Berlin. Vibe Coding Club - Lovable
**IMPORTANT! Please register at** [Luma Page](https://luma.com/9svvrv99)
Vibecoding is no longer the question. What matters is what you actually do with it.
**On May 9** at **Spiced Academy (Berlin)**, we meet to figure that out in practice — using **[Lovable](https://lovable.dev/)**. No lectures, no slides. You open the tool and start working.
[Projector Global community](https://www.linkedin.com/company/projector-global-community/) ambassadors and mentors will guide you through the basics, help you navigate the process, and answer your specific questions.
**This event is for those who:**
— already have some experience in vibecoding
— want to test a tool hands-on instead of watching demos
— are stuck on something specific and want a real answer
Come with a question.
Even better — submit it during registration.
We recommend creating an account in advance so you can jump straight in.
**Mentors**
During the session, you’ll be supported by experienced builders and designers:
* **[Vitalik Kotik](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vitali-kotick/)** — CEO & Co-Founder @Superapp, ex-Bolt Senior Product Designer

* **[Danilo De la Fuente](https://www.linkedin.com/in/danilo-de-la-fuente-product-manager/)** — Founder @Arma Music, Product Manager
They’ll be there to help you unblock, give direction, and support your ideas in real time.

Kreative Schreibübung mit anschließender Diskussion zum Erfahrungsaustausch, Inspiration und Motivation zu sammeln. Ein Raum für alle, die kreativ schreiben möchten – egal ob du gerade erst anfängst oder schon länger schreibst.

In unseren Treffen arbeiten wir mit abwechslungsreichen Schreibimpulsen, die neue Perspektiven eröffnen und spielerisches Experimentieren ermöglichen. Du schreibst direkt vor Ort, teilst deine Texte mit der Gruppe (freiwillig!) und erhältst konstruktives Feedback.
Die Atmosphäre ist offen und unterstützend. Hier darf ein Text noch unfertig sein, eine Idee noch roh, ein Gedanke noch unausgereift. In dieser Atmosphäre gegenseitiger Wertschätzung entsteht der Mut, sich auszuprobieren und die eigene Stimme zu entdecken. Wir lesen einander vor, geben Rückmeldung, ermutigen uns gegenseitig und praktizieren das Zuhören.
**Über Text Collective Berlin:**
Wir sind eine kreative Schreibcommunity, die regelmäßige Workshops und Lesungen organisiert. 2025 erschien unsere erste Anthologie "Begegnung zwischen Welten" mit Texten aus der Schreibwerkstatt.

Achtsames Kuscheln für Frauen - Berlin Weißensee - 09.05.2026
Kuscheln für Frauen darf echt sein. Leicht. Tief. Bewegend.
Hier darf Frau kichern, Nähe spüren und Kraft tanken.
Es entsteht eine Verbindung, die nährt – achtsam, klar und wohltuend.
Kuscheln kann vieles sein: spielerisch, ruhig, tief, warm oder einfach nur entspannend. Finde heraus, was dir gut tut.
Wir – Ava & Melanie – begleiten dich durch deine Kuschelerfahrung in Berlin. Als ausgebildete Therapeutinnen mit einer tiefen Liebe für Körperarbeit, Verbindung und Präsenz schaffen wir Räume, in denen du dir selbst und anderen echt begegnen kannst – spielerisch, liebevoll, nährend.
Unsere Kuschelevents sind geprägt von Achtsamkeit, Klarheit und innerem Einvernehmen. Hier darf Frau lachen, kuscheln – und einfach sie selbst sein.
Wir glauben, dass Berührung ein menschliches Grundbedürfnis ist – kein Luxus. Deshalb gestalten wir Räume, in denen du dich entspannen, auftanken und dich frei entscheiden kannst, wie nah du wem sein möchtest. Kuscheln ist immer freiwillig, respektvoll und im Einklang mit den vereinbarten Regeln.
Unser Wunsch ist es, dir einen sicheren und achtsamen Raum zu eröffnen und zu halten, in dem du in respektvoller Atmosphäre Nähe, Berührung und Entspannung erleben kannst – ganz ohne Leistungsdruck oder sexuelle Absicht. Lachen, Weinen und Stille sind hier gleichermaßen willkommen.

