Complexity

**We’re back!** After a break, the Berlin Tech Leads meetup is officially revived **\- and this time IRL at Berlin Vinted office\.** **We’ve missed the deep dives, the architectural debates, and the networking. To kick things off, we’re tackling one of the fastest-moving landscapes in the industry right now: the intersection of Engineering and Customer Support.** **About the Event** Customer Support is often the first place where AI moves from "experimental" to "mission-critical." For Tech Leads, this shift isn't just about plugging in a basic chatbot; it’s about re-engineering the entire lifecycle of a ticket and how our systems actually interact with our users. In this meetup, we’re looking under the hood of the support stack. We’ll discuss how the landscape is being reshaped by LLMs, the shift toward autonomous agents, and the real technical hurdles of building multi-modal support systems. **Talks:** * [Pau Agustín](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pau-agust%C3%ADn-granell-6420a5139/) & Team Help Experience (vinted.com): "Scaling Support: How Vinted Manages Tens of Thousands of Tickets Every Day" * [Yam Marcovitz](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAAbVVAwBOgouy-uT1QB1ixhqrafAv1kNxQk) (parlant.io) "Building consistently aligned agents with Parlant" * [Richard Lohwasser](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAABRCCmYBD9PS9O73AjQ244LC4Gc_NMUcnsY) (enneo.ai): "Applying AI across all channels in real-life customer service at scale: What works, what doesn't, and where we're heading to?" *Just a quick reminder: if you'd like to take the stage and speak at a future Berlin Tech Leads meetup, feel free to drop a message to one of the organisers.*

The Moody Comedy Show is an interactive stand-up experience where the audience sets the tone! Just like in life, we all have different moods—happy, angry, excited, or maybe just “meh”—and comedians are no different. Each performer will embrace their mood on stage, delivering jokes that match their vibe, whether they’re feeling upbeat, frustrated, or existential. But that’s not all—you get to join in too! Audience members will write down their mood, and we’ll pull from a hat, riffing on your emotions in real-time. It’s a comedy show that evolves with the energy in the room https://www.eventbrite.de/e/moody-comedy-showcase-tickets-1276031276899?aff=oddtdtcreator

Außerdem machen gute Freundinnen einfach Spaß.** . Deshalb biete ich Freundschaftsworkshop an. . Manche sagen: "Es ist schwierig, in Berlin gute Freundinnen zu finden." Berlin, die Stadt der 1000 Möglichkeiten ... ich kenne das auch. . **🌸 Dann machen wir einen Workshop!** 1. Maximal 40 Frauen. 2. Eine leichte Moderation führt durch den Abend 3. Ihr lernt Euch kennen und habt Spaß. 4. Wer mag, trifft sich wieder. . Du wirst überrascht sein, wie vertraut Du mit vielen nach 3 Stunden sein wirst - so, als ob Ihr Euch schon lange kennt. . **🔱 4 Jahre Arbeit - 1 Workshop** Vier Jahre habe ich geforscht und ausprobiert, wie Menschen Freunde werden & was die Magie der Freundschaft ausmacht. Das Ergebnis ist dieser Abend. . Praxisnahe, schnell umsetzbare Tipps, die Du schnell in den Alltag umsetzen kannst. Kleine Happen zur Theorie. - Und vor allem: Kennenlernen & Spaß haben. Wir probieren einfach miteinander aus. . Eine Teilnehmerin sagte mal zu mir: * "Georg, das ist so eine angenehme Atmosphäre. Danke, dass Du das machst." . Was soll ich sagen? Stimmt. Das ist mein Anliegen 🤗. . . **🎁 Diese Methoden kannst Du in Deinen Alltag mitnehmen.** Ab sofort kannst Du Menschen besser und persönlicher kennenlernen – und damit tiefe Verbindungen und bessere Freundschaften aufbauen. . . **⏰ Die Türen sind offen ab 18:45 Uhr.** * Deinen Mantel aufhängen, WC, eine Runde schwatzen und los geht's... . **❓ Darf ich wiederkommen?** Es gibt nur wenige Veranstaltungen, bei denen man wirklich miteinander ins Gespräch kommt.

Da sind wir. 🤗 . **👱🏽‍♂️ Warum moderierst Du als Mann diesen Workshop?** . Hi, ich bin Georg. Ich weiß, ich bin ein Mann. Warum moderiere ich dann diesen Workshop? . Abenteuer Freundschaft ist mein Beruf. Am Anfang war ich auf Männer-Freundschaften spezialisiert. Überraschenderweise waren 60 Prozent der Newsletter-Empfängerinnen Frauen. Frauen scheinen die Wichtigkeit guter Freundschaften viel mehr zu spüren. . Deshalb habe ich letztes Jahr angefangen, Workshops für Frauen anzubieten. Soziale Träger, das Rathaus Schöneberg und das Frauenzentrum Begine haben mich bereits für Freundinnen-Workshops gebucht. Im Frauenzentrum moderiert eine Bekannte die Workshops.... denn da darf ich noch nicht mal rein :). . Unseren Workshop werde ich zurückhaltend moderieren. Ich weiß mit der Situation umzugehen. Das ist Euer Raum. . Für die Männer gibt es alle zwei Wochen am Dienstag einen Männer-Workshop, der regelmäßig gut besucht ist. . . **Mehr über Abenteuer Freundschaft & mich:** 🌎 [www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de](http://%5Bhttps://www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de/%5D(https://www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de/) "\[https://www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de\](https://www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de)") . . **👋🏽 Get in touch & stay in touch:** . **✈ Telegram-Kanal: [t.me/abenteuer_freundschaft](http://t.me/abenteuer_freundschaft)** für Events, Workshops & Neuste Erkenntnisse aus der Freundschaftsforschung (Überschriften) . **✉ Freundschafts-Newsletter:** [https://abenteuer-freundschaft.de/newsletter](https://abenteuer-freundschaft.de/newsletter) Alle 4 Wochen das Neuste aus der Freundschaftsforschung; oft seltener, denn ich schreibe nur dann, wenn es wirklich etwas zu berichten gibt. . **🔥 6 Zutaten großartiger Freundschaften** Seit 2020 forsche ich, was großartige Freundschaften wirklich ausmacht.

