Weekend Getaways

🇭🇷 Programiranje u rulji (mob programming) je kao programiranje u paru ali još zabavnije! Ovaj puta nećemo o dosadnim temama poput toga zašto je jeftinije od običnog programiranja, nego ćemo se zabaviti na RADIONICI na kojoj ćemo programirati U RULJI. Rulja će se sastojati od 4-5 osoba. Po pravilima, jedna osoba će tipkati, a ostale će joj govoriti što da radi. Često ćemo se rotirati, zamjenjujući osobu koja tipka. Ako bude bilo više polaznika, preporučamo osobama u rulji da se ustanu i vrate u publiku kada im dosadi, kad se umore ili kada misle da su dovoljno iskusili, kako bi ih netko iz publike mogao zamijeniti. Potruditi ćemo se da je tehnika lagana za koristiti (izbor Mac i Windows tipkovnice, npr.) ali u rulji je i to puno lakše! 🇬🇧 Mob programming is like pair programming — but even more fun! This time we won’t talk about boring topics like why it’s cheaper than traditional programming. Instead, we’ll have fun at a WORKSHOP where we’ll actually practice MOB PROGRAMMING. The mob will consist of 4–5 people. According to the rules, one person will be typing while the others tell them what to do. We will often rotate, switching the typist. If there are more participants, we encourage people in the mob to step out and return to the audience when they get bored, tired, or feel they’ve had enough experience, so that someone from the audience can take their place. We’ll make sure the setup is easy to use (choice of Mac & Windows keyboard, for example), but in a mob even that becomes much easier! ⏰ Schedule: \- Introduction \- Short description of workshop organisation \- Mob programming \(including Q&A with audience\) Image source: https://www.ria.ie/blog/table-turning-a-victorian-fad/

The "AI hype" is everywhere, but the challenge is moving from a prompt in a browser to a deployed, functional product. Join GDG Zagreb for a hands-on technical workshop in Google’s #BuildWithAI series. We are moving past basic chat interfaces to build a real-world application layer around Gemini. We’ll start by building a YouTube Summarizer as our reference architecture, then dive into the codebase to refactor and adapt it for your own custom content-processing tools. 🏗️ Technical Roadmap This isn't just a tutorial; it’s a build session. We will focus on the end-to-end lifecycle of an AI microservice: The Model Layer: Authenticating and interfacing with the Gemini API using the Google Gen AI SDK or REST endpoints. The Application Layer: Implementing the logic to handle media inputs, transcripts, and structured prompting. We'll use Python (Flask) for backend and a little bit of HTML for basic frontend. The Deployment Layer: We’ll cover Dockerizing your application and pushing it to Google Cloud Run for a live, scalable, and serverless URL. 🔄 From Reference to Reality Once we have the baseline YouTube Summarizer live, the workshop shifts to a "spinoff" phase. You’ll have the autonomy to refactor the logic to create a specialized tool of your choice, for example: Audio Intelligence: Processing MP3s/Podcasts into structured show notes. Document Synthesis: Building a "TL;DR" engine for long-form research or PDFs. Meeting Insights: Turning raw transcripts into actionable tasks. 💻 Who Should Attend? This workshop is designed for developers and tech professionals who: Have a basic understanding of full-stack development. Want to understand the practical integration of LLMs into production-ready web services. 🎒 Requirements A Google Cloud account (we'll provide credits and instructions on how to activate them). A working computer with wifi A curious mind. ⏱️ The Schedule 18:00: Intro to #BuildWithAI. 18:15: Workshop: Building the Summarizer. (optional) Customization: Refactoring for your own use case. 20:00: Deployment to Cloud Run & (optional) Submission for prizes. 20:30: Networking, Pizza, and Refreshments. 21:00: Closing ceremony & Announcing prize winners. Build it. Ship it. Own it. Space is limited to ensure quality mentoring for all participants. #GDGZagreb #BuildWithAI #GoogleCloud #GeminiAPI #Docker #CloudRun #ZagrebTech Agenda --- Hosted By Mario Vegh, Organizer Petra Brčić, Data Scientist An experienced applied mathematician who has transitioned into IT, still thinking about PhD.

Meetup **#1** for **Vibe Coders Croatia** — a community for **builders who ship**. No gatekeeping, no corporate stiffness. Hosted at Reactor Studio with two talks: **Ivan Horvat** on the agentic multi-repo workflow behind a real mobile app — specs, Figma via MCP, cross-repo issue dispatch, daily status sync. **Ivan Klarić** on The Solow Paradox of AI in Software Development — twenty years of building software and the teams that ship it (Google Search, Superbet, Cognism), freshly turned consultant, with a framework for measuring AI's real impact beyond raw velocity. Food, drinks, and the hallway conversations where the next side project starts. 📣 **From Specs to Production: An Agentic Multi-Repo Workflow** A look at how we use AI coding agents as team members across the entire product lifecycle — from writing product specs and designing in Figma via MCP, to automated cross-repo issue dispatch and daily status sync. One docs repo owns the "what and why," one app repo owns the "how," and agents bridge the gap — keeping two repos, multiple tools, and a GitHub Project board in sync without manual handoffs. This talk will walk through the real workflow behind a mobile app built in Reactor Studio, showing how AI agents brainstorm features, generate structured specs, dispatch issues across repos via GitHub Actions, and keep everything tracked automatically. Whether you're a PM, designer, or developer — you'll see how agentic workflows can remove the glue work between your tools and repos. **Ivan Horvat** is a full-stack software engineer with experience delivering product-focused web applications across frontend and backend. With a strong focus on building high-quality, user-centered solutions, he works closely with design and product teams to bridge the gap between idea and implementation. When he's not shipping features, he's exploring how AI coding agents can take over the boring parts of the development lifecycle. * [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivan-horvat-24a4b417b/) 📣 **The Solow Paradox of AI in Software Development** Development velocity is the main metric used to evaluate AI's impact on engineering. After surveying freelancers, agencies, and large product organizations, we found that velocity is only part of the story — and for some teams, not even the most important part. This talk introduces a three-part framework for understanding AI impact across different types of orgs: velocity, completeness, and confidence. After summarizing and explaining these effects, we'll correlate them to existing research, turn them into actionable advice for engineers and their managers, and close with some speculation on where engineering teams — and software development as a discipline — are headed, based on the shifts we've already seen over the last year. **Ivan Klarić** is a software consultant whose career quickly evolved from building software to building the teams that build it. He's worked across startups, scale-ups, big tech, product, and agency environments — co-founding a software agency with a few friends in 2007, spending five years at Google getting Search engineers to care about cross-cutting concerns like annotation quality and freshness, joining Happening/Superbet in 2019 for another five years building a sports engineering team that scaled Superbet from Romania-only to 5+ countries and millions of users, and a short stint at Cognism on a next-generation B2B sales intelligence platform. In early 2026, he joined the dark side and became an independent software consultant. * [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/iklaric/) \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🍕 Food and drinks provided. 📹 Not recorded or streamed this time — you have to be in the room. 🗓️ RSVP is mandatory due to limited seating. 📍**Location**: **Zadarska ulica 80, 6th floor — Reactor Studio.** Use the main entrance on the right side of the building.

This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
