Welcome to LGTM - Programming in the Age of LLMs! At this new meetup, we're going to discuss the human side of LLM coding – how AI tools affect the way we build software, how we collaborate and how we feel about the transformation of our craft. We'll also mingle & have fun! **• LLM-assisted coding - A Systems Perspective** ([Dragan Stepanović](https://bsky.app/profile/dstepanovic.bsky.social)). About the speaker: Dragan is Principal Engineer at [gigs.com](https://gigs.com/). He's an expert in Extreme Programming and Theory of Constraints, as well as a prolific conference speaker. **• Agentic Support Ticket Investigation** ([Irmela Göhl](https://www.linkedin.com/in/irmela/)): Our team spent 6-10 hours a week manually investigating support tickets across multiple backend systems. This talk traces our iterative path from a hackathon prototype to a fully automated triage agent that investigates tickets before a human even opens them, shifting the job from "investigate" to "validate and decide“. About the speaker: Irmela is Engineering Manager at 1KOMMA5º, where she leads the teams building the Heartbeat app that helps customers track how their home energy system is optimized to always use the cleanest and cheapest electricity. • **When Code Gets Cheap: What Happens to Product Management?** ([Igor Bakman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/igor-bakman/)): When code gets cheap, choosing what to build becomes the hard part. This talk shares startup stories on how LLM coding is reshaping Product Management, engineering ownership, and the SDL About the speaker: Igor Bakman is a technology and product leader with 20+ years of experience building teams, platforms, and AI-enabled products across health tech, e-commerce, and other domains.

**Kurzbeschreibung** Afterwork-Brainwalking von ARC Live über Veränderung, Klarheit und neue Perspektiven. **Beschreibung** Walk of Change ist ein neues Format von ARC Live in Berlin. Nach einem Tag voller Meetings, Mails und Bildschirme bietet der Walk of Change einen anderen Raum: Bewegung, frische Luft, gute Fragen und Austausch auf Augenhöhe. Wir sitzen nicht vor einem Bildschirm und sprechen über Veränderung. Wir gehen los. Schritt für Schritt. Wir nutzen Brainwalking als Methode für besseres Denken in Bewegung: Gehen, Nachdenken und Austausch verbinden sich zu neuen Perspektiven. Der Walk of Change ist offen für alle, die Veränderung im beruflichen Kontext erleben, gestalten oder besser verstehen möchten. Es geht nicht um einen Vortrag, keinen Pitch und keine Tool-Demo. Es geht um Bewegung, Austausch und neue Perspektiven. **Thema dieser ersten Session:** Raus aus der Unklarheit **Leitfrage:** Was hilft uns, in Zeiten von Veränderung wieder klarer zu sehen? Du musst keinen Fall vorbereiten und kein konkretes Problem mitbringen. Du kannst den Walk nutzen, um für dich selbst nachzudenken, dich locker mit anderen auszutauschen oder tiefer über Veränderung, Klarheit und Perspektiven zu sprechen. Unsere Route startet am **Platz des 09. November 1989**, einem Ort, an dem Veränderung in Berlin unmittelbar sichtbar wird (S-Bhf. Bornholmer Straße). Von dort gehen wir in Richtung **Bernauer Straße / Gedenkstätte Berliner Mauer**, durch einen Stadtraum, in dem Grenzen, Übergänge und Neubeginn sichtbar werden. Der Walk ist keine Stadtführung, sondern ein geführter Reflexionsspaziergang mit einer gemeinsamen Leitfrage. Und ganz nebenbei kommen wir nach einem langen Arbeitstag wieder in Bewegung. **Format** Der Walk dauert ca. 2 Stunden und folgt einem einfachen, offenen Rahmen. Wir starten mit einer kurzen Begrüßung, einer Einführung in das Format und der Leitfrage des Abends. Danach gehen wir gemeinsam los, in wechselnden Gesprächen, kleinen Gruppen oder auch zeitweise still. Die Leitfrage begleitet den Walk, ohne dass daraus ein Workshop oder eine Beratungssession wird. Unterwegs gibt es kurze Reflexionsimpulse oder Gesprächsfragen. Du entscheidest selbst, wie tief du einsteigen möchtest. Zum Abschluss sammeln wir freiwillig, was jede:r mitnimmt: eine Frage, eine Beobachtung, eine Erkenntnis oder vielleicht einen nächsten Gedanken. **Wichtig** Bitte bring bequeme Schuhe, wettergerechte Kleidung und Neugier auf Veränderung mit. Das Event findet draußen statt. Bei starkem Regen oder Unwetter passen wir das Format kurzfristig an. **Treffpunkt**: Platz des 09. November 1989, Bornholmer Straße **Ziel / Richtung**: Bernauer Straße / Gedenkstätte Berliner Mauer **Sprache**: Deutsch **Dauer**: ca. 2 Stunden **Format**: Afterwork-Spaziergang, Reflexion, Austausch **Vorbereitung**: keine notwendig **Begleitet von:** Anthony B. Holtz, Entwickler von ARC

