Agentic Software Modernization: Back to the Roots
Agentic Software Modernization: Back to the Roots
**Softwaremodernisierung auf Knopfdruck** ist im Zeitalter von AI Agents der Traum vieler ITler. Ja, ein Agent kann heute schon eine Legacy Codebase über Nacht komplett neu strukturieren. Aber wer übernimmt ab dem nächsten Morgen die **Verantwortung** dafür? In diesem Vortrag zeigt Markus, wo **agentische Ansätze in der Modernisierung von Softwaresystemen** großen Nutzen stiften, aber auch, was ihnen für den nachhaltigen Erfolg fehlt: Techniken, welche AI Agents an die Leine nehmen. Dazu greifen wir auf bewährte Klassiker der **Legacy-Code-Modernisierung** zurück, welche **agentische Workflows** mehr verantwortbar machen wie etwa Seams zur Begrenzung des „Agent Blast Radius“, Golden Master Testing zum Absichern des aktuellen Verhaltens und Fitness Functions zum messbaren Nachweis von Qualitätsverbesserungen. Dadurch liefern AI Agents weiterhin ein hohes Tempo, doch sie bleiben dank unserer Leitplanken auf der Spur. Denn am Ende zählt nicht, wie viel sich im Code bewegt, sondern ob das Legacy System wirklich vorankommt. Markus Harrer ([https://markusharrer.de](https://markusharrer.de)) ist Software Evolutionist bei INNOQ und hilft, Softwarearchitekturen strategisch und wirtschaftlich sinnvoll weiterzuentwickeln. Sein derzeitiger Schwerpunkt liegt auf der verantwortungsvollen Modernisierung von Legacy-Systemen, wo er datengetriebene Software Analytics mit generativen AI-Tools kombiniert. Er ist akkreditierter Trainer bei socreatory für iSAQB Foundation Level und Advanced-Level-Modul IMPROVE. Er ist Autor der Bücher „Strategische Spielzüge" und „Qualitätstaktiken" sowie Mitautor von „Software Reviews". Zudem organisiert er das Software Architecture Meetup Nürnberg.
Franklin Method and Myofascial Training
Franklin Method and Myofascial Training
Be-weekly lessons with experienced practitioner Ingrid Wenger. We want to consciously experience movement together and give our bodies the attention they need. Everyone participates according to their abilities – together, yet each at their own pace. We work with balls, bands, music, but above all with our imagination and lots of fun. The training is based on the Franklin Method and Karin Gurtner's Slings Myofascial Training. The goal is to increase your physical well-being and open up a new connection to your body. It's wonderful to discover that you already possess many tools within yourself to enhance your quality of life. Simple and without much effort.

Writers' Workshop
Writers' Workshop
Join us at Museum Strauhof for an opportunity to enjoy, discuss and learn from excellent writing. We'll have a private room at Zurich's literature museum, less than a 10 minute walk from Zurich HB. There will be three reading and discussion slots and an opportunity to meet other writers. A few notes for prospective writers: 1. You aren’t required to share your own work and should feel encouraged to attend simply to enjoy and discuss the work of others, if you prefer. 2. All genres, formats, and styles of creative writing welcome, noting that the focus will be on discussing English-language fiction (or creative non-fiction). Poetry is likely to be better suited to the marvellous Zürich Poetry Club. 3. All abilities are welcome, from those just starting out to those who have already made progress in their writing, from hobbyists to professionals. 4. There will be three reading slots for each session, allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. Please indicate in the comments for the event if you would like to share something. 5. If you would like to share your writing with the group, you can do so either by reading aloud or allowing group members to read directly. You can expect to read for 5-7 minutes (approximately 600-1000 words) with 15-20 minutes provided for discussion afterwards. 6. If possible, please bring sufficient copies of any writing that you would like to present, so that everyone can read it themselves. You can also request written feedback. 7. Improving as a writer requires both guidance and encouragement, so you can expect the discussion to be constructive and courteous - we all know how challenging it can be. We hope that you will be able to join, and look forward to seeing you there!

Stoicism and Awareness: Lessons from Seneca and Anthony de Mello
Stoicism and Awareness: Lessons from Seneca and Anthony de Mello
Why do we suffer in a given moment? Is it because we are attached to something? Can we observe suffering without trying to change or judge it? These are the kinds of questions Seneca would ask in his timeless teachings. Through his letters and essays, he urged readers to examine their lives with honesty, discipline, and a commitment to inner freedom. Further, because Stoic ideas often feel logical yet hard to internalize, we will explore together how awareness—drawing on the work of spiritual teacher and author Anthony de Mello—can help bridge that gap. We look forward to seeing you at the event! **Preparation:** We recommend reading this [Article about the book Awareness by A. De Mello](https://becomeconscious.substack.com/p/lessons-from-awareness-by-anthony). **For Philosophical Minds Zurich theme events in general:** At our theme events, we begin with a brief topic introduction, followed by engaging discussions in small groups. It’s all about conversation, not just listening. Also, please note, we keep the atmosphere relaxed and informal—**there’s** **no pressure to speak in front of anyone**. **Important:** When you register for the event, please commit to it and don't be a NO SHOW. Presumably, when the ancient philosophers decided to go to an event, they kept to it.
 We look forward to seeing you. **Payment:** You can pay at the venue (Twint/Revolut/Cash). Thus, if you want to register at Meetup just click attend - no more needed ;). We look forward to seeing you.

Free In-Person Meeting: Get Over Losses & Betrayals, Build Lasting Relationships
Free In-Person Meeting: Get Over Losses & Betrayals, Build Lasting Relationships
This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
