Building on the success of the previous events, the **DevBP** series is back for the **14th time** with two great talks. **AI doesn’t fix weak foundations, it exposes them**. Messy data, unclear definitions, and buried business logic quickly become blockers. This time, we’ll **explore the foundations we need to strengthen** to build truly AI-ready systems. This English-language event will be held at the **Colossyan 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. \-\-\- **AI Exposed Our Data Gaps — Lessons from a CDP Migration on Building a Governed, AI-Ready Platform** with **[Szabolcs Magyar - Colossyan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/szabolcs-magyar/)** During our CDP migration, we realized that AI doesn’t fix data problems - it exposes them. Unclear definitions, weak ownership, and undocumented assumptions quickly become blockers when AI systems start querying your analytics layer. In this talk, I’ll share how we used dbt and stronger data governance to turn our analytics stack into a more reliable, AI-ready platform. I’ll walk through the key architectural decisions, trade-offs, and lessons learned while modernising a production system. **Digital Archaeology: Recovering Lost Business Logic in Legacy Systems** with **[András Lendvay - Inivate](https://www.linkedin.com/in/andraslendvay/)** Effective AI integration and organizational performance both fail without structured institutional knowledge. In modern organizations, this knowledge is often buried within undocumented legacy code as “hidden” logic and critical business rules. This session explores the methodology of digital archaeology: reverse-engineering systems to extract the “why” behind the “how,” ensuring that both human teams and AI agents have the foundational data governance and definitions required to function. \-\-\- 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).

**This week's venue: Beer People \| Lázár utca 7\, Budapest 1065** We hold a bi-weekly workshop to encourage creative writing where we share pieces of creative writing and solicit feedback from the other attendees. Some members also use the forum to find others with whom to collaborate, edit work, and/or brainstorm plot, themes, settings, and so forth. And from time to time, we participate in competitions, recite and/or offer material for events organized by other groups. At the moment there is no prompt for this particular meetup. Instead, writers are invited to submit something they have (or are working on) or to craft a short story specifically for the event. Of course, there's no pressure to submit something. Many participants are interested in hearing ideas, questioning the authors, and examining style and technique. Often, we explore other published works as well. The submission guidelines are as follows: 1. limit the piece to 850 words (to give enough time for any other submissions being read at the event); 2. make the text available (though you can read it aloud) for the other attendees. Many authors bring a few printed copies, others post their work in the comments of the meetup; 3. have a question in mind for the group about the submission; and, 4. If offering something from a longer work, be prepared to give a little bit of background first.

