PCE - "Philosophic Conversation in English" is a discussion event in English language which focuses on psychology, philosophy, self-consciousness and self-realization. The conversation is based on inclusive discussion rules. We will meet at at a restaurant where we will have a private room exclusively reserved for our event. At the beginning we will choose the topic to discuss. Everybody can suggest a topic. Then we will vote what topic to discuss. The person who suggested the winning topic will then explain his/her idea of the topic. Afterwards everybody gets his/her chance to make a statement. But you can also decide to remain silent and only listen, if you prefer that. We have a time limit for statements, so that everybody has enough time to speak. It is not allowed to interrupt somebody who is speaking. After a statement everybody can ask a question and the speaker will answer. After the first part there will be a 10 minutes break. When we start again, we will decide (by voting) either to go on with the same topic for the second part or to switch to the topic with the second or the one with the third most votes. Everybody is welcome to our event: We are interested in your thoughts and opinions! It is no problem if you arrive late and you can also leave whenever you want. Please check out last event's topics via this link: http://pce-topic.project-website.org (Please try to bring some cash to the event if possible as Café Walletschek accepts credit card payment only from 10 euro and there were some issues with foreign cards.)

I apologize if this seems unfriendly, I have just spent a lot of time waiting for people that didn't show up and this is the best solution that I could come up with)

Stream Oriented Programming (SOP, SP) is a programming and architectural paradigm for today's ever-growing web, desktop, server and cloud development needs. Various implementations of Futures, Streams, Observables and Signals have been present in web development for years, but their use often failed to match even the least ambitious expectations and it's not for the reasons you think. Reactive Streams in SOP are a fundamental building block, not just another async pattern thrown into the mix. They can help you eliminate entire categories of bugs, reduce your code size by up to 90%, reduce your LLM token usage, deliver smaller bundles and ultimately more reliable and robust applications. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **️Want to give a Talk?** ▶️ [https://viennajs.org/en/participate/give-a-talk](https://viennajs.org/en/participate/give-a-talk) **Location:** Eversports GmbH Jakov-Lind-Straße 13, 5th Floor 1020 Vienna, Austria **Sponsors:** Eversports Eversports is a Vienna-based company founded in 2013 with the mission to "Make Sports Happen."

Dear Flutternauts, We’ll start our meetup year with an amazing speaker lineup and an awesome new location! Be sure to RSVP to save yourself a spot and some slices of pizza ;) ***+++++++++++++++ AGENDA +++++++++++++++*** **18:30:** Introduction and welcome **19:00: When building tools becomes cheaper than buying** **by [Damian Bast](https://www.linkedin.com/in/damianbast/)** Lessons learned building a Flutter Desktop App to get rid of another SAAS subscription. I was using a SAAS to track my LinkedIn post performance and just recently realized that they downgraded me to a plan without raw access to my data. Using less tokens than the monthly price of the SAAS I rebuilt it at home. **19:40:** **Food, Drinks and Socializing Break** **20:10: Flipping the Testing Pyramid - Rethinking your testing strategy** **by [Pascal Welsch](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pascal-welsch-679a2b80/)** When the testing pyramid was introduced in 2009, Software engineering was dominated by large enterprise backend systems. Flutter apps don’t fit into that picture. We’re not scared of complex Animations which can be tested reliably with headless UI tests. In this talk, Pascal shows how to flip the testing pyramid and make widget tests the backbone of your testing strategy. You’ll learn how to test your entire app with runApp, structure tests using the Robot pattern, and debug failures visually with the Spot Timeline. The result is a simpler, more robust test setup that survives refactors and reflects how real users interact with your app. **21:00: Meeting fellow Flutternauts**, last bits of food, a drink, friendly or heated discussions (about get, riverpod and bloc ;) ) in a cozy atmosphere. **21:45 - 22:00: Wrapping up**, last drinks We are looking forward to meeting you there! **\*\*LOCATION\*\*** WienIT Base Thomas-Klestil-Platz 13, 1030 Wien U3 Erdberg **\*\*THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR WienIT \*\*** **\*\*WANT TO DO A TALK?\*\*** We are always looking for (short and long) talks! Just fill out this form and we will contact you: [http://talk.fluttervienna.at/](http://talk.fluttervienna.at/) **\*\*JOIN OUR DISCORD SERVER:\*\*** We have a discord server for connection.

We're trying something new. Maybe it will become a more regular thing. February's meetup will be at WerkzeugH with a new concept where we are reserving a section and will have talks supported by streaming audio to your headphones. The AI generated photo tells part of the story. It'll be fun. WerkzeugH is great. We're looking for talks. In the worst case scenario, I will give a version of the Observability talk I just gave at a Ruby conference. So please volunteer a talk so I have less work :) BRING YOUR HEADPHONES, you may need them and mine are gross and you won't want to borrow them. See you soon!

In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA
