â¶ïž Context That Compounds: What I Learned Building a Memory Lifecycle for Coding Agents
Most teams manage agent context with static rule files â CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, custom YAML checklists, skills, etc. I do too. Then I tracked what actually happened: agents repeated the same mistakes across sessions, rules accumulated without evidence they helped, and review load stayed constant no matter how many rules I added.This talk covers what I learned building and testing a different approach: treating context as a living artifact with a lifecycle â generated from real incidents, curated for gaps, compiled to token budgets, and evaluated before injection. The key insight: context you can't measure is context you can't improve.I'll walk through three concrete problems and the patterns I found to address them:
1. **Attribution** â when an agent opens a PR, you can't tell what it wrote, why, or whether a human reviewed it. Giving agents their own signing keys and git identity changes code review from guessing to auditing.
2. **Memory that persists** â Monday you correct an agent, Tuesday it makes the same mistake. I built a typed diary (episodic, procedural, semantic, reflection entries) that survives across sessions and compiles into token-budget context packs. The difference vs. static rules: rules authored from memory can't compound; entries harvested from incidents can.
3. **Evaluating context, not just code** â SWE-bench tests whether agents can fix bugs. I needed something different: does this context pack actually help the agent avoid known mistakes? I'll show why scenarios harvested from real incidents (20â67% baseline â 95â100% with context) wildly outperform auto-generated ones.The talk is grounded in real workflows, real failures, and real data. The patterns â identity, lifecycle-based memory, context-as-testable-artifact â are applicable regardless of which agent or framework you use.

**Location:**
Dynatrace Austria GmbH
THE ICON VIENNA
***Tower 24 - 22nd Floor***
Wiedner GĂŒrtel 13, 1100 Vienna
When you arrive in the ICON tower, walk straight to the info point and ask for a visitorâs card for Dynatrace (**22nd floor**). They will explain the way to Tower 24. Walk through the 1st glass door. At the 2nd glass door, you will need your visitorâs card (left side) and hold it against the card reader to open. Hold your visitor card against the card reader at the turnstiles, walk through it, and look at the screen on your slide (while entering). Donât move too close to the gate before using your card, as it might block you. The screen will display a letter (A-D) about which elevator you need to take. You can also check your designated elevator by holding the card under one of the elevator screen panels. At the elevator entrance is a small display showing you the floor where it is going -> enter if you see the number 22.

[VIBE CODE WEDNESDAY] 27.05.2026
[VIBE CODE WEDNESDAY] is a weekly gathering of people, hosted by weXelerate, where we are building things with AI â and we'd love for you to join us.
Here's the idea: everyone has a mile-long to-do list and a bunch of ideas they never get around to. Things that don't get scheduled don't get done. So we made it a thing.
Every Wednesday at weXelerate in Vienna, we block off the time and vibe code together.
Think of it like your weekly gym session â except instead of lifting weights, you're finally building that thing you've been putting off for months.
Two reasons people keep coming back: you actually get stuff done, and you're not alone in the room and meet new people.
Someone next to you just found a tool you've never heard of or you get honest feedback on your idea. That kind of casual knowledge sharing is hard to find â and it happens naturally here.
From pros to newbies everyone is welcome.
No experience required. No pressure. Just show up and build.
Wednesdays @ weXelerate, PraterstraĂe 1, 1020 Vienna
Hermetecism: FWM Monthly Pub Moot!
**Monthly "Pub Moot" and Lecture Series- *in English***
**This Monthâs Topic:**
**On the Origina of Hermetecism: The Corpus Hermeticum, Tabula Smaragdina, and Beyond**
***When we think about hermeticism, we think about Aleister Crowley and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, we maybe think about W.B. Yeats and the Hermetic Society, about Freemasons and Rosicrucians. Then, if weâre fond of Italian Renaissance, Marsilio Ficino and his consorts come to mind. But we can follow this path down the centuries even further â this talk aims to take, in all due brevity and as far as possible, a look at the origins of Hermeticism and how its textual sources were interpreted in later times.***
Pub Moots will generally be held on the **4th Wednesday** of every month. Sometimes there will be exceptions based on what is going on, so make sure to check back here on Meetup for the exact information
All are welcome- experienced practioners, newbies, merely curious, Wiccans and Wiccan-curious and practitioners of similar traditions and those who have no idea why they want to come but just do and even those who don't know a thing but simply like Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings and suchlike... :-)
**General schedule of the evening:**
19:00- 19:30- Meetup, time to eat and socialize
19:30- 20:30- Lecture and Discussion
20:30-21:00 and beyond- Open discussion and more socializing- eat, drink, and be merry!
**Attendance is free** but you will need to buy something at the pub. :-)
*(The Pub is old-school Austrian and cash-only, so bring paper money! :-))*

