Tbilisi JS Meetup #4
Our first birthday! We celebrated one year together with cake, good company, and four talks. Hanna Kastrytsa explored bias in generative AI through her "Echoes of Exclusion" installation, Ivan Zatravkin made the case for the browser as a platform for heavy applications, Valeriya Yakovleva taught how to write interface texts without a UX writer, and Kirill Kazakov explained writing infrastructure as TypeScript. One year down, and we were just getting started. 🎂
This event was supported by the awesome folks at JettyCloud — a software development company specializing in cloud and enterprise solutions.

This talk addresses the pressing issue of bias and stereotyping in images generated by Generative AI. It explores how generative AI often interprets descriptions incorrectly, leading to biased perspectives in the image creation process, and showcases the “Echoes of Exclusion” installation developed to demonstrate this issue to the public.Read more →

Ivan will share insights on how these technologies enable work with datasets of tens or hundreds of thousands of molecules, optimization techniques, what worked and what didn't, and what the future holds.Read more →

Infrastructure as TypeScript
Kirill Kazakov
With countless cloud providers offering easy-to-click solutions, why do SREs insist on writing infrastructure in code and committing it to repositories? Kirill will explain why his team chose TypeScript over Terraform and how this approach improved reliability and developer experience.Read more →
