Mattia Ferrini - Type Driven Development for human and AI reasoning
AI is changing the way we develop software. Mattia’s talk takes a fresh look at **Type-Driven Development** (TDD), and how types facilitate not only the work of human developers but also **LLM reasoning**.
The talk with be hands-on with code examples and open discussions
Agenda:
* What is Type-Driven Development
* An overview of F#’s type system
* How TDD facilitates human developers with AI tools
* LLM Tooling with types
* LLM reasoning with types
* Compositionality and reasoning traces
Mattia is a data scientist fighting a losing battle: replacing Python with languages featuring richer type systems. As the co-founder of Entropy42, a Zurich-based startup, he specializes in the verification of ontologies and mathematical optimization programs. There, Mattia leverages type systems and provers to sharpen the performance of specialized small language models.
Mattia will use F#, but his talk does not require any prior experience with the language.

An MLIR Pipeline for ComputeRAM: Enabling Compute-in-Memory IP
Hendrik Klug is joining us to give a talk on the work he has been doing at Synthara to enable their in-memory compute IP using an MLIR-based stack.
As usual there will be pizza, snacks, beer, and soft drinks after the event for participants, sponsored by Prof. Zhendong Su and the Advanced Software Technologies (AST) Lab at ETH Zurich.
**Abstract:** Licensing custom accelerators as IP to chip makers comes with all sorts of challenges for the compiler. In particular, compute-in-memory hardware moves computation into the memory hierarchy, which requires a different kind of scheduling than conventional compilation pipelines usually perform. Synthara's computeRAM is an in-memory compute IP that is integrated into a wide range of targets, from smartwatches to datacenter accelerators, and each chip maker brings their own toolchain. So computeRAM has to come with a compilation pipeline flexible enough to plug into whichever platform compiler the chip maker is developing, schedule the memory hierarchy and compute capabilities exposed by the hardware, and stay maintainable as the IP evolves. MLIR's dialect and transformation model lets us integrate into the customer's compilation pipeline rather than replace it, and the same pipeline can be retargeted as the integration surface changes from one chip maker to the next. In this talk we walk through the MLIR pipeline we have built around computeRAM at Synthara: the hardware and the platforms it integrates into, the lowering pipeline to both LLVM and EmitC, and the optimizations we do for computeRAM. Throughout, we share what we learned: the good, the bad and the ugly of what's available upstream.
**Location:** The event is taking place in the room G51 in the CAB building of ETH Zurich at the Zentrum campus. Enter from Universitätstrasse 6.

Angular Zurich June 2026
Hey Zürich, we are not slowing down! Angular Zürich is back with another evening of exciting talks exploring the future of Angular, modern developer experience, and where the framework is heading next. And for the first time ever, we’ll have three speakers sharing their insights, ideas, and real-world experiences with the community.
**Talks:**
*Even moar Angular skills for agentic development*
*by Tomas Trajan*
AI agents are quickly becoming part of the Angular development workflow - generating components, refactoring code, writing tests, and even orchestrating full features. But getting reliable results requires more than good prompts. In this talk, I’ll share the Angular patterns, architecture decisions, and tooling techniques that make agentic development actually productive at scale. You’ll see how strong typing, standalone APIs, signals, and clear project structure dramatically improve AI-generated code quality, and learn practical workflows for collaborating with coding agents without sacrificing maintainability or developer control.

*From Typos to Type Safety — Building a Typed Router for Angular*
*by Dominic Bachmann*
Route enums, path constant objects, flat route trees to avoid nesting complexity — Angular developers have invented all kinds of workarounds to bring some safety to navigation. But they all share the same problem: a second source of truth that you maintain by hand. In this talk, I'll share how I built angular-typed-router, a drop-in replacement that infers every valid path directly from your route configuration. You'll see the developer experience in action — full autocomplete, compile-time validation — and learn how interface augmentation, template literal types, and recursive conditionals make it work at zero runtime cost.
\-\-\-
*Angular 22: The Great Simplification*
*by Mateusz Halada*
Angular has spent the last few releases removing complexity piece by piece - and Angular 22 takes that vision even further. In this talk, we’ll explore how the framework is evolving toward a leaner, more intuitive developer experience with simpler APIs, stronger defaults, and less boilerplate across everyday application development. You’ll see what’s new, what’s been streamlined, and how modern Angular patterns around signals, control flow, routing, and reactivity fit together into a much more cohesive mental model. By the end, you’ll understand not just the new features, but the bigger direction Angular is heading in.
**Agenda**
* 18:00 - 18:15 – **Intro**
* 18:15 - 18:45 – **Tomas Trajan** \- Even moar Angular skills for agentic development
* 18:50 - 19:30 **Dominic Bachmann** \- From Typos to Type Safety \- Building a Typed Router for Angular
* 19:35 - 20:05 – **Mateusz Halada** \- Angular 22: The Great Simplification
* 20:05 - 21:00 – **Networking**

