Continuous Integration

This time, it’s all about **Agentic Coding**! Whether you are a pure vibecoder building entire apps with natural language or a seasoned dev architecting autonomous agent loops, we want to hear your story. The session is designed to be accessible for newcomers, while still providing depth and practical value for people already working with AI tools. **🕒 Date:** May 19th, 18:00 📍 **Location:** Walls.io Vienna Office **How to get there:** Schönbrunner Strasse 213-215 (close to U4/U6 Längenfeldgasse). Follow the Meetup-Signs! Enter the inner yard through the gas-station, then go up to the 3rd floor! ([https://share.freshvanroot.com/LBYdlr3Z](https://share.freshvanroot.com/LBYdlr3Z)) **Agenda:** TBA **Confirmed Speakers:** **[Edouard Maleix](https://www.linkedin.com/in/edouard-maleix/) \- How AI\-First Dev Teams Build Collective Intelligence** Edouard has been watching teams accumulate agent rules, notes, and feedback controls that never quite add up to a real system. Agents repeat mistakes across sessions, guidance grows without being validated, and what gets built is instructions, not reusable knowledge. His talk is about closing that gap: giving agents their own identity, signed commits, and reasoning linked to every change. When something breaks, the agent captures it, links it to the fix, compares it with lessons from other agents and humans, and feeds what survives back into future work. The goal is making mistakes compound into collective intelligence instead of disappearing into chat history. *** **[Andrew Demczuk](https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-demczuk-4038a217/) \- Claws Across the Internet** Andrew is an OpenClaw contributor and AI battle arena builder who has spent his time figuring out what happens when you stop thinking about single agents and start connecting agents with agents. His talk is about AWA: Agents with Agents. When one agent can securely spawn and coordinate subagents across the internet, the force multiplier changes the game entirely. Andrew has stress-tested this in some of the more demanding environments imaginable: competitive AI battle arenas like CodeClash and BitGN, where agents don't just assist, they compete. The talk covers what agentic coordination actually looks like in practice, what secure subagent spawning requires, and what builders can take from the competitive AI space into their own workflows. *** **[David Wischnewski](https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-wischnewski/) \- Vibe Coding vs\. Agentic Engineering** David isn't a developer. He's a builder who uses AI to turn ideas into working tools, workflows, and products. That puts him in an interesting position to compare two distinct ways of working with AI: vibe coding, which is fast and chaotic, and agentic engineering, which starts to become reliable. In this talk, he shares what he's learned building with AI as a non-engineer: where coding agents genuinely help, where they break, and which habits separate a fun demo from something you can actually trust. *** **[Karim El Kaddioui](https://www.linkedin.com/in/karim-elkaddioui/) \- AI Agents in Knowledge Work** Karim is the FP&A Team Lead at Meister, and he's increasingly adding terminal-based AI agents into new and existing workflows. Using Codex, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork, he runs data analysis, builds decks, and manages his task tracker without touching most of the traditional tooling. This talk is a practitioner's view of agentic coding outside of software development: what it actually looks like when a finance professional runs agents in the terminal, where it works well, and what it takes to get there. *** **[Daniel Siegl](https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-siegl-b5903a24/) \- The Worktree Multiverse: Where AI Agents Build Software** Daniel Siegl is talking about infrastructure: specifically, the Git primitives that agentic development needs. Worktrees and Git notes have been around for years and mostly ignored. Agentic software engineering makes them essential. When autonomous agents work in parallel, managing state, history, and collaboration across sessions requires more than a single checkout and a commit message. This talk revisits these underused Git concepts and explains why they're suddenly at the center of orchestrating agents that build software. *** We’re excited to share that [SmartGit](http://clicks.meetup.com/ls/click?upn=u001.NY3oBFzZ5LJDG7YcnfSAKsNQOkaxabS6VuUPrlnpHzu8EAPOAc2-2FLyeGuorvSoWce0k5_ObpWV8nzFc9vT8vR4IfdMjR3-2BTWThn0qk33fQ5q-2F29EJaEeD0L-2FPDytPRQrB-2BsUDtKMeGzaIdwbp1FGmo9PE6l49ZAfxZLiwTQ6s9XbkH6uGC6wbt6-2FQCnYmAv3xTHdEc3XPhoZ-2FFXWDSJekk42IULJ-2FF1dAKsajRzahm-2ByuJNbvNnXlHG-2BKddt78zjTwDUCJdBWXmpvSt6VBHSKkXiZ-2BuDokbOEu1-2FP3smPBaMOgImWp0kO-2F3eildobgO6ZZCUNgBPSQ-2BA53lIskQE8Frk49nQGvQYyJW340Lb-2B949yK0O5TjB7rew08D8D4hhaBFwRgpu92uHAjuGR5tkUwhuajsTo6s97LhPUvYBmSmuon5uKncF73Dk1XMPVFbj7uuGbSChlcew2bRo7kmea1bfYMg5o-2BQWm1rzsnbrthIndgl0h2pPhCe9OMftpbr-2BWtOZYZfZiM2Rz1ThF9ttB6B7IUNHVrnBofXkzPZVFJ2tI-2FqkqTDyQuO3Gljd7CW7c1Cq8Hj3NOvEy4HVtxUoi3iCzrpWG-2Fm2p7oRPL0b6BlBI-2FoMX4kBoLoXPIU6WbWhY-2BgvrYNSsmcrqSxnSXUeY4RwFYdWiBhSfj5XUfmcaRR8YLwil8xH-2Bh0LXpulKdQlBMfXb7L32e1OagLarUjPXyj-2BAdDilcZ82siah8dJI9hfg6Xj2R7rhxsEMYuvJCKiWRYfocmxcuvZz2SyKPLThxkH-2Feg-3D-3D) has joined this edition of Vibecoding Vienna as a sponsor, alongside Walls.io and [Fresh van Root](http://clicks.meetup.com/ls/click?upn=u001.NY3oBFzZ5LJDG7YcnfSAKtyU3FvSAroXsYeII059Pq-2FwFUZdDRWR4xSsOgUJwveTzrO2_ObpWV8nzFc9vT8vR4IfdMjR3-2BTWThn0qk33fQ5q-2F29EJaEeD0L-2FPDytPRQrB-2BsUDtKMeGzaIdwbp1FGmo9PE6l49ZAfxZLiwTQ6s9XbkH6uGC6wbt6-2FQCnYmAv3xTHdEc3XPhoZ-2FFXWDSJekk42IULJ-2FF1dAKsajRzahm-2ByuJNbvNnXlHG-2BKddt78zjTwDUCJdBWXmpvSt6VBHSKkXiZ-2BuDokbOEu1-2FP3smPBaMOgImWp0kO-2F3eildobgO6ZZCUNgBPSQ-2BA53lIskQE8Frk49nQGvQYyJW340Lb-2B949yK0O5TjB7rew08D8D4hhaBFwRgpu92uHAjuGR5tkUwhuajsTo6s97LhPUvYBmSmuon5uKncF73Dk1XMPVFbj7uuGbSChlcew2bRo7kmea1bfYMg5o-2BQWm1rzsnbrthIndgl0h2pPhCe9OMftpbr-2BWtOZYZfZiM2Rz1ThF9ttB6B7IUNHVrnBofXkzPZVFJ2tI-2FqkqTDyQuO3Gljd7CW7c1Cq8Hj3NOvEy4HVtxUoi3iCzrpWG-2Fm2p7oRPL0b6BlBI-2FoMX4kBoLoXPIU6WbWhY-2BgvrUUsBkP0lI2pjjLQE1f844pTcm9yC4hHRLy89KKIj9IaVC9OAriE7cvq-2FU3qbtr6mDV-2Fw-2BaSnypyyvgqqKmQisDjktez0D-2BMcOh6GIiLvpGGyj7IMM-2BPiVVneDtzAJGa0NAdjzch-2FcZiwDt2tddQXUw-3D-3D)! **Want to speak at our next event?