Outdoor Silent Reading/Creating Club at Tilla-Durieux-Park [Luma to RSVP]
RSVP on [Luma](https://luma.com/0f3ue7fu?utm_source=Meetup).
Silent Reading / Creating Club is a gathering for people who enjoy focusing together in public.
Bring a book, a notebook, a sketchpad, knitting needles, whatever you’d like to spend a quiet hour doing. All projects and all participants are welcome.
We’re building a community of readers and creators who value depth, presence, and shared silence. The reading and creating isn't the real highlight, though, it’s in the people who return and make it feel like a familiar room.
(Please RSVP “yes” only if you can make it, so we can save a seat for you and others on the waitlist.)
Our Meeting Point is in the middle of the **Tilla-Durieux-Park near Potsdamer Platz**. Bring a picnic blanket, a cushion, and maybe some snacks/a drink!
No assignments, expectations, or pressure. Just a shared hour of intentional silence, followed by the opportunity for good conversation.
🕰 Our Agenda
**10:30 – 11:00**
Arrivals, ordering drinks/food, light social time
**11:00 – 12:00**
The Great Quiet Hour
(Read. Write. Sketch. Code. Think. Sit.)
**12:00 – 12:30**
Optional socializing: share what you were reading or creating, or simply continue in quiet focus.
## 🏡 House Guidelines
To keep this space calm and welcoming for everyone:
• Silence during the focus hour (no calls or conversations)
• Put cellphones on silent mode
• If using technology, please avoid meetings or audio (headphones please!)
• Arrive before 11:00 if possible to minimize disruptions

ACX Spring Meetups Everywhere 2026
Let's meet for the [ACX Spring Meetups Everywhere 2026](https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/meetups-everywhere-spring-2026-times) in the Humboldthain!
This will likely be a big meetup, as it was announced by Scott on ACX. From experience, I expect 25–50 attendees.
Humboldthain is good to reach by public transport; the next train stops are S+U Gesundbrunnen and S Humboldthain.
If you’re reading this, you’re invited. Please don’t feel like you "won't be welcome" just because you’re new to the blog, demographically different from the average reader, or hate ACX and everything it stands for. You'll be fine!
I'll buy some snacks; feel free to bring something to share as well. There are also many restaurants around if you get hungry.
Location: Big lawn at the center of Humboldthain — [https://plus.codes/9F4MG9WP+36](https://plus.codes/9F4MG9WP+36)

[Golang & Java] free agentic coding workshop
Join us for a hands-on, collaborative **4-hour workshop** where we use LLMs to code. We will be implementing the following 3 exercises: [connect four](https://www.hellointerview.com/learn/low-level-design/problem-breakdowns/connect-four) [amazon locker](https://www.hellointerview.com/learn/low-level-design/problem-breakdowns/amazon-locker) and [elevator](https://www.hellointerview.com/learn/low-level-design/problem-breakdowns/elevator)
### **What we will do**
We will use the LLM (any free one, like chatGPT) to write code that solves a given problem. Our goal is to not write code by hand, and to produce an application that passes a set of specifications.
### 🛠 **Share ideas about agentic coding**
We will be practicing our agentic coding skills:
* bring a laptop with Java or Golang installed
* know how to code in either Java or Golang
* share and explore ideas about how to use LLMs to create production-ready applications
### 💬 **Atmosphere & Logistics**
The workshop is **free**. There will also be a 20 min pause, if you want to order snacks.

Chitta Walks - Awareness in Motion
Chitta Walks is for people whose days move fast, while the mind never fully lands. Thoughts keep looping even when nothing is urgent. The body moves, but attention is elsewhere. Over time, this disconnect drains clarity and ease.
This walk is a simple reset.
We meet in Berlin’s Tiergarten and walk at a gentle pace. Parts of the walk are in silence, with light guidance and a few short prompts. The walk itself is the practice, bringing body and mind back into the same moment.
No apps. No performance. Just a clear space to slow down and notice what is happening.
If you want to slow down without withdrawing from life, join a Chitta Walk.
✨ **What to expect (approx. 90 minutes):**
* A short arrival and orientation
* A guided silent walk (phones off, no conversation)
* One concise science-based impulse on attention or stress
* Optional reflection in pairs or small groups
* A simple takeaway or experiment for daily life
🚶**Who this is for:**
* Professionals, creatives, and people in transition.
* People who feel mentally busy and want more clarity and balance.
* Those curious about mindfulness, but grounded and practical.
* Anyone comfortable with silence and gentle self observation.
🔔 **Practical notes:**
* Duration: 60-90 minutes
* Wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing
* No prior experience needed
* Group size is limited to keep the space quiet and focused
🧭 **Facilitator:**
My name is Partha Sarathi, you can call me PS. I have lived in Berlin for over 12 years. With a background in physics and materials science, my interest in mindfulness grew through personal experience with stress and health challenges. I facilitate the space and structure of the walk, inviting shared exploration rather than instruction.
🤔 **Why Chitta Walks?**
Chitta is a Sanskrit word referring to the mind or field of awareness, used here in a practical, non-religious sense.
Chitta Walks is about noticing how the mind works by slowing down and walking together. Mindful walking makes thought patterns visible in real time, while moving and sensing in the world.
The name points to a simple capacity: noticing what is happening in the mind without immediately trying to fix, judge, or optimize it.
🌿 **Possible effects:**
A calmer nervous system.
Clearer attention.
A felt sense of being more present in your body.
Subtle insights into how your mind reacts under everyday conditions.
A quieter, more grounded way of moving through the city.
**Come as you are. Walk. Notice. Leave with a little more space inside.**
Sunday Tech Coffee Meetup

Duty vs. Results: What Makes an Action Moral?
When judging morality, should we prioritize **intentions/duty** or **outcomes/results**? It introduces two influential philosophers as representatives of these approaches.
* **Immanuel Kant (deontology):** An action is moral when it is done from **duty** and follows rational, universal principles (the **categorical imperative**). Certain acts—like lying—are wrong regardless of the consequences; you can’t do a wrong thing for a right reason.
* **John Stuart Mill (utilitarian consequentialism):** The morality of an action is determined by its **effects**, specifically how much **happiness/well-being** it produces. Mill argues that some pleasures are “higher” than others, and that good intentions don’t redeem harmful outcomes.
## Discussion Questions
1. **The lying dilemma:** A murderer comes to your door and asks if your friend is hiding inside. Kant would say you must not lie.
2. **Can good intentions rescue a bad outcome?**
3. **The organ harvest problem:** A surgeon has five patients dying of organ failure and one healthy patient in for a checkup. Killing the one to harvest organs would save five lives, and the math works out for the utilitarian. Why does this feel so deeply wrong? Is that feeling a point in Kant's favor, or just a bias we should overcome?
4. **Do rules need exceptions?** Kant insists moral rules must be universal, with no exceptions. But most of us can imagine extreme scenarios where any rule seems like it should bend. Does the need for exceptions fatally undermine deontology, or is the strength of the system precisely that it refuses to bend?
5. **Who gets to calculate the consequences?** Utilitarianism asks us to maximize good outcomes, but we're notoriously bad at predicting consequences. If we can't reliably know the results of our actions, is it practical to base our entire moral system on outcomes? Does this uncertainty push us back toward rules and principles?
6. **Everyday morality:** Think about a real moral decision you've made recently, even a small one. Did you reason more like a Kantian (what's the right thing to do in principle?) or more like a utilitarian (what will produce the best result?)? Do most people naturally lean one way?
7. **Justice vs. the greater good:** A town can prevent a deadly plague by sacrificing one innocent person. The greater good is clearly served. But is it just? Can an action be morally right and deeply unjust at the same time?
8. **The big synthesis question:** Are these two systems actually opposed, or do they often arrive at the same answers by different paths? Is it possible that we need both: rules to guide us in the moment and consequences to evaluate systems and policies over time?

LLM Showdown: ChatGPT vs Claude vs Gemini vs Local Models
Join us for a practical, beginner-friendly guide to choosing the right large language model. We’ll compare major models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Llama, talk about when to use hosted APIs versus local models, and break down the tradeoffs around cost, speed, quality, privacy, context windows, coding ability, and reliability.
You’ll leave with a clearer mental model for picking an LLM based on your actual use case instead of hype, benchmarks, or brand names. No deep AI background required.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
