Claude Sydney Meetup May 19th
The hardest part of building right now isn't the tools. It's finding the people who get it.
The ones shipping side projects before lunch. Rewriting how their team works with Claude Code. Quietly building the future and wondering if anyone else is too.
This meetup is that room. One night in Sydney.
Real workflows,
real lessons,
real people shipping with AI today. Talks you can steal from. Conversations that go somewhere.
If you're doing the work, you belong here.
What to Expect
6:00 PM — Doors Open
Settle in, and say hello to fellow builders.
6:30 - 7:30 PM — Talks
Talk 1 - Beyond the Demo: A Claude Code PR Pipeline That Reviews and Fixes Itself
Intro: Wiring Claude Code into GitHub Actions takes an afternoon. Wiring it so the agent reviews its own PRs against your guidelines, fixes what fails, and only flags humans when it’s stuck — that’s the part nobody shows you. I’ll walk through the pipeline running on Readplace.com, including the linting, testing, and e2e layers, and you’ll leave with a workflow pattern you can lift into your own repo on Monday.
Bio: Fayner Brack is a principal-level software engineer with 20+ years on distributed systems, the author of js-cookie (22 billion+ downloads/year), and a top 10 contributor in Reddit’s programming communities. She publishes at fagnerbrack.com, writes the Beyond the Demo LinkedIn newsletter on what breaks when real users show up, and is currently building Readplace.com solo.
Talk 2 - coming soon
7:30 - 8:00 PM — Community Engagement & Networking
The best part of any meetup — real conversations. Meet collaborators, swap ideas, and find your next project partner.