This is a structured coworking session for people who want to follow through and get it done. 👉 **New here? You can join for just 2 hours to try it out.** 👉 Stay longer if you want to go deeper. To join, please register here (takes 1–2 minutes): [https://nocrastination.space/](https://nocrastination.space/) **We like a touch of mystery!** **The exact location will be sent to you by email 24 hours before the session. Please make sure to register in advance.** **Execution with Style. You start, but don't finish. We help you get it done.** Join our [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/K6LidaoQhe16wZ0Se9pNM6?mode=gi_t) Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nocrastinationclub/) You just haven’t been able to follow through. You start things, lose momentum and find yourself starting over again. You’re not alone. Most people get support at the beginning. And applause at the end. But the part that actually matters? The middle. The quiet, repetitive, sometimes frustrating part where nothing feels exciting, and everything depends on showing up. **That’s where we are.** At NoCrastination, we don’t meet for hype. We meet to **show up and finish something, together.** Not perfectly. Not magically. Just consistently. **Why “Style”?** Because sometimes, the hardest part isn’t the task. It’s who you believe you are when you sit down to do it. When you wear something different, something bold, unusual, or expressive: you step slightly outside your usual identity. And in that small shift… It becomes easier to start. Easier to act. Easier to follow through. **Execution with Style** Each session, you’re invited to wear something you normally wouldn’t: * the jacket that never leaves your closet * something colorful, dramatic, or expressive * something funny, strange, or unexpected * something you feel like you “can’t pull off” No pressure. But if you join in, be ready to share the story behind it. **Self-expression + execution = momentum** **What this really is** This is a space for people who: * keep starting but don’t finish * are building something (or figuring it out) * don’t want to do it alone anymore **What happens here** You bring something you’ve been avoiding. We sit down together. We focus. And you leave with something done. **Why people come back** * “I finally follow through on what I plan” * “I leave with real progress every time” * “This is the only place I actually stay consistent” **How long should I join?** You don’t need to commit to the full session. **Option 1: Try it (2 hours, 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM)** Perfect if it’s your first time or you want a light commitment **Option 2: Go deep (4 hours, 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM)** Stay for the full session and build real momentum **Time and location** 🕐 **Every Tuesday, 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM** 💻 **Bring:** your laptop, journal, or anything you’ve been avoiding ☕ Please do order something from the bar, so as to keep us in their good graces! **How it works** * **13:00–13:15 → Arrival + Soft intro + Set your task** * **13:15 - 14:45 → Deep focus session 1** * **14:45 - 15:00 → 15’ Break** * **15:00 - 16:30 → Deep focus session 2** * **16:45 onwards → Networking** * Quiet focus + optional social space * Drop in anytime, stay as long as you want Simple structure. Real progress. **First time joining?** Look for **Joanna Liu** near the ground floor bar 💛 We’ll get you settled. **This is for you if:** * You keep starting but don’t finish * You feel stuck working alone * You want structure — without pressure * You want to express yourself AND move forward **What you’ll get** Not motivation. Not a productivity hack. **You’ll get: ONE THING DONE.** And then you come back, and do it again. **This is how it starts** You don’t need to commit to anything big. Just come once. Pick one thing. Finish it. We’ll be there. As we’re growing and improving the experience, we’re moving to a more structured system. Registration is part of participating. **Stay connected** Join our [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/K6LidaoQhe16wZ0Se9pNM6?mode=gi_t) Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nocrastinationclub/) This is a space you can keep coming back to. **You’re not behind. You’re just in the middle.** And you don’t have to go through it alone. You are one of us.

