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!

Working as Lead Facilitator and Design Thinking Architect in MSD, Lukas sees a lot of demand for human connection - even in workshops focused on designing AI solutions.

**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).

Calling all tabletop detectives and storytellers in Prague! 🌿🕵️‍♂️🕵️‍♀️ Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of intrigue, deception, and drama — this time **outdoors at Riegrovy Sady**! With the good warm weather finally arriving, we’re taking *Blood on the Clocktower* into the sun, the grass, and the open air for maximum vibes. Step into the mysterious village of Ravenswood Bluff, where no one is quite who they seem. Will you uncover the demon, protect the town as a Good character, or sow chaos as the Evil? Every round brings new twists, secret roles, and shocking revelations — perfect for friends old and new. No experience? No problem! We’ll guide you through the rules, and you’ll be scheming, bluffing, and deducing in no time. **When:** Sunday, 12 April from **15:00** onwards **Where:** **Riegrovy Sady** 🧺 **Important:** Since we’ll be playing outside, please **bring picnic blankets** (or something comfy to sit on). 🌧️ And a small heads-up: if rain is forecast, the event may be **postponed** — we’ll confirm closer to the date. Mark your calendars, bring your wits, and get ready for an afternoon of suspense, laughter, and unforgettable storytelling. Let the mystery begin! 🔥

Let's play badminton at Sports Centre Olšanka. We'll meet at 11.40 and play for 60 minutes. If you have a Multisport card please bring it along, as it will make the court free for you and also reduce the cost for others. If you don't have a Multisport card the game will cost you a maximum of 150 crowns, probably much less. I will cover the cost of the court so please bring cash to pay me. There is a small organisation fee of 20 crowns for all players to participate in this event. Racquets can be rented for 50 crowns.

This time, the event will also include a **competition** and the **announcement of its results**. The description can be found below. For more information about the competition, please click **[HERE](https://deepscout-challenge.miton.cz/).** Web scraping is no longer just about simple scripts. Modern websites are complex, dynamic, and protected by many anti-scraping systems. At the same time, companies need large amounts of structured data from the web. In this event, we will focus on a real scraping use case and use it to explain how modern scraping works. You will learn what kinds of protections websites use today, what tools can be used depending on website difficulty, and what technical challenges appear in practice. We will also show how machine learning and AI help turn messy web data into structured, usable information. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- ⌚️ **Start**: 16:00 and end at 17:00, both online and offline in **Truhlárna Karlín** (Šaldova 388/5) - **Onsite attendance is limited to 100 people.** 🎙️ **Speakers:** Jan Mittner, Michal Marhan 🍻 **Networking** after the seminar – great food and cold beer waiting for you! **🎥 Recording:** After the event we will publish a recording and post a link to it in the comments. 🚪**Doors open** at 15:45, and the event officially starts at 16:00. Your expertise is about to take off. Can't wait to have you on board! \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Who is hosting the event** **GLAMI** is a leading European fashion discovery platform active in 14 countries.
