Reporting

The Minority Report is a weekly stand-up comedy show about identity, culture, and the expat experience. Are you a minority in Europe? Did something weird, awkward, or low-key offensive happen to you this week? This is the space to vent your feelings about it. Every week, comedians Bryan Lee and Moe Singleton take the stage to unpack life as outsiders, offering their unique commentary on topics like race, masculinity, relationships, and life between cultures. Add weekly special guest comedians and “question time” with the audience, and you’ve got Berlin’s most unhinged comedy experience. 🎟️ Want to warm up before the show? Check out our comedy workshop – a beginner-friendly stand-up class with Bryan and Moe, hosted just before the show.

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. He has also worked on a platform supporting the browser extension, where his team’s main goal was to deliver an outstanding developer experience. 🔈 **Timo Fink** is a Software Engineer at Superhuman Platform Inc., where he works on the Grammarly for Windows application. Grammarly for Windows, now part of the Superhuman suite, is the trusted AI writing partner for turning scattered thoughts into aligned, impactful communication. Timo has started to focus his efforts on developer experience, ensuring work can happen as fluidly as possible by removing recurring blockers like flaky pipelines. 🔈**Darek Komosiński** is a Software Engineer at Superhuman Platform Inc., where he works on the Grammarly for Windows application as a tech lead. He focuses on improving the performance of our apps (from observability to fixing issues) to make sure we can offer maximum value to users with minimal system impact. **Who should attend**: * Software engineers who want to apply AI-based tools to common developer experience problems * Technical leaders who want to offer their teams a new perspective on how to approach these challenges **Agenda:** ✨ 18:00–18:30: Check-in and networking ✨ 18:30–19:45: Talks ✨ 19:45–20:45: Mingle with our team

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. Pictures and videos will be taken. ––– Das CityLAB Berlin ist Gastgeber der Veranstaltung und lädt zu seinen beeindruckenden Räumlichkeiten im früheren Abfertigungsterminal des Flughafens Tempelhof ein. Alle Vorträge werden in englischer Sprache gehalten. Fragen im anschließenden Diskussionsteil können sowohl auf Englisch als auch auf Deutsch gestellt werden. Es werden Video- und Fotoaufnahmen gemacht.

**👉 [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. Kristian will invite you to the exhibition on 28 March 2026. **20.15 Dinner and Drinks at Deutsche Bank Berlin Technology Center** **Registration** Via the AI Guild page on LinkedIn only.

**\>\> Please note that the event's location will be sent to you once you RSVP <<** Hey, I’m Annabelle, and I’m a recovering bulimic. I struggled with bulimia for 15 years, and I’ve always wished there was a space where I could talk about it openly, without judgment, without shame, just honesty, support, and people who *get it*. People who are also on this journey. People who want to heal and figure out who they are beyond bulimia. So, I decided to create that space. **What is this group about** * A space where you can talk about your **binge eating or bulimia** without feeling judged. * A space to reconnect with yourself — the *you* that exists beyond the eating disorder. * A space for support and real connection with people who are going through (or have been through) the same thing. * A place to share your wins *and* your hard days, and be met with encouragement and support. **What to expect** * Journaling prompts, discussions, games, readings from ED-related literature, meditations, and more. * Deeper conversations — not just about the ED, but about who you are underneath it all. **Who is this for?** * **This group is open to women who are struggling with binge eating or bulimia and *want to recover.*** **What this *isn't*** * This is not therapy. I’m not a therapist and won’t be giving advice on nutrition, exercise, or anything medical. * This is not a place to talk about numbers, weight, calories, or daily food habits. * This is not a place to give unsolicited advice. If someone asks for support, great — but advice will only be shared if it’s asked for. * This is *definitely* not a space that promotes or glorifies eating disorders. **A bit about me** I’m 33, I live in Berlin, and I have a very eclectic taste in music — but I always come back to Nightwish. When I’m not reading memoirs or self-help books, you’ll usually find me looking for a new café around the city or walking in the forest or a park. Some of my favorite podcasts include *The Rich Roll Podcast*, *How I Built This*, *We Can Do Hard Things*, and *The School of Greatness.* I’m a certified life coach, and I’m passionate about guiding people to unlock their own truth and remove the mental blocks that hold them back from pursuing their purpose. Right now, I’m writing a weekly blog called *Life Beyond Bulimia*, which you can find on my Substack. **Before you sign up** The location of this group will be revealed once you RSVP. While the space is kindly provided to us for free, we are asked to contribute 1€ per person per meeting (including myself). There's an online version of this group, to see the dates and register, visit [this link. ](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1820313028269?aff=oddtdtcreator) To make sure everyone is heard, the meetings will be limited to 10 people at a time. Can’t wait to meet you! Until then, know that you are stronger than you think. 🌹 Annabelle

This group is for everyone who is interested in drawing portraits! For me, drawing has been a wonderful way to gain a new perspective on the world and the people within it. Whether you are just starting out or have been drawing for ages — all levels are welcome :) How it works: 1\. We meet at The Castle pub in Mitte and do short sittings of 15 minutes for each other\. The first sitting is divided into 3 warm\-up sketches\, 5 minutes each\. 2\. Before we start\, everybody writes their name on a blank card \(provided by the organizer\); these cards are then used to randomly pick the model every 15 minutes\. 3\. Usually we do 8 sittings\, with a 15\-minute break in the middle \(so after 4 sittings\, or 1 hour\)\. -> The participation is free, but it is expected that everybody orders something from the bar to support the lovely location. Get out your pencils and let's start! Please bring your own art supplies!

A fun way to compare wines from two different countries at a time. House Wine is squaring off two countries' wines against each other each Thursday in March. March 12, March 19, March 26, and the Finals April 2nd. Meet and Greet format....show up after 7pm, pay your $15 at the cash register, get your wine glass, and enjoy. I will get a table reserved for the group. Remember, you may bring in your own food or takeout. Attendance is your agreement to the Group's Waiver of Liability terms. See our Group homepage for details. Parking is tough at House Wine; there is a municipal lot one-half block north of the shop and sometimes parking at the lot behind Jet Pizza, accessed by the lane between the east House Wine parking lot and the residence to the east.

**Complex Trauma Support Group** Our group is intended for survivors of complex trauma. If you are here, it’s likely that so much of who you are and what you have experienced in this life is actually invisible to most people––to family, society, coworkers, and the people who are around you. We are a peer-led group of survivors creating opportunities for ourselves and others to share our experiences, share support, and build relationships in kind community together. Survivor experiences might include: child sexual abuse, incest, child trafficking, and other experiences of people living with traumatic dissociation and complex PTSD. **What to expect at your first meeting:** Currently, we are offering a bi-monthly in person group at 2:00pm on the first and third Sunday of the month. The only criterion for joining the group is that you are a survivor of trauma wishing to have more kindness in your own life and share kindness with others, and that you agree to practice to group’s relational agreements available for view here: https://www.kindgroups.com/agreements. Joining the group is free of charge. We ask that new people connect with us for 30 minutes on the phone or on zoom before coming to their first group, so that we can determine together that we are a good fit. Our meetings last approximately 90 minutes. Participants are never required to share. You’re also welcome to choose a pseudonym and you will never be asked for private information. You are welcome to leave at any time. The kindness that survivors can share when among others who have survived similar childhood experiences is something we rarely get to experience. Time spent with others who understand even a little bit more about us is a relief. Our hope is to help ourselves and others experience that we are not alone. We wish for our efforts to be a cause of kindness in our own lives and the lives of each other. You can read more about the groups at www.kindgroups.com.