Hi Deep Learners, We are happy to announce our next Vienna Deep Learning Meetup on **May 19** at Bosch. Our topics this time are: Improved Optimizers for Deep Learning and Automatic Speech Recognition in Air Traffic Management. \*\*\* **Agenda:** * 18:15 Arrival * 18:30 **Introduction** by the meetup organizers * **Welcome** by the host: Bosch * 18:45 **Talk 1:** **Momentum, Preconditioning, and Beyond: Practical Advances in Optimization** by Ionut-Vlad Modoranu (*ISTA*) * 19:30 **Announcements** * **Networking Break** * 20:00 **Talk 2:** **Cleared for Takeoff: Automatic Speech Recognition in Air Traffic Management** by Christian Sobtzick & Sahebeh Dadboud *(Frequentis)* * 20:45 **Networking** * \~21:30 **Wrap up & End** \*\*\* **Talk Details:** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Talk 1:** **Momentum, Preconditioning, and Beyond: Practical Advances in Optimization** Modern Deep Learning optimization is largely dominated by first-order methods such as Adam, yet their limitations in memory usage, scalability, and curvature awareness motivate the search for improved alternatives. This talk provides a practical perspective on optimization, starting from the roles of momentum and preconditioning and extending to recent advances that go beyond standard adaptive methods. We present techniques that improve optimization along three key axes: memory, structure, and computational efficiency. In particular, we introduce MicroAdam, a memory-efficient variant of Adam based on compressed optimizer states; Trion, a low-rank method that replaces costly SVD/QR projections with efficient, rank-independent alternatives; and DASH, a GPU-efficient implementation of Shampoo that accelerates second-order preconditioning via improved parallelization and fast matrix inverse root approximations. Together, these methods illustrate how careful algorithmic and systems-level design can overcome the practical limitations of existing optimizers, offering a path toward scalable, memory-efficient, and high-performance training beyond Adam. **About the speaker:** Ionut-Vlad Modoranu is a PhD student at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), specializing in efficient optimization for Deep Learning. His research focuses on reducing the memory usage and computational cost while maintaining the performance, including the development of practical optimizers for large-scale models, with publications at top tier international conferences. **Talk 2:** **Cleared for Takeoff: Automatic Speech Recognition in Air Traffic Management** Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) has made tremendous progress in recent years. However, its deployment in safety‑critical operational environments poses a fundamentally different set of challenges compared to demonstration systems or research prototypes. In this talk, we present how speech‑to‑text models are used in a real Air Traffic Management (ATM) product at Frequentis. We walk through the end‑to‑end lifecycle of an ASR system: how training data is collected and curated, how models are selected and evaluated, and what it takes to deploy and operate them reliably for customers in a regulated, safety‑critical domain. Beyond the models themselves, we discuss practical challenges from bringing ASR from research into production, where reliability and trust matter as much as accuracy. **About the Speakers:** Sahebeh (Saba) Dadboud is an Expert Data Scientist at the Frequentis AI Competence Centre. With over eight years of experience in the tech industry, she specializes in bridging Deep Learning, MLOps, and product development to build trustworthy AI for safety-critical systems. At Frequentis, she plays a pivotal role in driving company-wide AI initiatives, supporting the adoption of advanced technologies in domains where reliability, safety, and strict regulatory constraints are absolutely critical. She holds a Master’s degree in Computational Science from the University of Vienna. Christian Sobtzick is Audio Expert at Frequentis, leading the HET Audio Competence Centre. He is responsible for improving audio quality across all Frequentis voice communication products, drawing on more than 15 years of professional experience. In addition, he supports product development related to automatic speech recognition and contributes to research projects, such as the FFG “Next Generation Safety” project, which aimed to enable AI‑based automation in Air Traffic Management. His background is the field of acoustics, including electroacoustic transducers, acoustic measurements, and signal processing. He holds an MSc in Electrical Engineering and Audio Engineering from Graz University of Technology and the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz. We are looking forward to welcoming you at our next meetup. Your VDLM organizer team.

Claude MAX Plan 20x for 2 months 2. DJI Mini 4K Drone 3. Flipper Zero **First talk**: **"Making significant software architecture decisions"** by Bert Jan Schrijver (OpenValue) Software architecture represents the significant design decisions that shape a system, where significant is measured by the cost of change. At its core, architectural decision-making is about balancing trade-offs to align technical solutions with broader requirements. But how do you approach a trade-off analysis? How do you choose between different solutions, frameworks, tools, languages, or cloud providers? Which factors should guide your decisions beyond just technical fit? And how do you make sure you’re not overlooking non-technical aspects like team expertise, long-term supportability, and hiring feasibility? In this session, he’ll share a structured approach to making informed, high-impact architecture decisions. We’ll break down technical, organizational, financial and other trade-offs and explore how to evaluate and balance competing concerns. You’ll walk away with practical strategies to make better architectural decisions in real-world projects. **About Bert Jan** Bert Jan is CTO at OpenValue and focuses on Java, AI, software architecture, Continuous Delivery and DevOps. Bert Jan is a Java Champion, JavaOne Rock Star speaker, Duke's Choice Award winner and leads NLJUG, the Dutch Java User Group. He loves to share his experience by speaking at conferences, writing for the Dutch Java magazine and helping out Devoxx4Kids with teaching kids how to code. **Second talk**: **"Device Management the DevOps Way"** by Erik Auer and Dimitrij Klesev (Whizus) In today’s hybrid work environment, traditional device management is often manual and opaque. This talk presents a DevOps approach to MDM using Infrastructure as Code and automation for speed, transparency, and GDPR compliance. We’ll show how Terraform defines device configurations and policies as code, while GitHub Workflows automate the full lifecycle — from validation and testing through approval to deployment. Emphasis is placed on a solid approval process where changes are reviewed via Terraform plans, with apply triggered only after the full pipeline and approvals. Learn practical patterns to make device management faster, safer, and fully auditable — turning MDM into a reliable, governed platform capability. **About Dimitrij and Erik** Dimi is Tech Lead at WhizUs with several years of experience working in the Kubernetes ecosystem and the Cloud Native domain. Erik Auer has been managing WhizUs, a company specializing in cloud-native technologies, for many years. He regularly attends meetups and conferences to share his expertise with the community as a speaker. He has been working with Kubernetes and other cloud-native technologies since around 2016. ***OpenValue*** *GmbH in Vienna is part of OpenValue Group, a group of premium consulting companies specialized in providing flexible and high-quality ICT services in the fields of AI and Java software development and Software architecture.* ***WhizUs*** *lives DevOps!