In einer kleinen, gemütlichen Gruppe treffen wir uns regelmäßig, um den Tag mit positiver Energie zu beginnen - für mehr Vitalität und Lebensfreude. Mit Energieübungen, EdxTM nach Dr. Gallo - eine Meridianklopftechnik mit postiven Affirmationen, Atem- & Energieübungen ... und einem netten Gespräch bei Tee und Kaffee. Das Treffen ist kostenlos - Spenden sind willkommen! Wer möchte kann anschließend noch eine Access Bars Session zum Morning Special bekommen: https://www.i-feel-so-good.de/access-consciousness/access-consciousness-einzelsessions/access-bars-sessions.html Anmeldung bitte zeitnah telefonisch oder per whatsapp - die Plätze sind begrenzt

🕢 Doors open at 18:30 and sessions start at 19:00. Freestyle vocal workout at and play session. €8-20 😌 Flow is a state of being… an experience when you allow yourself to be 100% fully engaged in the present moment in a feedback loop between clarity and satisfaction. It is an undeniable sensation where things seem to be more effortless, pleasurable, in sync, and you can easily sense a connection with something greater than yourself; this is what we will create…: • a connected and mindful meditation where it is possible to blissfully surf the cutting edge of the present moment together… • a game where it’s possible to feel excited and calm in the same moment, and everyone can win as much as they like… Scott Bolden, founder of Das Baumhaus Berlin will share some very easy, practical and effective methods developed during the last 12 years of facilitating the “Improvisational Groove Orchestra” (I.G.O.) improv vocal jam sessions. Within 20 minutes participants learn to use the common sound space to create resonance in the form of improvisational music where it is quite common to experience some real flow moments… It is very easy to participate, no musical talent or training is required so anyone is welcome to join. All of the session is done with eyes closed to avoid visual distractions and keep focus on the co-created sound space. During these sessions we will also have short breaks for feedback and refreshment. Important – Please be on time. It is very important to understand the methodology and warm up in the group before joining in! 🎤 @21:00 - Freestyle vocal workshop and practice session. €8-15 Have you ever wanted to learn how to do freestyle vocalizations? Maybe you are on your way and would like to just have a fun workout session with other vocal freestyle enthusiasts. All levels welcome.

**Nerds, Creatives & Dreamers** is a small, curated gathering in Berlin for two kinds of people who almost never end up in the same room: the ones who build things with code, and the ones who build things with imagination. Developers and painters. Engineers and writers. Founders and photographers. In daily life these worlds rarely collide — here, that collision is the whole point. Just a good space, a deliberate mix of curious people, and the freedom to let the evening unfold. Come ready to be surprised by who you meet and where the evening takes you. A room full of curious humans. We’re here to socialize as human beings. And if you do exchange contacts — make it personal, not transactional. **🛠 If You Build Things** · Developers & Engineers · Designers & Product People · Founders · People Who Code for Fun **🎨 If You Create Things** · Writers & Journalists · Photographers · Artists & Painters · Anyone With a Side Obsession 👉 **You can also join via Luma if this event reaches capacity: https://luma.com/0y2yd2q4** Please RSVP “yes” only if you can make it, so we can save a seat for you and others on the waitlist. **📝 Note:** You are welcome to attend our social meetup! The event is free. The space is generously hosted for us — the only thing we ask is that you support it by buying a drink, etc. A small gesture that keeps evenings like this possible. **🤝 Community:** This is a space built on curiosity and respect. We keep it that way — for everyone.

Welcome to Sunday Tech Coffee. This is a **networking** event for those in the tech industry in Berlin. We are usually inside and to the right. Ask the barista/bartender if you can't find us.

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!

We are going to build together with all the CLIs!

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD

## 🤝 Host Information A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus 💡 About the Workshop AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge. This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow. Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided! Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site. ###
