Architect in the Age of AI
Architect in the Age of AI
**Live stream and very limited on-site seats available.** **Please use the registration page to join:** **[REGISTRATION PAGE](https://content.software-leader.com/juval-talk-june-2026)** **Topic: Architect in the Age of AI** **In short:** AI code generation presents businesses with a critical challenge: how to benefit from AI code generation, while containing the cost of AI. By default, AI generates very complex code that is not reusable, and it lacks design integrity. The cost of ownership of this code could exceed by multiples the cost of human-generated code. Instead of gains, developers experience strains trying to understand what the AI has generated. Companies now transition from AI euphoria to AI spaghetti. Throttling back token spending does not address the underlying complexity. In this dense session Juval explains what AI is doing wrong, and what businesses are doing wrong trying to leverage AI. Juval will then discuss the crucial role of the architect in unleashing the productivity gains of AI, using the best practices of software engineering. You will see how to future-proof your career, how to avoid being a casualty of AI, and how to be indispensable to your business, saving it from out of-control AI spending and complexity. Juval Löwy is the founder of IDesign and a master software architect. Over the past 20 years, Juval has led the industry with some of his ideas such as microservices – serving as the foundation of software design and development. Juval has mentored thousands of architects across the globe, sharing his insights, techniques, and breakthroughs, and has helped hundreds of companies meet their commitments. Juval participated in the Microsoft internal strategic design reviews and is a frequent speaker at major international software development conferences. He is the author of several bestsellers, his latest book being Righting Software. **Host:** This free lecture is hosted by [Software Leader](https://www.software-leader.com). We help architects to become better technical leaders. **Live stream and very limited on-site seats available.** **Please use the registration page to join:** **[REGISTRATION PAGE](https://content.software-leader.com/juval-talk-june-2026)** Seats are limited. Therefore, kindly let us know in advance if you cannot make it. We look forward to seeing you at the free lecture.

RO:SEC - KI-Agenten & Code im Security-Check: Zwischen Hype, Hack und SAIF 2.0
RO:SEC - KI-Agenten & Code im Security-Check: Zwischen Hype, Hack und SAIF 2.0
Am 24.06.26 steigt unser nächstes Codineers Rosenheim Meetup vor Ort in unserem Büro in Rosenheim oder Remote via Zoom. Meeting Link: [https://qaware-de.zoom.us/j/88063201327?pwd=1CYwSe7eGIBM3FJWygby1oixvzXUwg.1](https://qaware-de.zoom.us/j/88063201327?pwd=1CYwSe7eGIBM3FJWygby1oixvzXUwg.1) Meeting-ID: 880 6320 1327 Kenncode: tW8JTFtiSF **\#\# KI\-Agenten & Code im Security\-Check: Zwischen Hype\, Hack und SAIF 2\.0** Vom nützlichen Entwickler-Tool bis zum autonomen System: KI-Agenten übernehmen immer mehr Kontrolle. Sie generieren Pull Requests, führen eigenständig Code aus und handeln im Namen der User, oft komplett ohne menschliche Aufsicht. Doch wo endet der Hype und wo beginnen die echten Risiken? Was taugen die integrierten Sicherheitsfeatures aktueller Modelle, wenn sie auf die Realität der Softwareentwicklung treffen? Und wie groß ist der "Blastradius", wenn Agenten durch präparierte E-Mails manipuliert werden? Dieses Meetup liefert dir einen fundierten Security-Deep-Dive. Wir analysieren reale Vorfälle, prüfen die aktuellsten Anthropic-Modelle auf Herz und Nieren und stellen dir konkrete Design-Prinzipien (SAIF 2.0) vor, mit denen du deine KI-Systeme absicherst bevor sie live gehen. **\*\*\* Agenda \*\*\*** 17:30 Uhr \| Doors open\. Schnapp' dir Snacks & Getränke\. 