theWould you like to know the true cause of DEPRESSION? Would you like to be the best version of yourself? The truth is, there is a reason why we get overwhelmed with these emotions of feeling depressed and alone and feeling as though life is too hard to cope with. In this seminar, you will learn the following: * The discovery of and complete anatomy of the Reactive Mind. * The painful experiences, or engrams, contained in the Reactive Mind command one to act irrationally against their own wishes and goals. * The complete procedure to discover and eradicate these harmful experiences so they never affect you again, revealing the one person you've always wanted to know. You.

Hi Gophers! We're at Atlassian this June to talk carbon footprint calculations for Claude and building a custom Kubernetes PaaS in Go. * **Agenda** **5.45pm — Food & Networking** **6:30pm — Intro** **6:45pm — Talks** **8.00pm — Wrap up then head out for kick ons** * **Talks** **🎤 Mia de Búrca** **What I Learnt Writing a Carbon Awareness Skill for Claude** (short talk) Having recently left my senior IC job in tech, I wanted to take some time to pursue green software principles, in **particular** how they apply to our use of AI. Since I'm an engineer, and engineers learn by doing; I decided to build an MCP server using sustainable software practices, and have it serve up a skill that would let an LLM ask what **its** carbon footprint had been for the conversation so far. The talk describes what I built and why, and how the implementation **and** infrastructure were a breeze **compared** to finding some real numbers to back up the carbon equivalence calculation. **🎤 Ryan Djurovich** **How I built Podplane - an Open Source PaaS running Kubernetes on Object Storage** About Podplane: Want to deploy your app easily and securely on AWS, Google Cloud, or Proxmox? Podplane is an Open Source Platform-as-a-Service built on Kubernetes with all state stored in Object Storage. It consists of a CLI, etcd alternative ([netsy.dev](http://netsy.dev)), auth server ([easy-oidc.dev](http://easy-oidc.dev)), and next-gen auto-scaler ([nstance.dev](http://nstance.dev)) - all written in Go. \* **Interested in speaking at an upcoming event?** We will aim to have a mix of short (\~10min) and in-depth (20-30min) talks. If you’re keen to give a talk on a topic, share a project, or idea, please let us know [bit.ly/GolangMelbourneSpeakersForm](https://bit.ly/GolangMelbourneSpeakersForm)

*Are you a business owner or IT professional in Melbourne wondering if your organisation is actually secure?* *In this free 90-minute session, Deep from CyberXera — a working security operations professional — walks you through how real attacks happen against small and medium businesses, what attackers look for, and the practical steps you can take without an enterprise budget.* *What we'll cover:* *— How phishing and identity attacks actually work* *— Why Microsoft 365 misconfigurations are the #1 entry point for SMBs* *— What endpoint protection actually does (and doesn't do)* *— How to prioritise your first 3 security improvements* *This is a no-jargon, hands-on session. Bring your questions.*

In this hands-on workshop, you'll go from zero to a fully deployed multi-agent system on AWS — no prior AgentCore experience needed. We'll build a real multi-agent research assistant, step by step: \- Deploy your first AI agent using the Strands framework and BedrockAgentCoreApp — running in the cloud in minutes \- Orchestrate multiple agents with the A2A \(Agent\-to\-Agent\) protocol\, a cloud\-agnostic standard that lets agents discover and call each other securely via IAM \- Connect external tools — wire in PubMed via MCP Gateway\, deploy a citation manager as a Lambda function\, and expose your own MCP server By the end you'll have a working orchestrator agent that routes queries to a search specialist, calls real APIs, and manages citations — all running on AgentCore Runtime with proper IAM permissions and CloudWatch observability. What to bring: \- Laptop with Python 3\.11\+ and AWS CLI installed \- An AWS account \(free tier works for most of the workshop\) Skill level: Intermediate — some Python and basic AWS familiarity helpful. No prior agent development experience required.

It's DDD but \***lightning**\*. The evening will be a hybrid event hosted by the DDD Melbourne crew and consist of short & sharp presentations of fifteen minutes in length on a dev related subject. Venue space is limited, we cannot accommodate more than **130 people**. First come first served! **ONLINE ATTENDANCE** You can join us online, we'll aim to get the call started somewhere around 6pm before we have our introductions and first speaker. Remote audience link --> [https://meet.google.com/pvg-uqer-pui](https://meet.google.com/pvg-uqer-pui) You can ask questions of our speakers via Slido. We'll try to ask your questions as they come through on Slido, but we may not get to all of them. **TALKS** **Rupesh, Quality Engineer Practice Lead at Fabric Group:** Validating AI Systems in a Probabilistic World Traditional software testing assumes deterministic behavior—the same input produces the same output every time. Modern AI systems, particularly LLMs and agentic workflows, behave differently. Responses can vary based on context, prompts, model state, and external dependencies, making conventional testing approaches insufficient. This presentation explores how organisations can establish confidence, quality, and governance for non-deterministic systems through new testing methodologies, evaluation frameworks, and observability practices. It will cover emerging tooling such as DeepEval and Botium, along with strategies for measuring accuracy, relevance, safety, hallucination risk, and user experience in AI-driven applications. **Leah Garrett** My Screen Moves Now: Notes From a Web Dev Building Robot UI I went from building web apps to building the face of a robot. In this talk I'll cover what changes when your UI has a body, from testing things you can't see in a browser to designing for a screen that won't stay still, and how AI tooling helped me get up to speed. **James Westall** No Idea What I’m Doing: Shipping Software Anyway I spent five years at uni, racked up a healthy HECS debt… and never actually graduated. I work in sales now, and my background is in Security and Windows Server infrastructure. I’ve never written a line of code anyone has paid for. Which for many, might disqualify me from building software. Apparently, not anymore. This talk is a mix of introspection and light comedy, walking through what happens when someone like me starts building and shipping with LLMs. It’s about capability vs. credibility, vibes vs. reality, and what we’re all supposed to do when the rules of “who gets to build” have quietly changed. **Gordon Chen** Building a Modern eCommerce Marketplace with AI As AI capabilities advance, what role is left for developers, and what skills should we prioritise? Drawing on over 20 years of experience in software engineering and data engineering, Gordon shares his thoughts from building a modern eCommerce marketplace with AI, tackling the shift toward spec-driven development and where human elements remain critical. **@tensorfish** "Ok claude, real-time transit map of melbourne. Make no mistakes." This talk walks through building MykiMap: a live, GPU-accelerated map of every tram, train, and bus moving across Melbourne’s transit network. Along the way, we’ll get into the agentic coding workflow: what it’s genuinely productive for, and what’s just hype.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ **CODE OF CONDUCT** All DDD events are subject to the DDD Code of Conduct available at [https://www.dddmelbourne.com/code-of-conduct/](https://www.dddmelbourne.com/code-of-conduct/) **VENUE AND FOOD SPONSOR** [Fabric Group](https://www.fabricgroup.com.au/) **FUTURE EVENTS** Are you interested in speaking at a future DDD by Night?

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

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.
