Der Fehler beginnt nicht beim Schreiben der Anforderungen, sondern schon beim Zuhören. Während dein Stakeholder spricht, füllt dein Gehirn Lücken mit eigenen Annahmen. Du filterst und verfälschst Daten, bevor sie im Backlog landen. Wir stoppen die mentale Autokorrektur. Wir behandeln die Worte deines Gegenübers wie eine schreibgeschützte Datei. Wer die Begriffe des Kunden durch eigene "Übersetzungen" ersetzt, baut technischen Schuldenberg auf, bevor der erste Sprint startet. **Clean Language** ist kein "Soft-Skill-Kuscheln", sondern ein präziser Abfrage-Algorithmus. Du lernst, deine Rolle als "interpretierender Experte" abzulegen und stattdessen die logische Struktur des Kunden zu extrahieren. **Das nimmst du mit** * Exquisites Zuhören: Du lernst, den Fokus zu 100% beim Gegenüber zu halten - ohne internen Filter. * 3 Basis-Fragen für saubere Daten: Wir üben die Syntax, mit der du Anforderungen erhebst, ohne sie zu kontaminieren (z.B. "Und was für eine Art von X ist dieses X?"). * Metaphern-Isolierung: Du erkennst vage Begriffe ("schnell", "sicher", "intuitiv") und lernst, deren spezifische Bedeutung für den Kunden freizulegen. **Der ​Trade-off** Du verlierst die Bequemlichkeit der schnellen Interpretation, gewinnst aber absolute Klarheit darüber, was wirklich gebaut werden muss. **Der Speaker** [Tobias Brennecke](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tobias-brennecke/) ist IT-Experte und Coach aus Dortmund, der mit der Methode Clean Language Kommunikationsblockaden in IT-Projekten löst.

This is a structured coworking session for people who want to follow through and get it done. 👉 **New here? You can join for just 2 hours to try it out.** 👉 Stay longer if you want to go deeper. To join, please register here (takes 1–2 minutes): [https://nocrastination.space/](https://nocrastination.space/) **Execution with Style. You start, but don't finish. We help you get it done.** Join our [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/K6LidaoQhe16wZ0Se9pNM6?mode=gi_t) Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nocrastinationclub/) You just haven’t been able to follow through. You start things, lose momentum and find yourself starting over again. You’re not alone. Most people get support at the beginning. And applause at the end. But the part that actually matters? The middle. The quiet, repetitive, sometimes frustrating part where nothing feels exciting, and everything depends on showing up. **That’s where we are.** At NoCrastination, we don’t meet for hype. We meet to **show up and finish something, together.** Not perfectly. Not magically. Just consistently. **Why “Style”?** Because sometimes, the hardest part isn’t the task. It’s who you believe you are when you sit down to do it. When you wear something different, something bold, unusual, or expressive: you step slightly outside your usual identity. And in that small shift… It becomes easier to start. Easier to act. Easier to follow through. **Execution with Style** Each session, you’re invited to wear something you normally wouldn’t: * the jacket that never leaves your closet * something colorful, dramatic, or expressive * something funny, strange, or unexpected * something you feel like you “can’t pull off” No pressure. But if you join in, be ready to share the story behind it. **Self-expression + execution = momentum** **What this really is** This is a space for people who: * keep starting but don’t finish * are building something (or figuring it out) * don’t want to do it alone anymore **What happens here** You bring something you’ve been avoiding. We sit down together. We focus. And you leave with something done. **Why people come back** * “I finally follow through on what I plan” * “I leave with real progress every time” * “This is the only place I actually stay consistent” **How long should I join?** You don’t need to commit to the full session. **Option 1: Try it (2 hours, 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM)** Perfect if it’s your first time or you want a light commitment **Option 2: Go deep (4 hours, 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM)** Stay for the full session and build real momentum **Time and location** 🕐 **Every Tuesday, 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM** 📍 **Jaz in the City – Ground Floor Lounge** Windmühlgasse 28, 1060 Vienna 💻 **Bring:** your laptop, journal, or anything you’ve been avoiding ☕ Please do order something from the bar, so as to keep us in their good graces! Espresso: €3.5, Americano: €4.5, Latte: €5.5. Donations to support the community are voluntary and welcome. **How it works** * **13:00–13:15 → Arrival + Soft intro + Set your task** * **13:15 - 14:45 → Deep focus session 1** * **14:45 - 15:00 → 15’ Break** * **15:00 - 16:30 → Deep focus session 2** * **16:45 onwards → Networking** * Quiet focus + optional social space * Drop in anytime, stay as long as you want Simple structure. Real progress. **First time joining?** Look for **Joanna Liu** near the ground floor bar 💛 We’ll get you settled. **This is for you if:** * You keep starting but don’t finish * You feel stuck working alone * You want structure — without pressure * You want to express yourself AND move forward **What you’ll get** Not motivation. Not a productivity hack. **You’ll get: ONE THING DONE.** And then you come back, and do it again. **This is how it starts** You don’t need to commit to anything big. Just come once. Pick one thing. Finish it. We’ll be there. As we’re growing and improving the experience, we’re moving to a more structured system. Registration is part of participating. **Stay connected** Join our [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/K6LidaoQhe16wZ0Se9pNM6?mode=gi_t) Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nocrastinationclub/) This is a space you can keep coming back to. **You’re not behind. You’re just in the middle.** And you don’t have to go through it alone. You are one of us.

📢 **Upcoming IEEE Blockchain Austria Meetup** 🗓 **Wednesday, May 6th, 2026** 🕕 **18:00–20:00 CET** 📍 **WU Wien** (Room TBA – ExAC or D2) 🎙 **Mark Richardson** (Project Lead, Bancor Protocol) *** 🔍 **Topic: DEX MEV in Closed Form (Sandwich Attacks)** *** We’re pleased to host **Mark Richardson**, Project Lead at **Bancor** Protocol. Mark holds a PhD from the University of Melbourne and transitioned from research science into DeFi in 2021. At Bancor, he has been leading the development of **Carbon DeFi**, a system enabling strategy-specific liquidity provision and more expressive market participation. His work focuses on combining rigorous quantitative methods with practical protocol design, while maintaining decentralization, user safety, and simplicity. This talk provides an analytical and algebraic examination of **Decentralized Exchange (DEX) Maximal Extracted Value (MEV)**, focusing specifically on the sandwich attack mechanism. Mark derives the closed-form solution for computing the optimal, profit-maximizing sandwich attack in the prototypical x\*y=k AMM. The variables, constraints, and the objective function that an MEV searcher must solve when exploiting a pending DEX trade by a naive user are explicitly defined and elaborated. Specifically, the talk provides the details for calculating exact, optimal front-run and back-run trade sizes, illustrated by numeric examples. This rigorous, quantitative work is essential for designing and evaluating future mechanisms aimed at mitigating or redistributing MEV in blockchain economies. The seminar is aimed at researchers and practitioners interested in mechanism design, applied cryptography, market engineering, DeFi, AMMs, and applied cryptoeconomics

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.

In this local meeting, you will discover knowledge that you can use to get over the past. The key to improving your personal motivation, self-confidence, and happiness is to get over your painful memories. When you become free of your past, you will be free from stress, anger, anxiety and depression. Studies show that negative emotions can affect your health. By being free of negative emotions, believe it or not, you will most likely even look younger, feel more energetic, and become healthier! 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 brought to you by the Dianetics and Scientology life improvement center.

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