The Psychology of Data Transformations & Optimizing Multimodal AI Pipelines
Dear Data Enthusiasts,
Join us again on **29th of May** at **A1** to learn about the psychological implications on employees when transforming the data landscape of an organization. In addition, we will finally have a talk about the open source framework Metaxy and how it can help to cut costs of multimodal AI pipelines.
A big thanks goes to our co-organizers from the A1 Telekom and our sponsor Cloudera!
**A Psychological Autopsy of a Data Transformation**
*DĂĄvid Farkas*
Five years ago, a small European university decided to build and implement a data strategy from scratch. Greenfield in the truest sense: data governance was an unheard term and in practice it meant local Excel files duplicated across inboxes; "the database" usually referred to whichever spreadsheet someone had emailed most recently. Over four years, we designed and rolled out new systems, established governance structures, hired a team, and delivered real wins. We also watched a significant portion of the work get undone in months once leadership changed.
This talk is a psychological autopsy of that transformation â what was planned, what worked, what quietly collapsed, and why. Universities are an unusually honest laboratory for studying data initiatives: decentralized power, competing stakeholder logics, weak formal hierarchies, and ambiguous success metrics make every human dysfunction that exists in corporate environments more visible.
Drawing on behavioural science and nearly five years leading this initiative, I'll walk through the recurring failure patterns I see across data and AI projects more broadly â algorithm aversion, NIH syndrome, the gap between executive sponsorship and operational ownership, and the under-recognised role of organisational identity in determining which systems survive a leadership change. The argument is not that technology doesn't matter â it's that the human substrate determines whether any of it sticks. Borrowing Kranzberg: technology is never neutral, and neither are the people implementing it.
**DĂĄvid Farkas** is a research psychologist (PhD) and data scientist based in Budapest. He co-founded Principle Zero, which helps companies, NGOs, and researchers take on complex challenges in data strategy, digital and AI transformation, research, product development, and science communication. We bring behavioural science to problems most consultancies treat as purely technical, focusing on the human and organisational factors that determine whether ambitious projects survive contact with reality. Previously he led data science and digitalisation at MOME Budapest, with earlier industry experience applying machine learning.
**Optimizing Multimodal AI Pipelines with Metaxy**
*Georg Heiler, Hernan Picatto*
The AI era has caused a fundamental shift in computing, moving us toward complex multimodal pipelines. However, these new systems are often incredibly wasteful. Right now, small changes to an input can trigger massive recomputations across very expensive processing steps.
In this talk, we will explore Metaxy, an open source Python framework built to solve this exact problem. Metaxy provides sample level metadata versioning and acts as the universal glue for incremental data pipelines. We will discuss how its field level provenance allows your pipeline to only recompute what actually changed. If you update an audio file, for example, Metaxy knows to skip downstream face recognition steps that only rely on video.
Whether you are a startup stretching your compute budget, an enterprise scaling ML infrastructure, or a researcher in academia, you will learn how to use Metaxy to iterate faster, cut cloud costs, and build highly efficient AI workflows.
**Georg Heiler** is a co-founder @Jubust and a Senior data expert at Magenta as well as a ML-ops engineer at ASCII. He is solving challenges with data. His interests include geospatial graphs and time series. Georg transitions the data platform of Magenta to the cloud and is handling large scale multi-modal ML-ops challenges at ASCII.
**Hernan Picatto** is a Computer Science PhD candidate at the Vienna University of Technology researching firm-level supply chains and corporate networks using NLP and Common Crawl data. Formerly an engineer at JPMorgan Chase and ZhiZhouKeji, he holds an MA from UCSD. His broad interests span big data, visualization, and time series causality.
đ€đ€ Open Mic
We are going to open up the stage after the talks for community announcements. If you'd like to announce something, [open this slide deck](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1yvFI_Lm7KjgletICOQ1hLW1hHKmCIPA1OWQF2EeZieo/edit?usp=sharing), make sure you are signed in with a google account, and click "View Only" -> "Request Edit Access".

KI Learning Friday FrĂŒhstĂŒck #1 @Wien
KI ausprobieren kostet Zeit. Und meistens lÀuft es zuerst schief.
Genau dafĂŒr haben wir unsere Learning Fridays: ein geschĂŒtzter Rahmen, in dem Gepardec-Teams echte KI-Technologien testen â ohne Kundendruck, ohne Deadline.
Was funktioniert. Was nicht. Und warum.
Am 29. Mai teilen wir das offen.
Was du konkret mitnimmst
đ Du sparst dir die Umwege, die wir bereits gegangen sind:
đŹ AI-gestĂŒtzte Systemanalyse â Welche LLM-Tools fĂŒr Enterprise-Kontexte taugen, welche nicht â und was MCP wirklich bringt.
âïž AI-Assisted Code Migration â Wo Konveyor AI bei WildFlyâQuarkus-Migrationen wirklich hilft und wo du trotzdem manuell ran musst.
đŠ Tune das Llama â Was beim Fine-Tuning eines lokalen LLMs schiefgeht, bevor es funktioniert â Datenmenge, Konfiguration, Evaluierung.
FĂŒr wen ist das relevant?
đ FĂŒr alle, die KI in ihrer Softwareentwicklung einsetzen wollen â aber keine Zeit haben, bei Null anzufangen.
ââââââââââââââââââââââââââ

