🌸 Maternidad sin culpa: reconectando con vos misma
🌸 Maternidad sin culpa: reconectando con vos misma
Ser mamá puede ser profundamente amoroso… y también agotador, abrumador y solitario a veces. Muchas mujeres sienten que, mientras cuidan de todos, van perdiendo espacio para sí mismas, cargan con exigencias internas, culpa o la sensación de no estar llegando a todo. Este encuentro es un espacio pensado para que puedas frenar un momento, salir del modo “hacer” y conectar con lo que te está pasando emocionalmente en tu experiencia como madre. A través de una dinámica guiada y vivencial, exploraremos cómo la maternidad impacta en la identidad, las emociones y los vínculos, en un ambiente cuidado, respetuoso y sin juicios. Está dirigido a madres que sienten que necesitan un espacio propio para escucharse, comprenderse y sentirse acompañadas. ⚠️ Este encuentro es una experiencia de reflexión y autoconocimiento y no reemplaza un proceso terapéutico individual. Cupos limitados para preservar la intimidad del espacio. Grupo reducido ⏰ 1 h Presencial Aporte: 10

Transforming scientific literature into discovery
Transforming scientific literature into discovery
At InnoIT Consulting, we are delighted to invite you to our upcoming meetup, organized in collaboration with Sony AI, on **Wednesday, February 25th.** ️*Transforming scientific literature into discovery at Sony AI* The speaker will be **[Miquel Ferrer](https://www.linkedin.com/in/miquel-ferrer-5a97651/)** (ML/AI Engineer at Sony AI). **SUMMARY** In this talk we will gain insight into how **AI can act as a bridge across domains**, transforming the overwhelming scale of modern research into a **proactive engine for discovery**. In an era where **thousands of papers are published daily**, even the most specialized experts struggle to stay afloat. However, the sheer volume of global research represents more than a management challenge—it is a **massive, untapped resource for discovery**. In this session, we will explore how **AI can transform the vast body of scientific literature** into an **interconnected system of concepts and entities**. Moving beyond simple search and efficiency, we discuss how modeling the **evolution of knowledge** enables us to uncover **“scientifically plausible links”**—**hidden connections across domains**, such as **biology and medicine**, that are supported by data but **have not yet been articulated in print**. By leveraging AI to **bridge these silos**, we can move from **managing what is known** to **predicting the next frontier of scientific breakthroughs**. **This event is for you if you’re in:** AI/ML, Data & Analytics, NLP/LLMs, Knowledge Graphs/Ontologies, Search/IR, MLOps, or Data Engineering and want to turn research into actionable discovery.

We have some amazing speakers, and pizza and beer will be available after the event. ────────── **18:30: Welcome** Grab a beer, a snack, and a seat until everybody arrives! **18:45 Intro by Host Neciu Dan and Giorgio Polvara from Perk** **19:00 The 2600€ Mistake: How we saved 90% on Cloud Costs by breaking the SSR Myth** Speaker: [Danilo Velasquez](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAAXUQZYBfPgAdfwWiNG72HHc5rtHIS9pAWY), Staff Web Platform Engineer and Consultant When our Astro/React migration reached 8,000 RPS, 100 pods couldn't prevent the crash loops. Discover how mastering Node.js internals—Cluster API, file descriptors, and strict timeouts—slashed our bill from 2,850€ to 250€ while handling 1.6B monthly views. A war story about why "frontend-only" thinking fails on the server. **19:25 400 Tech Leads. Same problems. None of them technical.** Speaker: [Anemari Fiser](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAAsj0FIBwsd5kRTr2_wWLQKe-vFNZDCtNlE)\, O’Reilly Author \| Engineering Leader After training and coaching more than 400 tech leads across companies and industries, one pattern keeps repeating: when tech leads struggle, it’s rarely a technical gap. In this talk, Anemari Fiser shares the most common challenges tech leads bring into coaching sessions - overload, unclear expectations, ownership confusion - and assumed alignment, and why “getting better technically” almost never fixes them. Drawing from real coaching and training examples, the talk explores where tech leads get stuck, what they think the problem is, and the small but meaningful shifts that help them move forward. **19:50: Drinks and networking!** Do you want to talk at this meetup?

Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit - Barret Blake
Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit - Barret Blake
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** *Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit: From Intent to Implementation* Spec-driven development flips the traditional workflow on its head: instead of code being the source of truth, the specification becomes the backbone of design, collaboration, and delivery. In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA
