**¡Querid@s [#ProductPeople](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=productpeople&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7176297775532302336)!**
En mayo, el Mes del Producto, nos volvemos a reunir junto a Agile Chile con una edición distinta.
Porque hoy, construir productos cambió.
Con inteligencia artificial, pasar de una idea a un prototipo puede tomar minutos.
Y por eso, este encuentro no será solo para hablar de producto…
👉 será para construir.
Tendremos una experiencia práctica, colaborativa y en vivo, donde veremos cómo distintas personas están creando productos hoy y luego lo haremos juntos en la misma instancia.
📢 ¿Cómo será la dinámica?
🔹 Icebreaker
Partiremos conectando entre todos para romper el hielo y conocernos.
🔹 Show Time (Pitch)
Invitamos a 5 referentes en construcción de productos para compartir en 4 minutos:
• Qué están construyendo
• Qué herramientas están usando
• Por qué tomaron esas decisiones
🔹 De speakers a facilitadores
Después de cada pitch, los invitados pasarán a un nuevo rol:
Ayudar a otros a construir.
🔹 Manos a la obra
Formaremos equipos y cada grupo contará con un facilitador para:
• Aterrizar ideas
• Elegir herramientas
• Avanzar rápido y de forma simple
💡 Ven con tu idea.
Y si aún no la tienes clara, no importa: la comunidad te ayudará a darle forma.
Este será un espacio para aprender haciendo, conectar con otras personas y experimentar cómo se construyen productos hoy.

FinOps + AWS:Como optimizar costos en la nube sin frenar la innovación
Optimizar costos en la nube no tiene por qué significar ponerle el freno de mano a la innovación. A veces, el miedo a la factura mensual nos impide experimentar con nuevas arquitecturas, pero la clave está en la eficiencia, no en el recorte ciego.
Este **30 de mayo** estaré en el **AWS Community Day Chile** compartiendo mi charla:
**"Cómo optimizar costos sin frenar la innovación"**.
Hablaremos de estrategias reales para que tu infraestructura sea un motor de crecimiento y no un centro de costos estático.
¡Nos vemos en Santiago para aprender, conectar y elevar la vara de la nube en la región! 🚀

Feel Good Friday: POWER BALLAD at the Gateway Film Center + SHAKE NO. 8!
Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor.
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!”

Their menu features an array of traditional, specialty and vegan shakes, hot cocoa, and more! You can check out their full menu here: [https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php](https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php)

Ensuring Software Quality in the world of AI Developers - Matt Eland

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**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.
