Machine Intelligence

We're back for 2026, and looking forward to seeing you at our February event, where you can learn more about Android and meet fellow mobile devs in person! As usual, we’ll have two great talks to set the tone of the evening, both from returning speakers at our meetup, exploring build configuration testing and code generation. **📜 Schedule:** 18:00 - 18:30: Gathering and socializing 18:30 - 19:05: First talk 19:05 - 19:30: Break 19:30 - 20:05: Second talk 20:05 - : More socializing! — **🔷 Gradle Testing: Unlocking TestKit for Developers - Tom Koptel** Testing custom Gradle plugins is a critical step in ensuring their reliability, especially when developing for Android projects. This talk will focus on leveraging the Gradle TestKit framework to set up robust testing environments for custom plugins. Attendees will learn how to configure their projects effectively, enabling seamless plugin testing and integration. Key topics include: * Project Setup for Plugin Testing: Laying the groundwork for a Gradle plugin project with proper dependencies and configurations tailored for Android development. * Using Gradle TestKit: A deep dive into functional testing with TestKit, including creating isolated test environments using GradleRunner and managing temporary directories for test builds. * Testing Against Multiple Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) Versions: Techniques to ensure compatibility across AGP versions by dynamically injecting dependencies during tests. * Advanced Testing Tools and Techniques: Exploring tools like Jacoco for code coverage metrics and live debugging of code under test. **🔷 Compile-time code generation with Kotlin Symbol Processing - Lajos Nyéki** In this talk, we will explore the advantages of compile-time code generation and how it can streamline development workflows by reducing boilerplate, improving performance and catching errors early. We’ll dive into Kotlin Symbol Processing (KSP), highlighting its modern approach compared to the older Kotlin Annotation Processing Tool (KAPT), and discuss why KSP is becoming the preferred choice for many Kotlin developers. To ground these concepts, we’ll walk through a real-world case study demonstrating how compile-time code generation with KSP can be applied to solve practical problems. — 🏢🍴 Thanks to [EPAM](https://careers.epam.hu/) for hosting us in their office, and keeping us fed and hydrated throughout the event! 🚪 **Doors open at 18:00** and the first talk starts at 18:30! 🗓️ The event is free but requires registration, so **please RSVP** here and don’t forget to update your response if it changes! 📸 We plan to take photos, so if you would not like to appear on them, please tell one of the organizers! 🎤 We are always looking for new presenters, so if you have an idea for a talk, please reach out to us at [meetup@androidbudapest.com](http://meetup@androidbudapest.com/) or submit at [https://androidbudapest.com/talkidea](https://androidbudapest.com/talkidea)!

Join us for an evening dedicated to the evolving landscape of software engineering. As our tools become more powerful, our focus shifts from simply writing syntax to building architecture and stronger teams. We’ll explore two distinct sides of this evolution: the human side, where **peer and mob programming** foster trust and shared ownership, and the technical side, where **AI agents** allow us to "print code" and one-shot complex features. Whether you are looking to improve "team quality" or manage the "review bottleneck" of AI-driven development, this meetup offers practical insights for every engineer. This English-language event will be held at the **Formlabs Budapest office**, where we'll provide snacks and drinks to fuel conversations. Arrival is from 17:30, Announcements and agenda at 17:55, first presentations will start at 18:00. \-\-\- **Peer Programming to increase "Team Quality"** **with [Nico Riedmann](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nico-riedmann/)** Most engineers are familiar with pair programming. Your team may already encourage it to foster learning or as an alternative to ensuring code quality via pull-request reviews. This talk will show you the impact that collaboratively creating code has on "team quality" rather than just "code quality" - creating opportunities to build trust, increase shared ownership, and define and better understand a shared vision. And if you weren’t convinced before, we’ll end with a few practical tips on getting started with pair and mob-programming. **One-Shotting Features: The Reality of Agentic Workflows** **With [János Molnár](https://www.linkedin.com/in/j%C3%A1nos-moln%C3%A1r-9b582896/)** This talk explores our journey from using AI as a glorified auto-complete to one-shotting complex features. I’ll discuss our team’s evolution from using AI for basic code generation to adopting agentic workflows that shift our focus toward planning and architecture. We’ll explore the benefits of this high-level approach alongside the "review bottleneck" that occurs when AI velocity outpaces human auditing, and how we adapted our processes while releasing and building our Greenhouse project. \-\-\- Come learn and connect with other tech enthusiasts. See you there! You can also find the recordings of previous events on the [@DevBPMeetup YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@DevBPMeetup).

Projects that are over budget, delayed, or that fail to scale past the POC phase are very common. In many of these scenarios, choosing the right approach can be as critical as the solution itself. Should you build a tailored machine learning model, leverage the power of large language models (LLMs), or integrate with AI copilots? Each option has unique strengths, trade-offs, and resource requirements, and the key to success lies in aligning your choice with your business goals and technical constraints. In this talk, we will go beyond the basic concepts and definitions to provide a practical guide that allows attendees to navigate these decisions through real-world case studies. We will examine scenarios in which different AI paradigms were chosen, discuss the factors that influenced those decisions, and outline the process for evaluating needs, constraints, and outcomes. From assessing data availability and team expertise to balancing cost and scalability, you'll gain insights into the critical considerations that guide the selection process. By the end of this session, you’ll have a clear process for determining whether machine learning, LLMs, or copilots are best suited to your AI challenges and understand the resources and strategies needed to bring your chosen solution to life. This talk is ideal for decision-makers, technical leads, and innovators seeking to demystify AI implementation and maximize the impact of their investments.

**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.

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
