaniemi. You can find us at **Lapinlahdenpolku 8**, specifically in the **Tallipääty** (Stable Wing) section of the building.

Can you reshape your reality with just a marker in your hand? Welcome to NeuroTree, an immersive workshop grounded in the intersection of psychology, neuroscience, and creative research. Using the Neurographic method, we move beyond traditional art to engage in a unique dialogue with the subconscious mind. The "NeuroTree" is one of the most powerful algorithms in this practice. It is a visual metaphor for your life, allowing you to use your past experiences as the "roots" that fuel your future achievements and "branches" of potential. Neurographics is a meditative drawing process that uses specialized lines and shapes to help "rewire" your emotional response to challenges Join us! ### **The Journey** * Identify Your Roots: Transform your previous experiences and lessons into a solid foundation for growth. * Cultivate Your Potential: Use the NeuroTree algorithm to visualise and manifest new goals, habits, and achievements. * Harmonise Your Mind: Learn the "rounding" technique to smooth out internal conflicts and create a sense of psychological flow. * Shape Your Reality: Discover how intentional drawing can shift your perspective and unlock new pathways in your life. ### **Who Is This For?** This workshop is open to everyone. **No art skills or previous drawing experience are required.** If you are looking for a creative, science-backed way to manage overthinking, boost your confidence, or simply explore your potential, you are in the right place. This workshop is in English, therefore communicating and understanding English is necessary for participation. ### **Location** The location is called **Lapinlahden Lähde** and is situated within the historic Lapinlahti hospital area near Hietaniemi. You can find us at **Lapinlahdenpolku 8**, specifically in the **Tallipääty** (Stable Wing) section of the building. The space is easily accessible by walking or cycling through the park, and once you arrive at the Mitti office entrance, there are clear paths leading to our designated area.

This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.