17:45 Uhr \| Welcome & Intro 18:00 Uhr \| Zwischen Hype und Realität: Anthropic\-Modelle und "Project Glasswing" im Security\-Check \- Stefan Feuerstein 18:45 Uhr \| SAIF 2\.0 – Sicherheitsstrategien für die Ära autonomer KI\-Agenten \- Alexander Eimer 19:30 Uhr \| GetTogether **\*\*\* Unsere Vorträge \*\*\*** **Zwischen Hype und Realität: Anthropic-Modelle und "Project Glasswing" im Security-Check** In diesem Vortrag werfen wir einen kritischen Blick auf die aktuelle Leistungsfähigkeit der neuesten Anthropic-Modelle und schauen unter die Haube von Entwicklertools wie der Claude CLI. Im Zentrum steht dabei die Perspektive der IT-Security: wie sicher ist AI-Code? Was bringen die mitgelieferten "Sicherheitsfeatures"? Zudem wollen wir natürlich auch wissen, ob Mythos uns zeitnah unseren Job wegnimmt: Deswegen ziehen wir ein Fazit nach zwei Monaten Project Glasswing. Was ist Fakt, was Fiktion? **SAIF 2.0 – Sicherheitsstrategien für die Ära autonomer KI-Agenten** KI-Agenten sind längst im Produktiveinsatz: Sie generieren Millionen von Pull Requests, lösen Support-Tickets und verwalten die interne Unternehmenskommunikation. Sie sind keine bloßen Chatbots. Sie verfügen über Zugriffsrechte, führen eigenständig Code aus und handeln im Namen der User – komplett ohne menschliche Aufsicht. Doch diese Autonomie vergrößert den potenziellen Blastradius enorm. Die Beispiele aus der Praxis sprechen für sich: Eine einzige präparierte E-Mail verwandelte Microsoft 365 Copilot in ein Werkzeug zum Datendiebstahl. Ein simpler einzeiliger Prompt brachte den Chatbot eines Autohauses dazu, einem 1-Dollar-Verkauf zuzustimmen – vor den Augen von Millionen. Das sind keine kuriosen Einzelfälle, sondern das Resultat von Produkten, die ohne das nötige Sicherheitsfundament entwickelt wurden. Googles Secure AI Framework 2.0 (SAIF) ist die Antwort aus der Praxis. Es identifiziert 15 spezifische Risiken, ordnet sie den Komponenten eines KI-Systems zu und liefert konkrete Sicherheitsmaßnahmen. SAIF 2.0 erweitert diesen Rahmen gezielt für agentische Systeme: Es zeigt auf, wo sie versagen, warum die Risiken hier höher liegen und wie wir die Architektur grundlegend neu denken müssen. Dieser Vortrag analysiert die SAIF-Architektur anhand realer Vorfälle und schließt mit fünf entscheidenden Design-Prinzipien ab, die den Blastradius Ihrer Agenten minimieren, bevor sie live gehen. Wir sind Partner der [ROSIK](https://www.rosik.com/).

Software Crafters: «Collaborative Modelling & Strategic Domain-Driven Design»
Software Crafters: «Collaborative Modelling & Strategic Domain-Driven Design»
An der OST Rapperswil, Zimmer 1.262, [siehe hier](https://geometalab.gitlab.io/campus-maps-with-openstreetmap/ifs-campus-map/?search=way/902580361) (Öffentlicher Anlass) **Worum geht’s?** Wir treffen uns regelmässig als Community of Practice rund um **Software Crafting** – sauberes Design, TDD, Pairing, CI/CD, Observability, Security by Design, kontinuierliches Lernen, Erfahrungsautausch und diverses mehr. Dieses Treffen ist hands-on und praxisnah, ideal für Einsteigerinnen und Profis. **Fokus dieses Mal** Collaborative Modelling & Strategic Domain-Driven Design Bei der Entwicklung komplexer Softwaresysteme ist das fachliche Wissen meist über viele Personen verteilt: Domänenexperten, Product Owner, Entwickler, UX, Betrieb oder Management betrachten dieselbe Realität oft aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven. Ohne ein gemeinsames Verständnis der Domäne entstehen leicht Missverständnisse, Anforderungen werden nicht für alle Beteiligten zufriedenstellend umgesetzt oder es entsteht unnötige Komplexität. Collaborative Modelling (CoMo) umfasst eine Reihe Workshop-basierter Techniken, mit denen Teams Domänen gemeinsam erkunden und modellieren können. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei Kommunikation, gemeinsames Lernen und die Entwicklung einer gemeinsamen Sprache (Ubiquitous Language). In diesem Workshop nutzen wir Event Storming, um anhand eines Beispielszenarios fachliche Abläufe, Ereignisse, Regeln und Verantwortlichkeiten sichtbar zu machen. Darauf aufbauend lernen wir das DDD-Konzept der "Bounded Contexts" kennen und identifizieren mögliche Kontextgrenzen im Beispielszenario. Anschliessend betrachten wir weitere strategische Patterns des Domain-Driven Design (DDD) und diskutieren, wie sie bei der Gestaltung fachlicher und organisatorischer Grenzen helfen. Der Fokus liegt nicht auf formalen Notationen oder Dokumentation, sondern auf dem gemeinsamen Verständnis einer Domäne als Grundlage für Architektur- und Designentscheidungen; insbesondere für die Zerlegung komplexer Systeme in Komponenten, Module oder (Micro-)Services. 👉 **Themenliste & Voting:** [Themenliste](https://github.com/Software-Crafters-Meetup/Software-Crafters/blob/main/themenliste.md) Trage dein Thema ein und vote mit. **Ablauf** Wir werden Pizza bestellen. **Mitbringen** \- Laptop **Code of Conduct** Wir pflegen einen respektvollen Umgang, teilen Wissen offen und geben konstruktives Feedback. Kein Gatekeeping, kein Verkaufs-Pitch. **Fragen?** Melde dich via Issue/Discussion oder per Mail an *mail@marcokuoni.ch* Wir freuen uns auf dich – und auf deine Themenideen!