At its core, architectural decision-making is about balancing trade-offs to align technical solutions with broader requirements. But how do you approach a trade-off analysis? How do you choose between different solutions, frameworks, tools, languages, or cloud providers? Which factors should guide your decisions beyond just technical fit? And how do you make sure you’re not overlooking non-technical aspects like team expertise, long-term supportability, and hiring feasibility? In this session, he’ll share a structured approach to making informed, high-impact architecture decisions. We’ll break down technical, organizational, financial and other trade-offs and explore how to evaluate and balance competing concerns. You’ll walk away with practical strategies to make better architectural decisions in real-world projects. **About Bert Jan** Bert Jan is CTO at OpenValue and focuses on Java, AI, software architecture, Continuous Delivery and DevOps. Bert Jan is a Java Champion, JavaOne Rock Star speaker, Duke's Choice Award winner and leads NLJUG, the Dutch Java User Group. He loves to share his experience by speaking at conferences, writing for the Dutch Java magazine and helping out Devoxx4Kids with teaching kids how to code. **Second talk**: **"Device Management the DevOps Way"** by Erik Auer and Dimitrij Klesev (Whizus) In today’s hybrid work environment, traditional device management is often manual and opaque. This talk presents a DevOps approach to MDM using Infrastructure as Code and automation for speed, transparency, and GDPR compliance. We’ll show how Terraform defines device configurations and policies as code, while GitHub Workflows automate the full lifecycle — from validation and testing through approval to deployment. Emphasis is placed on a solid approval process where changes are reviewed via Terraform plans, with apply triggered only after the full pipeline and approvals. Learn practical patterns to make device management faster, safer, and fully auditable — turning MDM into a reliable, governed platform capability. **About Dimitrij and Erik** Dimi is Tech Lead at WhizUs with several years of experience working in the Kubernetes ecosystem and the Cloud Native domain.

Feeling down? Sometimes depressed? Can't focus? Negativity & stress? Recent losses? Creativity in career and personal life hindered by mental blocks? Sometimes we never fully recover from traumatic experiences. Whether it was yesterday, last week or a year ago, traumatic experiences - a loss of a loved one, losing a job, a breakup - can leave you scarred. You talk about it and feel a little better, but it never goes away. After you hang up the phone, it's still there; the sadness, the cloud, the over-thinking, the worry, the guilt. You try to focus, but you're blocked. You try to look forward into new experiences, new relationships but a cloud is hanging over you, casting a shadow on what you once considered a bright, cheerful future. What happened to your courage? Your strength of character? You're 'why not' attitude? Whoever said 'time heals' must have had a special time machine, because after weeks, months, years, you're wondering - when exactly does that kick in? Sometimes it seems like drinking or drugs are the way to go. But they wear off, and now the problem is still there with added side effects from the drugs. At this free local Meetup event we will talk about: * What causes grief, anxiety and depression to become chronic. * Is it possible to regain your joy and happiness even after traumatic experiences? * How to break away from negativity and focus on the future * What are the steps to take to get control of your mind and your emotions? Learn about a safe, gentle, do-it-yourself counseling that can be done in the comfort of your own home. Let's explore safe, effective solutions for healing from traumatic experiences. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center.
