White Wolf

We will discuss our reactions and interpretations of Flannery O'Connor's most anthologised short story, readable online in the first 32 pages of the document [here](https://jerrywbrown.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/A-Good-Man-Is-Hard-To-Find-and-other-stories-OConnor-Flannery.pdf) (this document's spacing and font make the story much longer, it is about 11 pages in my edition). This is a story from 1955 which builds on the theme of the southern gothic genre which we explored last time with Faulkner's story (though O'Connor self described her genre as "Christian Realism"). The story is interested in theological and moral questions, and will hopefully provide many interesting questions for us to ponder as we explore its ideas. I look forward to speaking about it with you!

There, the clans convene with the Knights of Solamnia, who are petitioning for an alliance to defend their shared borders against invasion.

**Pomlázky se už pletou, vajíčka se malují… a až se z té velikonoční radosti vzpamatujeme, tak nás čeká první jarní pražský meetup! 🥚🌿🔥** Večer plný talků, nápadů, budoucnosti a podobně naladěných lidí. Jako vždy to rozjedeme Nowwwinkami a pak se ponoříme hlouběji do programu, který opět stojí za to. Přijďte si pro svoji dávku inspirace. Hostit nás budou Mews ve svých pražských kancelářích, kde se můžete těšit nejen na skvělé prostředí, ale i komunitu lidí, kteří žijí frontendem stejně jako vy. 🚀 **Hlavní line-up a na co se těšit dále** 🤩 * 🟢 18:00 otevíráme * 1️⃣ 18:40 **Nowwwinky** od Tomáše Kouta * 2️⃣ 19:00 **Frontend Observability v časech AI: přežitek nebo nutnost?** od Alexe Ratmana * 3️⃣ 19:30 **Proč vám váš CEO bere práci?** od Martina Michálka * 4️⃣ 20:00 **7 klíčových kompetencí vývojáře v době AI** od Marka Velase * 🎓 80+ nadšených účastníků * 🍻 a v neposlední řadě kvalitní catering a networking \-\-\- 1️⃣ Tomáš Kout se svými **Nowwwinkami** otevře večer svým přehledem toho nejzajímavějšího z poslední doby. Rychle, výstižně a se vším, co si zaslouží vaši pozornost. \-\-\- 2️⃣ Následuje přednáška na téma **Frontend Observability v časech AI: přežitek nebo nutnost?** od [Alexe Ratmana](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexratman/) z Mews.com Ve světě, kde AI generuje čím dál víc frontendu, je lákavé myslet si, že observability se postará sama. Ale co když se něco pokazí a vy nevíte kde, proč ani kdo? Na příkladu Mews ukážu cestu od téměř nulové frontend observability až po nasazení Coralogixu a interní vzdělávání týmu. A jako bonus: reálný případ z prostředí velkého evropského telekomunikačního operátora, kde Claude analyzoval produkční problémy na základě dat, která jsme nasbírali - důkaz, že v AI éře jsou dobrá data důležitější než kdy dřív. *O Alexovi: Alex je Senior Frontend Developer ve společnosti Mews, která vyvíjí cloudový hotelový software používaný hotely po celém světě. Za téměř pět let v Mews se intenzivně věnoval frontend observability - od stavu, kdy tým létal naslepo, až po zavádění Coralogixu a budování kultury datově řízeného vývoje. Organizoval interní sérii „Frontend Observability Kindergarten", kde frontendový tým společně prozkoumával možnosti nových nástrojů. Věří, že dobrá observability není o dashboardech - ale o schopnosti pochopit, co se děje s uživatelem právě teď.* \-\-\- 3️⃣ Po přestávce navážeme příspěvkem **Proč vám váš CEO bere práci?** od [Martina Michálka](https://www.linkedin.com/in/martinmichalek/) Velmi dlouho jsem se na svět díval vývojářskou perspektivou. Teď jsem především CEO. Jeden z těch CEO, kteří se zbláznili do vibe-codingu a lezou svým lidem do kódu. To nechcete. Nebo chcete? Vývojářská perspektiva mi umožňuje to vidět i očima frontendistek a frontendistů. Ukážu vám ukázky aplikací, na kterých jsem se podílel, výhry, fuckupy, i vývojářský a produktový pohled. *O Martinovi: Martina snad není nutné představovat*… *😊 tak jen pro zopakování. Martin je známá osobnost české frontendové komunity a dlouhodobě se věnuje hlavně rychlosti webu a webové výkonnosti. Je autorem projektu [Vzhůru dolů](https://www.vzhurudolu.cz) a jeho práce propojuje technickou kvalitu webů s dopadem na UX a byznys. Veřejně vystupuje také v odborných článcích, školeních, konferencí a komunitních aktivitách kolem frontendu obecně. Spolupořádá konferenci [FrontKon](https://www.frontkon.tech/) a je otcem zakladatelem naší komunity [Frontendisti](https://www.frontendisti.cz).* \-\-\- 4️⃣ Večer uzavřeme tématem **7 klíčových kompetencí vývojáře v době AI** od [Marka Velase](https://www.linkedin.com/in/marek-velas/) (Talent mentor a founder edupunk.cz) Psychologický pohled na to, co se skutečně mění — a proč to není o nástrojích. AI dnes negeneruje jen kód. Generuje možnosti. A tím mění práci vývojáře víc, než se zdá. V téhle krátké přednášce se podíváme na 7 kompetencí, které začínají rozhodovat o tom, kdo bude v AI-first prostředí opravdu silný developer — a které se přitom netýkají technologií, ale způsobu přemýšlení. Nejde o nástroje. Jde o změnu role. *O Markovi: Marek působí jako Talent mentor a je hrdým founderem platformy [edupunk.cz](http://edupunk.cz/).* \-\-\- Přijďte si poslechnout, podiskutovat a nastartovat se po Velikonocích správnou Human-AI energií. ✨ Neváhejte s registrací a zabookujte si místo – bude to stát za to! 🎉 👉 Pro další zajímavé novinky a dění sledujte kanály komunity na [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/@FrontendistiCz), [X](https://x.com/Frontendisti), [Facebooku](https://www.facebook.com/frontendisti/), [Instagramu](https://www.instagram.com/frontendisti/), [LinkedInu](https://www.linkedin.com/company/frontendisti/posts/?feedView=all) nebo navštivte [náš web](https://www.frontendisti.cz).

Let's bedazzle some books while we discuss our April pick: Bloodguard by Cecy Robson! Book description: One hundred years. Tens of thousands of gladiators. And today, only one will rise… Everything in the Kingdom of Arrow is a lie. Leith of Grey thought coming to this new land and volunteering to fight in the gladiator arena—vicious, bloodthirsty tournaments where only the strongest survive—would earn him enough gold to save his dying sister. He thought there was nothing left to lose. He was wrong—and they took everything. His hope. His freedom. His very humanity. All Leith has left is his battle-scarred body, fueled by rage and hardened from years of fighting for the right to live another day. Then Leith meets Maeve, an elven royal who is everything he despises. Everything he should hate. Until the alluring princess offers him the one thing he needs most: a chance to win the coveted title of Bloodguard—and his freedom. But in a kingdom built on secrets and lies, hope doesn’t come cheap. Nor will his ultimate revenge… Event: Please bring your own book, journal, bookmarks, etc to bedazzle. If you have bedazzling supplies, please bring them as well. I will supply gems, glue, and picker tools, but if you have certain colors in mind, you may want to bring your own.
