Join us on **March 25** to learn how the **Superhuman Engineering team is building a CI/CD system that learns, adapts, and gets faster over time**. ✅ **To attend the event**, please **register** **on Luma**: https://luma.com/loqydsym Please note that **only guests with a confirmed Luma registration will be admitted**. Due to limited capacity, we won’t be able to accommodate attendees who haven't registered. Most teams treat their CI/CD pipeline as infrastructure that “just works”—until it doesn’t. Three Superhuman engineers share how they combined AI-driven automation, test-strategy overhauls, and infrastructure migration to build a pipeline that not only runs but also continuously improves itself. 🚀 [Dushan Terzikj](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dushanterzikj/) will share concrete examples of how the Grammarly Inkwell team reduced CI pipeline flakiness and duration—from parallelizing unit tests and migrating to Storybook, to switching from dedicated macOS runners to on-demand Kubernetes runners. Attendees will walk away with practical, actionable techniques to make their own pipelines faster and more reliable. 🚀 [Timo Fink](https://www.linkedin.com/in/fink-timo/) will explain how Superhuman incorporated AI agents into their CI pipelines to develop a Self-Healing system. You will learn how we leverage Claude Code to automatically audit the reliability of our test suite and proactively suggest and prepare improvements for human review. 🚀 Darek Komosinski will show how his team exposes structured performance trace data to AI to automatically detect issues and surface actionable fixes. You will learn how combining rule-based analyzers with an AI summarization layer turns thousands of raw traces into a concise, prioritized report without manual triage. **About the speakers**: 🔈 **Dushan Terzikj** is a Software Engineer at Superhuman Platform Inc., where he works on the Superhuman browser extension—formerly the Grammarly browser extension—which serves more than 40 million monthly active users.

A welfare state takes responsibility for its people and supports them when in need. When costs are rising, but budgets aren’t, government needs to find efficiency gains to maintain social protection levels. A government-commissioned report recently recommended ways to modernise social and welfare services, making them more people-friendly and less bureaucratic. Meanwhile, small and large projects are underway to make benefits services more fair and easier to navigate, and to make the state overall more equitable. At our March meetup, we will hear about what a modern, digitally transformed welfare state looks like. We will welcome the following speakers: * Florian Theissing, Agora Digitale Transformation * Björn Mohr, Technologiestiftung Berlin * Anja Mayr & Jakob Häußermann, DigitalService des Bundes CityLAB Berlin hosts the event in their stunning 1920s space, a former airport building. All presentations will be given in English. Questions in the later discussion part can be raised either in English or German.

Herzlich Willkommen zum WordPress Meetup Berlin! Auch im Jahr 2026 treffen wir uns weiterhin am letzten Mittwoch des Monats. Wir versuchen, abwechselnd Themen für Anwender\*innen und Developers behandeln. **Programm** 19:00 \| Einlass 19:15 \| Thema: Diskussionsrunde zu KI Im April letzen Jahres hatten wir uns zuletzt über unseren Umgang mit künstlicher Intelligenz ausgetauscht. Auch dieses Mal wollen wir wieder darüber diskutieren, wie wir in unserer Arbeit und unseren Projekten einsetzen. Wo sind die Vorteile, aber wo liegen auch die Grenzen? 