Zürich Poolside Chats : UX · Product · Research
### **Poolside Chats: Design, Research, Engineering & UX**
Join us for a relaxed summer gathering at one of Zurich’s local Badis.
This is a casual community meetup for designers, researchers developers, product managers, and other curious builders who enjoy thoughtful conversations, sharing ideas, and spending time outdoors.
We’ll gather by the pool to discuss topics such as:
* Passion projects
* Design, technology, and product thinking
* Ethical and responsible uses of AI
* Creativity, learning, and experimentation
* Personal philosophies and ways of working
* Interesting questions about the future
The format is intentionally informal. Feel free to join a conversation, listen, ask questions, or share something you’ve been exploring.
Need a break? Take a swim, cool off, and come back with a fresh perspective or a new idea to discuss.
This is not a recruiting event, job fair, or transactional networking meetup. While meaningful professional relationships may naturally develop over time, the purpose of the gathering is not to find clients, hire employees, or look for your next job. Instead, the goal is to create a welcoming space for genuine conversation, intellectual curiosity, and human connection.
Bring your curiosity, a towel, and whatever ideas have been occupying your mind lately.
\*Come to exchange ideas, not business cards.\*
Beachvolley for Beginners at Sportplatz Buchlern 🏐
Hello everyone,
Welcome to this new beach volleyball openplay at Zürich Buchlern 🤗
During this event, you’ll have the chance to meet new people, play friendly matches and learn the basic techniques, if you wish.
This event is aimed at everyone that has never played before or a long time ago and is not sure to be able to pass the ball properly over the net or to someone. If you think you're comfortable playing, I invite you to join the advanced events of Marius: [https://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-avsypajv/.](https://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-avsypajv/.)
**Tips:**
\- Bring a water bottle \(there's a drinking fountain next to the courts\)
\- Bring **sunglasses**, sunscreen and a cap
\- The courts can usually be watered\, except in rare cases \- so it's good to bring suitable socks if it's hot
**Practical details and participation conditions:**
\- A small contribution is required for court rental and other organisational expenses\, please pay before the event via TWINT at \+41784053495 by **writing your name and date of the event** or cash the day of the event.
\- For any inquiries\, please **only message me on Meetup**
\- Please only sign up through Meetup for an easier organisation
\- Please cancel at least 24 hours in advance if you can’t make it\, so others can sign up or I can reschedule the session

\- If it's raining\, the event will be cancelled as it's difficult to book 2 indoor beach courts\.
**Price per person:** CHF 5
**!No shows!**
Lately, there has been quite some no-shows. Therefore, I remind you to sign out 24 hours before the event if you're not sure to come. So that people in the waiting list can join instead. The court is not free, any no-show means wasted cost. In case of a no-show and no payment, I have no choice but to impeach you from signing up again by excluding you from the group 😣
ZurichJS Meetup: Beers, grills, and how to monetize
No slides, no schedule. We're meeting up for a relaxed ZurichJS summer meetup with drinks, barbecue, and people who build things.
If you’re shipping an AI tool, a vibe-coded side project, a SaaS product, or an existing app that could use a better business model, bring it along. We’ll hang out, compare notes, and brainstorm how to turn useful software into something that actually makes money.
Let's get the bbq going with beers and geeks.
Important: this is a potluck edition. Bring your preferred barbecue option (and maybe some extra to share if you want), some picnic blankets or picnic chairs, anything that you'd normally bring to a picnic. We're a big family at the end of the day 🫶

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
💡 About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required.
🛠️ What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
🍕 Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