The language of this workshop is Hungarian. A program a **Budapest Accessibility Meetup**, a **UX Budapest** és az **Appy** közös szervezésű eseménye. **Hány kattintás kell ahhoz, hogy egy teljesen működő felület használhatatlanná váljon?** Néha egy is elég, ha közben elfogy a mentális kapacitásod. Sok digitális termék úgy készül, mintha minden felhasználó figyelme egyformán működne, korlátlan lenne, és a döntések nem igényelnének valódi mentális erőfeszítést. A valóságban az emberi idegrendszernek megvannak a sajátosságai, saját ritmusai, határai és terhelhetősége. Amikor ezt nem vesszük figyelembe, a használhatóság sérül. A következő meetupunkon a **kognitív akadálymentesség** és a **neurodiverzitás** kerül fókuszba, és az, hogy ezek hogyan írják át a tervezési alapfeltevéseinket. A kognitív akadálymentesség hiánya sokak számára ugyanúgy blokkoló lehet, mint más, jobban ismert akadálymentességi hiányosságok. Ez nem csak azokra igaz, akik születésüktől fogva érintettek. **Vannak tartós állapotok mint például a neurodivergencia, de vannak szituációs és életkori tényezők is, ami miatt gyakorlatilag mindenki érintetté válik. Pl:** • amikor egy hosszú munkanap után próbálsz egy bonyolult űrlapot kitölteni • amikor egy zajos buszon intéznél el egy fontos ügyet mobilon • amikor alváshiány vagy stressz miatt nehezebben hozol döntéseket. A globális folyamatok mentén pedig • **egyre több idős felhasználóval tervezünk**, akiknél a feldolgozási sebesség, a memória vagy a figyelmi kapacitás változik • **a fiatalabb generációk** másfajta kognitív mintázatokkal használják a digitális termékeket, gyorsabb váltások, fragmentált figyelem, folyamatos ingeráramlás mellett. Ideje ezeket kivétel, “edge case” helyett valós használati helyzetekként kezelni. **Időpont:** 2026\. április 1\.\, szerda\, 16:00 **Helyszín:** Appy iroda (1061 Budapest, Nyugati tér 1. 6. em.) **Meghívott szakértők:** * **Reed Zsuzsa** \- tapasztalati szakértő\, egyetemi tanár\, a Kisvilág Alapítvány vezetője * **dr. Velegi Dorottya** \- CPACC\, jogász **Facilitátorok:** * **Daniss-Bodó Eszter -** neuroinkluzív tervező (Blue) * **Nagy Árpád -** lead ux designer, akadálymentességi szakértő (OTP) * **Klein Péter -** design strategist & leadership advisor (Blue) * **Szántai Károly -** tanúsított web akadálymentességi szakértő, szakoktató **Program:** **Előadás-beszélgetés:** Közösen felfedezzük, mi történik a felszín alatt: • **Kognitív teher**: mennyi mentális erőforrást kérünk el egy adott pillanatban • **Végrehajtó funkciók**: döntés, priorizálás, váltás, és ezek töréspontjai • **Szenzoros feldolgozás**: hogyan válik zajjá az, ami designként indult • **Túltelítődés (overload)**: amikor az inger- és információmennyiség meghaladja a feldolgozási kapacitást • **Mentális energia térkép**: miért nem “ugyanaz a user” reggel és este Konkrét példákon keresztül nézzük meg, hogyan lesz egy jól ismert design patternből akadály, és hogyan lehet visszafordítani. **Workshop:** amikor a probléma kézzelfoghatóvá válik • feltérképezitek egy user journey mentális terhelési pontjait • azonosítjátok, hol csúszik át egy flow túl komplexbe vagy túl zajosba • újraterveztek kritikus interakciókat neuroinkluzív szempontok mentén A cél, hogy **észrevegyük, hol terheljük feleslegesen, és mikor veszítjük el a felhasználókat, és mit tehetünk másképp.** Miért érdemes eljönni? Mert a felhasználók állapota és képességei folyamatosan változnak, élethelyzettől, környezettől és életkortól függően. Ha erre nem tervezünk, akkor valójában véletlenre bízzuk, hogy ki tudja használni a termékünket. **Gyere el, és nézzünk rá együtt arra, hogy a termékeink mennyire működnek akkor, amikor igazán számít.** **RSVP** Kérjük, használd az RSVP-t! Ha bármilyen okból nem tudsz eljönni, kérjük, frissítsd foglalásodat, hogy más számára felszabaduljon a hely. **A helyszín akadálymentessége:** A helyszín akadálymentes. Lift és akadálymentes mosdó található az épületben. Segítőkutyádat természetesen szeretettel várjuk. **Fotózás** Készíts te is fotókat, és töltsd fel ide az eseményhez. Örökítsük meg együtt eseményeinket. **Van Meetup ötleted?** Folyamatosan szeretnénk javítani eseményeinket a te hozzájárulásoddal is. Ha van egy téma a fejedben, vagy ha szeretnéd, hogy a céged szponzoráljon egy eseményt, esetleg segítenél a szervezésben, jelezd nekünk.

Practice Buddhist meditation in the middle of Budapest! The meditation is suitable for beginners. Each regular meditation is guided and begins with a short introduction. (all together is about 30-40 minutes) Our regular Buddhist meditations have proven popular with people who want to integrate authentic Buddhist methods into their daily lives. For the modern lay person who is juggling work, relationships, and an active role in society, we teach a meditation that is easy to learn, and profound and powerful for experienced practitioners. The meditation originates from the Karma Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. It has a cumulative effect on mind, leading to greater clarity and calmness. Fearlessness, joy, and active compassion are the result of regular practice of Buddhist meditation. * Do I need any special clothing? No special clothing needed. * Does the attendance cost anything? No, the meditation is free.