20:15 \| "Flohmarkt" Jede\*r kann kurz ein Gesuch oder Angebot in wenigen Sätzen pitchen. Bitte achtet darauf, dass es nicht zu kommerziell wird. 20:30 \| Happiness Bar\, freies Networking & Gespräche\. Bei Fragen oder Problemen mit WordPress könnt ihr uns gerne ansprechen und wir helfen euch mit eurem Problem. Das nennen wir "Happiness Bar". **Teilnahme** Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos. Essen und Getränke können wir leider nicht bereitstellen. Es gibt einen Snack/Getränke-Automaten und einen Kaffee-Automaten in der Bibliothek. Ihr könnt euch auch gerne etwas mitbringen und im Meeting-Raum essen. In der Umgebung gibt es einige Bäckereien, Spätis und Imbisse. Wichtig ist nur, dass wir den Raum wieder sauber hinterlassen. Falls ihr euch angemeldet habt und es doch nicht schaffen solltet, meldet euch bitte ab, damit wir einen Überblick über die Teilnehmerzahl behalten. **Barrierefreiheit** Die Location ist barrierefrei für Rollstühle. Falls ihr Unterstützung bei der Teilnahme oder Anforderungen an die Barrierefreiheit habt, schreibt uns gerne eine Nachricht. **Code of Conduct** Als WordPress Meetup verpflichten wir uns den Code of Conduct (sprich: unsere "Verhaltensregeln") einzuhalten:[ https://wpmeetup-berlin.de/regeln/](https://wpmeetup-berlin.de/regeln/) **Weitere Details und Infos** WPMeetup-Berlin Website: [https://wpmeetup-berlin.de/](https://wpmeetup-berlin.de/) Facebook-Gruppe "WordPress Berlin Brandenburg": [https://www.facebook.com/groups/331013360390412/](https://www.facebook.com/groups/331013360390412/) Twitter Account @wp_berlin: [https://twitter.com/wp_berlin](https://twitter.com/wp_berlin) #WPBerlin **Location & Raumsponsor** Ein großer Dank geht an die Bezirksbibliothek Pablo Neruda, dass sie uns den Raum zur Verfügung stellen.

**👉 [Register here](https://www.linkedin.com/events/7429279114164850688?viewAsMember=true) 👈** Together with the AI Guild, we’re excited to reunite with the **[AI Guild Dinner](https://www.theguild.ai/)** at our **[Deutsche Bank Berlin Technology Centre](https://careers.db.com/explore-the-bank/careers-in-technology/berlin.techcentre/)**! **Agenda:** **18.30 Doors Open for Networking & Refreshments** Arrive at Deutsche Bank Berlin Technology Center, Otto-Suhr-Allee 16, 10585 Berlin. How to get there: Travel via the Bahnhof Zoo and Ernst-Reuter-Platz - use the subway U2 or the Bus M45. Welcome and Introduction to the Berlin AI Guild Dinner by **[Chris Armbruster](https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisarmbruster/)**, MD at [AI Guild](https://theguild.ai/). **19.00 Technical Debt when Vibe Coding** **[Dishu Bagga](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dishu-bagga-632236163/)**, Software Engineering, Deutsche Bank. AI assistants, scaffolding tools, and templates let us ship software faster than ever. You prompt, paste, and move on. Most of the time, it works. But while everything appears smooth, technical debt quietly accumulates. Modern tools optimize for speed—not architecture. Layers blur, boundaries erode, and structural decisions get locked in long before anyone notices. In this talk, we’ll use real examples and live coding to show how AI-accelerated development can produce clean-looking code but fragile systems. Small shortcuts compound. Complexity hides in plain sight. The goal is not to criticize AI tooling—but to remind us: Generated code still carries architectural consequences. Speed is easy. Sustainable systems require intent. **19.30 Agentic AI in a Global Corporate: The first iteration** **[Dijle Kara](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dijlekara/)**, AI Hub Product Manager at Henkel What happens when autonomous AI agents meet the complexity of a global enterprise? From legacy systems to governance and scale, the first deployments reveal both promise and friction. What actually works in production? Where do agents fail? And how do organizations adapt when software begins to act autonomously? **20.00 Announcement of the Berlin Exhibition Pix2GenAI** **[Dr. Kristian Rother](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristian-rother/)**, Python Developer, Data Scientist, and Trainer Code meets art. *Pix2GenAI* showcases computer-generated artworks created with algorithms, mathematics, and AI models—exploring the space between handcrafted code and generative intelligence.

