Agile Coaching

Řešíš nějaký problém? Zajímají tě nové technologie? Chceš se podělit o tvé zkušenosti? Zastav se na [pro:]TEST! setkání, které bude tentokrát o řízené otevřené diskuzi založená na Open Space! Open Space Technology (OST) je styl samoorganizovaného setkání, jehož režii mají v rukách samotní účastníci. Nápad, otázka, aktuálně řešený problém, to vše může být tématem tohoto večera. Sejdeme se doslova v "open space", určíme si stanoviště, časové bloky a témata a pustíme se do nich. Kdokoliv může na stanoviště přijít nebo z něj kdykoliv odejít. Více o OST se dočtete například zde (anglicky): https://www.facilitator.school/blog/open-space-technology Těšíme se - organizátoři [Pro:]Test! **Upozornění**: setkání probíhá pouze osobně na místě. Z tohoto Meetupu nebude vznikat záznam.

**Frontend developers in 2026 are spoiled for choice. New frameworks promising freedom, AI assistants promising to handle the boring parts. But between the framework debates and the quiet burnout, what actually delivers in day-to-day work?** Join us on **Tuesday, May 26**, for an evening focused on the honest reality of frontend development in 2026. Four engineers from Applifting and Mews will share what's actually working—and what isn't—in framework decisions, AI workflows, and the human side of keeping up with constant change. Let's meet in the **Applifting meetup space**, both in person and online. **We’ll start at 18:00.** 👉[ Register here](https://applifting.io/events/frontend-crew-talk-when-tools-move-faster-than-us) 👈 **if you want to attend in person. Spaces are limited and our event planner Anetka would be sad if we had to turn you away at the door!** **Who’s speaking?** **[Michal Čížek](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michal-%C4%8D%C3%AD%C5%BEek/)**, senior frontend developer at Applifting, will open with a side-by-side comparison of Next.js and TanStack Start—two frameworks with fundamentally different philosophies—to help you pick for your next project. **[Jan Marek](https://www.linkedin.com/in/j4n-marek/)**, senior software engineer at Mews, will follow with how frustration and laziness can guide useful AI workflows, automating each “I don't want to do this manually” from Slack thread to announcement. **[Tereza Šimková](https://www.linkedin.com/in/simkovat/)**, also a senior frontend developer at Applifting, will offer an honest, non-technical look at the hidden psychological toll of working with AI coding assistants. Then, they will be joined for the panel discussion by **[Matyas Mihálka](https://www.linkedin.com/in/matyasmih%C3%A1lka/)**, frontend tech lead at Applifting, bringing a grounded take on what AI coding tools actually deliver day-to-day and how to adopt them without burning out. **We look forward to meeting you!** **Schedule:** **17:30 – Doors open** * Get your ticket ready, say hello to others, and have a drink with us. 🥂 **18:00 – Introduction by Filip Kirschner** * Our co-founder Filip will give you a short welcome and introduce our speakers. **18:15 – Two philosophies, one decision: Next.js vs TanStack Start in 2026 with Michal Čížek** * *Next.js has shaped React for years. TanStack Start is the challenger with a fundamentally different philosophy. Which one should you pick for your next project?* **18:30 – Boring driven development: Let your laziness and frustration guide your creativity in your AI workflows with Jan Marek** * *From Slack thread to announcement: how “I don't want to do this manually” can turn each step of development into automation.* **18:45 — We need to talk: Confessions of a frontend dev's AI journey with Tereza Šimková** * *An honest, non-technical chat about the hidden psychological toll of our evolving relationship with AI.* **19:00 — Short break** * *Time to stretch, refill drinks, and chat a bit.* **19:10 — Panel discussion Living with AI: Tools, anxiety & what actually works with Jan Marek, Michal Čížek, Tereza Šimková, and Matyas Mihálka** * *AI coding tools are everywhere but between the hype and the fear, what actually delivers in day-to-day work?* **20:00 — Q&A session** * *Your turn.

Instruction level parallelism by [Ivica Bogosavljević](https://johnnysswlab.com/author/ibogi/) Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP) is the magic ingredient of a modern CPU that makes it run fast. But not all programs are equal, some have more ILP, others have less. In this talk we are going to investigate our codes from the viewpoint of ILP: which code has more ILP, which has less ILP, how does ILP affect software performance and what techniques we can use to speed up our software. Timetable: 18:00 Get together, setup, socialize 18:30 talk starts ??:?? talk ends, more socializing For those who want to join online here is the **[ZOOM LINK](https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83891473439?pwd=7HSo6db5TDdSQA72V0jVEkGMzhbZeu.1)** While you wait why not join our **[DISCORD SERVER](https://discord.gg/3FQFqkjPyc)**

PangeAI is building agent-driven geospatial intelligence for anyone, turning natural language queries into instant spatial analysis and decisions, with no GIS knowledge required. Backed by autonomous agents we're focused on use cases geospatial context drive real decisions. We're headquartered in the Bay Area with our European HQ right next door in Prague. Maps encode rich spatial context that today's AI agents largely fail to interpret. In this talk, I'll share how we're teaching agents to "read" maps in production at PangeAI starting with geospatial embeddings as a practical foundation for geo-similarity detection, then layering multi-agentic orchestration on top to generate strategic geospatial insights at scale. Along the way, I'll walk through the tooling and frameworks we've built to make all of this tractable for engineers, with real-world examples and open questions at the intersection of geospatial data and agentic AI. Oh, and the [survey](https://swalgeqfetb.typeform.com/to/UywC1NvW)? Still open — developers only.

**What if consciousness isn’t something the brain produces — but something the universe is?** Most of us have absorbed a picture of reality in which matter comes first: the brain generates mind, and when the brain stops, the mind vanishes. It feels like common sense. But a growing number of analytic philosophers and scientists are asking whether that picture can actually hold together — and **whether idealism, the view that consciousness is fundamental to reality, deserves a serious second look**. **Analytical Idealism is not mysticism in disguise. It’s a rigorous, philosophically precise position that engages directly with the hard problem of consciousness, the findings of modern physics, and the limits of materialist explanation**. It takes the tools of analytic philosophy seriously — and uses them to challenge one of our deepest assumptions about what exists. In this session, we’ll explore: • Why materialism struggles to account for the existence of subjective experience • What Analytical Idealism actually claims — and what it doesn’t • What it might mean, practically and existentially, if mind is primary No prior background in philosophy is needed. We’ll build up the ideas together, and the emphasis will be on genuine inquiry rather than expertise. About the host: Corrado Alesso is a software engineer working across mobility, big data, security, and energy — and, more recently, a newly-minted carpenter. When he’s not chasing his interests in electronics, astrophotography, or music, he reads philosophy — particularly metaphysics (to peek behind the veil), philosophy of mind (can’t wrap my head around the C-problem) and ontology (so that I can drop this word at parties). It started with a suspicion that blaming consciousness on complexity feels a bit cheap. That suspicion led him to Analytical Idealism, which he finds deeply grounded — and, uncomfortably, quite convincing. He’s looking forward to dissecting it together.

The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **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. **YouTube Link** https://youtube.com/live/BltmWMH1zG0?feature=share