#3 PostgreSQL Meetup Vienna (Afterwork Edition)
Special (aka "no time to prepare more") - Edition of the **PostgreSQL Meetup in Vienna** is coming up!
We have no talks planned, no agenda in place. Just join for drinks and meals and networking with other PostgreSQL people.
**When:** May 28, 2026 â 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM
**Where:** [Siebensterngasse 19, 1070 Wien](https://goo.gl/maps/iVsME3acGpodHrsRA) https://www.7stern.at/ Vienna - Table is reserved for "Postgres Meetup"
**Preliminary Agenda:**
The group makes the agenda :)
please RSVP. I will organize a place to meet, drink & eat.
Platform Engineering Vienna - May 2026 Meetup
Welcome to our May Meetup event for great talks, discussions and beers. We will meet at the Dynatrace office, thanks for hosting!
**Agenda**:
* Doors open 5:30 p.m.
* ***Talk 1: 6:00 to 6:30 p.m.***
* **Speaker**: Philipp Maier
* **Title**: Beyond the Fork: A 2026 Perspective on Terraform and OpenTofu
* **Abstract**: Both Terraform and OpenTofu are industry-standard tools used to automate the provisioning and management of infrastructure through code.
In this session, we will start at Commit b145fbc from 2023 and shortly review what happened back then and how OpenTofu started. We will then explore the technical divergence between Terraform and OpenTofu as of 2026 and how their managed ecosystems have evolved, looking at the practical trade-offs for our own projects.
* **Break: 6:30 to 6:45 p.m.**
* ***Talk 2: 6:45 to 7:30 p.m.***
* **Speaker**: Sahil Sharma
* **Title**: Kafka on Kubernetes: Building a Full-Stack Streaming Environment with Strimzi.
* **Abstract:** Running Apache Kafka on Kubernetes was once considered a daunting task. However, the Strimzi operator has simplified this process, making it possible to manage complex streaming infrastructure through a declarative approach. In this session, we will demonstrate how to bridge the gap between local development and production patterns by deploying a full-stack Kafka environment inside a Kind cluster.
We will walk through a live setup including:
\- Cluster Provisioning: Using Strimzi to deploy a functional Kafka cluster in seconds\.
\- Management & Visibility: Integrating Kafbat UI to inspect topics and messages\.
\- Observability: Implementing a Grafana and Prometheus \+ AlertManager stack to track broker health and consumer lag\.
\- Application Flow: Deploying a producer and consumer to validate the end\-to\-end data pipeline using Confluent library\.
Whether you are building a local sandbox or planning a larger rollout, you will leave with a repeatable template for a fully observable Kafka ecosystem on Kubernetes.
* **Networking**: start 7:45 p.m.

**Abstract**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.

Pranic Healing Level I - PH I--- DAY 2 of 2
MCKS PRANIC HEALINGÂź Level I
In PRANIC HEALINGÂź Level 1, you learn the basics of working with your energy aura, including learning to "scan," or feel the energy, to "sweep," or clean away congested energy, and to "energize," or supplement areas in your aura that have a pranic deficiency.
PRANIC HEALINGÂź has been taught to doctors, nurses, massage
therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, shiatsu practitioners, and many others in the healing field. It has allowed them to heal confidently and consistently in the shortest learning time possible. These professionals find PRANIC HEALINGÂź very effective and easy to apply.
Other topics covered in PRANIC HEALINGÂź Level 1:
Energetic anatomy: You will learn to work with the network of chakras, meridians and auras to accelerate the healing processes of your body.
Preventive healing: You will learn to remove the negative energetic patterns of a disease to prevent it from fully manifesting as a physical ailment.
Self-Pranic healing: You will learn to apply these healing techniques to accelerate your own healing.
Step-by-step techniques for ailments related to your:
respiratory system, e.g., asthma,; circulatory system, e.g., heart ailments; gastrointestinal system, e.g., irritable bowel syndrome; musculoskeletal system, e.g., arthritis and back pain; reproductive system, e.g., menstrual problems. You'll also learn how to address common problems as migraines and sinusitis.
Additionally, you'll learn to apply distant healing to loved ones who are not present in the room with you.
All PRANIC HEALINGÂź courses are "experiential," which means that you learn by actually performing the techniques and exercises in class - on yourself and those around you. During class, all the principles will be explained thoroughly and you will practice the techniques exhaustively so you will be confident in your ability to produce positive results when you finish the course.
This is Day 2 of 2 Attendance at day one is required to attend day 2.
The Course text book is Choa Kok Sui, "Miracles through Pranic Healing" Please bring this with you to class.
PRANIC HEALINGÂź Level 1 is a prerequisite to all other GMCKS courses.
For those interested to review the class...Review fee is only $75!!
