Join us for the next Rhein-Neckar AI & Data Hub Meetup, hosted by HMS in cooperation with CBS. This edition brings together two perspectives on how AI is shaping software development: a talk on Agentic Development by Rosana Eldred from BASF and a look at the effort and value of Spec-Driven Development with Jasmin Sebastian from HMS.

Talk: Agentic Development
Title and abstract to follow.👉 Jasmin Sebastian, Software Engineer, HMS
Is Spec-Driven Development Worth the Extra Effort?
SDD adds planning, documentation, and process overhead. So why use it? Based on real-world experience in a Brownfield data engineering project, this talk examines where SDD pays off, where it doesn't, and how custom Copilot workflows can reduce rework while improving consistency and review quality.📍 Location