Swiss PSUG 06/2026
Swiss PSUG 06/2026
Dear Microsoft Swiss PSUG, We have planned another exciting event. **Place & Language:** Place: Isolutions AG, The Circle 38, 8058 Zürich (Hybrid with Teams) Language: EN **Session 1: PowerShell Notebooks in Practice: Real‑World Use Cases** Description: PowerShell Notebooks can significantly enhance how we build and operate tools. This session showcases practical, real‑world scenarios—including onboarding and offboarding workflows, pipeline integration, diagnostic data collection, and development against both on‑prem and cloud services. With plenty of demos, you’ll see how notebooks can improve productivity and clarity across the entire lifecycle. Speaker: [MVP David Sass](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sassdawe/ "https://www.linkedin.com/in/sassdawe/") **Session 2: Updating isn’t the hard part — Knowing What changed Is** Description: PowerShell modules evolve constantly — features change, bugs are fixed, and behavior shifts. While updating a module is easy, understanding the impact of updates is not. Outdated modules risk lost functionality, while rushed updates can introduce subtle breaking changes. In this demo-focused session, we explore a practical approach to tracking meaningful module changes without notification overload. Using the PackageUpdateInfo module, we show how to detect and report relevant differences between versions. Speaker: [David Bellstedt](https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreasbellstedt/ "https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreasbellstedt/") **Agenda:** 17:00 Welcome 17:30 Session 1 18:15 Session 2 19:00 Networking and Beer 20:00 End of Event
Python für Einsteiger mit Weltraumvideos
Python für Einsteiger mit Weltraumvideos
🚀 **Vom Code zum Kosmos: Programmieren lernen mit Python** Programmieren wirkt oft kompliziert. Doch die Grundlagen lassen sich einfacher verstehen, wenn man die Auswirkungen des eigenen Codes direkt sehen kann. In diesem Workshop erhalten Sie einen verständlichen Einstieg in die Programmiersprache Python. Gemeinsam erkunden wir grundlegende Konzepte wie Variablen, Schleifen und Funktionen und lernen, wie Computer Programme ausführen. Anstatt nur Text auf dem Bildschirm zu betrachten, verwenden wir einfache Animationen und Weltraumvideos als Lernwerkzeug. So werden Änderungen am Code sofort sichtbar und die wichtigsten Programmierkonzepte lassen sich intuitiv nachvollziehen. * Was macht ein Computer eigentlich mit einem Programm? * Was sind Variablen, Schleifen und Funktionen? * Wie verändert eine kleine Änderung im Code das Ergebnis? * Wie entstehen aus Programmcode einfache Animationen? Vorkenntnisse sind nicht erforderlich. Der Workshop richtet sich an alle, die einen ersten Einblick in die Welt des Programmierens erhalten möchten. Am Ende des Workshops werden die Teilnehmenden die Grundstruktur einfacher Python-Programme verstehen, Code lesen und anpassen können und erlebt haben, wie Programmcode sichtbare Ergebnisse erzeugt. Bitte bringen Sie Ihren eigenen Laptop mit und installieren Sie Python vor dem Workshop. Begleiten Sie uns zu einem Abend voller Entdeckungen und erster Schritte in die Welt des Programmierens. In Volketswil heisst es: Ready for launch. 🎟️ Ab 16 Jahren: CHF 25 bei Voranmeldung via [info@volkibrains.ch](mailto:info@volkibrains.ch), CHF 30 an der Abendkasse Bis 15 Jahre: kostenlos 📍 Ort: Stationsstrasse 25a, 8604 Volketswil 📅 Datum: Donnerstag, 25.

AI Agents 101: How to Make ChatGPT Do Actual Work
AI Agents 101: How to Make ChatGPT Do Actual Work
Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat. But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity. We’ll cover: * What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot * How agents break tasks into steps * Where agents are genuinely useful today * Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review * How to design simple AI workflows for your own work * A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** *Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code* Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