This month's meetup is about the **[Titans](https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.00663) neural network architecture** published by Google Research: The goal of the architecture is to: * scale transformer-based sequence models for tasks requiring very long context * enable test-time memorization This allows models to maintain long-term memory effectively while running—without the need for dedicated offline retraining. We'll discuss the Titans architecture, with a focus on its implementation of the long-term memory module: * how neural networks can act as memory vs. classical fixed-size recurrent states * how this type of long-term memory compares to traditional RNNs, and why it enables models to learn new context on the fly We will also take a look at the **[MIRAS framework](https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.13173)**, which provides a higher-level abstraction for designing sequence models. The key idea of MIRAS is that sequence model architectures—from transformers to linear RNNs—can be viewed as complex associative memories under the hood. We'll see how Titans fits into this framework of neural network design, and why the authors state that Titans and MIRAS can: **"combine the speed of RNNs with the accuracy of transformers."** *** **Follow-up from the last event** HOPE, the reference architecture for Nested Learning, is built on a modified version of the Titans architecture. At our last event, we didn’t have time to discuss many important details about how HOPE is built. So, the March meetup will also act as a follow-up for anyone who missed some of the underlying architectural details last time. === ENTRY DETAILS === \- QR code with entry information will be available soon\, in the "Photos" section of this event page\. \- Gate closes at 18:15 \- no late entries\.

Beyond Simple Solutions: Cynefin, Antifragility, and the Art of Learning in Uncertain Environments With [Gábor Erényi.](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gaborerenyi/) In a complex world problems don’t behave the way we expect them to—and trying to manage them with simple or complicated methods often makes things worse. During this meetup, we’ll explore the Cynefin framework and how it helps you to understand different types of situations and respond accordingly. We’ll look at what truly complex environments require, how learning and adaptation emerge from uncertainty, and how ideas from antifragility can help us not just survive volatility but ride on its waves. Expect a mindset shift that you can apply the next day.

Join us as we get together for an Arthouse Movie Friday event to see the A24 dark comedy /romance / psychological-thriller, THE DRAMA! The film stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as a happily engaged couple whose relationship is challenged when one discovers unsettling truths about the other. Here are details, a trailer and our plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: The film follows a happily engaged couple whose relationship is put to the test when an unexpected turn sends their wedding week off the rails. The film comes from A24, is written/directed by Kristoffer Borgli stars Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Mamoudou Athie, Alana Haim, Hailey Gates and Zoë Winters. QUICK WORD OF WARNING: The film hasn’t screened for critics yet and most of the details are being kept tightly under wraps. But, early buzz (possibly promotional) says the film is a brilliant psychological thriller/romance but also provocative, twisty and some contains occasional uncomfortable viewing! I love the cast and trailer, so look forward to seeing for ourselves! ZENDAYA-PATTINSON TRIFECTA CHALLENGE: Robert Pattinson and Zendaya will star in THREE movies together this year, including THE DRAMA, Christopher Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY this Summer and Denis Villeneuve’s DUNE: PART THREE at Christmas! TRAILER: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zmKcUa4Xxk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zmKcUa4Xxk) PLAN: We’ll plan for 7pm-ish showing and will meet in the lobby area about 30 minutes before showtime! Advance ticket purchase not required for this theater but early arrival is advised. Possibly post-movie get-together at the nearby Rusty Bucket! Complete details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer. Take care and look forward to seeing you there, Dan

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

Pay attention! We’re delaying a week for those of you who may be on Spring break and/or celebrating the holiday. Ok, no pancakes, but waffles-a-plenty. Join the local UX and Digital Design community for a casual monthly breakfast. Look for us upstairs!