Tolle Berlinerinnen und Berliner, als ich schreibe, sitze ich im Wald zwischen Buchen und Eichen auf meinem Campingstuhl und genieße die Ruhe des Sonnenlichts. Suchst du nach Freiheit von dem Lärm der Szene, Lärm der Stadt? Möchtest du Brücken mit interkulturellen, diversen Leuten aufbauen? Dieses Jahr möchte ich unbedingt neue Leute, die Tiefe und Empathie haben kennenlernen. Diesen Leuten meine Zeit geben, und gegenseitige Freundschaften hoffentlich aufbauen. Selbst glaube ich, dass Mädels und Jungs einander nicht verstehen können, wenn der Sinn von einer Person 100% einer Geschlecht ist und die Person keines der Geschlecht gegenüber kennt. Idealerweise sollte der Sinn 50/50 weiblich/männlich sein, dass wir uns ideal verstehen können. Selbst bin ich Künstler, der sich für Farbphysik (Colour Phenomena) interessiert. Zum Beispiel ein roses Kirschbaum in der blauen morgen Stunde. Oder blaue Bäume im Licht eines bedeckten Sommer Tag, auch wenn jeder glaubt, dass man sachlich weiß, ‚Bäumen sind grün!‘ Colour sind, glaube ich, hauptsächlich weibliche Phänomene. Und als Künstler empfand ich seit langem eine Affinität für Colour. Das Bild oben ist ein Kunstwerk von mir. Ich möchte die ruhigen Leuten erreichen, also der Treff ist entweder Online, per Signal Messenger (Link zur Gruppe im Kommentar) um neue Verbindungen leicht zu machen, oder auch sogar besser persönlich, wenn du dich spontan unterwegs sein will und persönlich treffen will. Wenn du mich persönlich triffst setzen wir uns auf eine Wiese, eventuell in der Wuhlheide, oder auf dem Tempelhofer Feld. Schick mir eine Nachricht per Signal Gruppe und wir können uns vereinbaren. Ich freue mich neue Leute kennenzulernen!

In May, [Bruno Caballero](https://github.com/bruno-ah-um) will show us how to target hardware accelerators from Java with MLIR based on [his fork of the OpenJDK Project Babylon](https://github.com/bruno-ah-um/openjdk-babylon-mlir-tosa). Bruno leads the Java Virtual Machines Engineering team at [MicroDoc](http://www.microdoc.com), which develops JVMs and maintains ports across various processors and operating systems. In this talk, we’ll explore a toy project that translates Java code into MLIR for the TOSA dialect, which is used for AI and accelerator workloads. We’ll briefly introduce current approaches (e.g., TornadoVM and Babylon/HAT), before looking at how this project reuses existing compiler infrastructure instead of building new backends. Finally, we’ll touch on whether DSLs should be embedded in general-purpose languages like Java or designed as standalone languages. Small snacks and drinks will be available. There is always space for outside topics and discussions. If you have specific questions, please bring them. Looking forward to meeting everyone again!

✨ Women in Agile Berlin Event ✨ Deep Work, Real Impact – Reclaiming Focus in a World of Endless Tasks Somewhere, not that far away, a talented woman is not struggling because she lacks skill, ambition, or drive… …but because her day is filled with everything except the work that truly matters. Admin. Coordination. Emotional labor. The invisible glue that keeps everything running, but slowly pulls focus away from real impact. Have you ever ended a full day and wondered: 👉 What did I actually move forward today? 👉 Why does being “busy” not feel meaningful? 👉 When was the last time I worked with real, uninterrupted focus? The idea that some people are “natural multitaskers” sounds like praise, but in reality, it often hides a system that rewards constant availability over meaningful contribution. At our next Women in Agile Berlin event, Saskia Ruschke will explore why deep, focused work is one of the most powerful, and most underprotected, resources we have. ✨ Together, we will explore: • Why constant task switching drains more than just time • How invisible work quietly takes over our days • What it really takes to protect focus in modern work environments • Practical ways to create space for deep work again 👉 What would change if your focus was truly protected? 👉 What kind of impact could you create then? Join us for an evening of reflection, practical tools, and honest conversation. #deepwork #impact #focus #meetup #agile #scrum #meetupberlin #womeninagile #womeninagileberlin

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.

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy.