Developed through a collaboration between the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG), HTML5 provides a robust system of elements (tags) that tell a browser how to display text, images, and multimedia in a clear and meaningful way. It works in concert with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for presentation and JavaScript for interactivity, forming the core technology stack for virtually all websites and many web applications today. One of the significant advancements of HTML5 is the introduction of powerful new features and elements designed to improve functionality and simplify development. Key additions include native multimedia support via the \ and \ tags, allowing developers to embed media without third-party plugins. It also offers new form controls for better user input, such as date and email types, and introduces web storage capabilities to store data offline for enhanced performance. These features streamline the process of building rich, interactive web experiences. A significant focus of HTML5 is enhanced semantics and better structural organization of content. New semantic elements like , , , , and \ provide meaningful structure to documents, which aids in search engine optimization (SEO) and improves accessibility for assistive technologies. These elements define different parts of a webpage (e.g., a header for the top, a nav for navigation links, a footer for the bottom), making the code more readable and understandable for both developers and machines. This emphasis on clear structure helps in creating more logical and maintainable websites. Developing websites in today's competitive environment requires taking advantage of every technique you can to get the maximum exposure possible. Our HTML5 class will not only show you what's new in the HTML specification, but also the best way to develop optimized web pages that get the attention your client and/or company requires. **The breakdown of the four-class series is as follows:** **Class 1: Introduction to Web Structure and Basic HTML5** This class introduces the core concepts of web development, the history of HTML, and the fundamental structure of an HTML5 document. * **Topics**: * **Web Architecture Overview**: How browsers, servers, and web pages interact. * **HTML Fundamentals**: Understanding elements, tags, and attributes. * **Basic Document Structure**: Using !DOCTYPE html, html, head, and body. * **Text Formatting**: Headings (h1 to h6), paragraphs (p), and text-level semantics (e.g., strong, em, br). * **Lists and Links**: Creating ordered (ol) and unordered (ul) lists, and linking between pages using anchor tags (a). * **Activity**: Students create a basic personal webpage containing text, a list of hobbies, and a link to an external website. **Class 2: Semantic HTML5 and Multimedia Integration** Class 2 focuses on modern HTML5 elements that provide meaning (semantics) to content, improving accessibility and search engine optimization. It also covers adding images and multimedia. * **Topics**: * **Semantic Elements**: Understanding and implementing elements like header, footer, nav, section, and article. * **Images**: Adding images using the img tag and attributes like src, alt, width, and height. * **Multimedia**: Embedding audio and video content using the audio and video tags. * **File and Folder Structure**: Best practices for organizing project files and managing file paths. * **Activity**: Students refactor their Class 1 project to use a proper semantic layout and add an image and a link to a video file. **Class 3: Forms and User Input** This session is dedicated to building interactive HTML5 forms, which are essential for capturing user data and input. * **Topics**: * **Form Basics**: Using the form element, action and method attributes. * **Input Types**: Exploring various input types (e.g., text, password, checkbox, radio, date, submit). * **Form Elements**: Utilizing label, textarea, select, option, and button. * **Client-side Validation**: Implementing HTML5 validation attributes like required, minlength, and pattern. * **Activity**: Students build a complete contact form with different input fields, radio buttons, and basic HTML5 validation. **Class 4: Introduction to CSS3 and Basic Styling** The final class introduces Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to style the HTML content and make the web pages visually appealing and accessible. * **Topics**: * **CSS Fundamentals**: The role of CSS, selectors, properties, and values. * **Integrating CSS**: Using inline, internal, and external style sheets. * **The Box Model**: Understanding margin, padding, border, and content for basic layout. * **Basic Styling**: Changing colors, fonts, and text alignment. * **Accessibility Basics**: Identifying principles of web design usability and accessibility, including ARIA labels. * **Activity**: Students apply an external CSS file to their Class 3 form project to style the layout, colors, and fonts, culminating in a well-structured and styled webpage.
