In Bad Company - the comedian’s best friend experience
You know that friend you always say yes to, even though — or maybe because — you have no idea what you're getting into?
That's what this is.
In Bad Company is a one-hour stand-up show hosted by Sepideh Kaav, featuring 2–3 of Berlin's best comedians at one of Mitte's coolest bars, HIER WO DU STRAHLST. Expect a night of great comedy, terrible decisions, and the kind of socializing where by the end of the night we all somehow know each other a little too well.
No topic is off limits. No one is fully safe. Come with friends, come with a date, come alone, honestly, especially come alone, maybe you meet your future best friend or soulmate here.
🍸 HIER WO DU STRAHLST
⏰ Thursday at 8:30 PM (CEST)
Doors: 20:30
Show: 21:00 to 22:00
SU&W - XKölln Thursday
Come along, grab a coffee, shut up, and write! We will do at least two sessions of each 45 minutes of writing and two breaks. We will start the first writing session at 10:45.
For space reasons we only allow a limited number of attendees, so please update your RSVP if you can't come. We'll probably be grouped around the large table in the back room's center. In the summer, also outside.
Looking forward to seeing you there!

**Referent:** Martin Boßlet, Berater, Dozent und Softwareentwickler
**Datum und Uhrzeit:** Donnerstag, 30.04.2026, 18:00 – ca. 19:30 Uhr
**Ort:** Online mit Zoom
Seit zwei Jahren reden alle über KI-gestützte Entwicklung - und vieles klingt gleich: Gestern war Prompt Engineering der Beruf der Zukunft, heute ist es Context Engineering. Claude Code gegen Codex, GitHub Copilot vs. Cursor, Tool-Vergleiche hier und da. Die Älteren unter uns werden sich mit einem Schmunzeln an Vim vs. Emacs erinnert fühlen. Während CEOs bis hin zum Digitalminister den Untergang der programmierenden Zunft ausrufen, wenden sich viele Entwickelnde frustriert ab. "Das ist nichts für mich" - diesen Satz hört man oft. Die Branche scheint sich in zwei Lager zu spalten: auf der einen Seite diejenigen, die KI fast schon aus Trotz konsequent ablehnen, auf der anderen KI-Propheten, die zumindest der Erzählung nach ihren kompletten Alltag mit KI bestreiten und der Konkurrenz schon längst meilenweit voraus sind.
Die eigentliche Frage lautet: Warum gehen die Erfahrungen so weit auseinander? Die These dieses Vortrags: Der Engpass liegt meist weder im Modell noch im nächsten "Tool du jour", sondern in fehlendem, verstreutem oder nur implizit vorhandenem Kontext. Der Schlüssel zu erfolgreicher KI-Zusammenarbeit liegt deshalb nicht in besseren Tools oder clevereren Prompts, sondern in der ältesten Technologie der Menschheit - Sprache. Genauer gesagt: in Markdown als universeller Schnittstelle zwischen Mensch und Maschine.
Anhand von Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), Mermaid-Diagrammen, **[AGENTS.md](https://www.linkedin.com/safety/go/?url=http%3A%2F%2FAGENTS%2Emd&urlhash=jh-H&mt=F7bnie71WnYrGR3aD-BiSMeaQCiWniKDxaG65SbBgq37lq5u7OZ1P6NjRp-YTlrvhyBy30Lf47AWfYCmtVLwNg99MBUc-2e8qYUzQLXNViKKD4LeW5gizS3yWw&isSdui=true)**-Datei und Agenten-Skills zeige ich, warum Text-First Development kein Retro-Trick ist, sondern ein praktikables Arbeitsmodell für die KI-Ära. Wer Architektur, Entscheidungen und Konventionen in Text statt in Tickets, Chat-Verläufen oder auch nur an der Kaffeemaschine festhält, bekommt bessere KI-Ergebnisse, mehr Präzision und weniger Nacharbeit. Und ganz nebenbei entsteht endlich wieder etwas, das in der Softwareentwicklung jahrzehntelang zu teuer war: aktuelle, brauchbare Dokumentation für Mensch und Maschine.
Kein Talk über Prompt-Hacks, Tool-Vergleiche oder das Tool der Woche, sondern über eine einfache, praktische Frage: Wie müssen wir Software bauen, damit KI-Unterstützung nicht nur beeindruckend wirkt, sondern dauerhaft nützt? Die Antwort ist überraschend einfach: kein Tool-Zirkus, kein Hokuspokus. Einfach nur Text.

I WRITE – A Silent Writing Club (Just You & Your Words)
Welcome to **I WRITE**, a gentle space for anyone who wants to write—quietly, freely, and without judgement.
We are a Berlin community of writers who gather together weekly to write, talk and recharge after a long week. Some of us journal, some write novels, some do academic writing, many people come without a project in mind and see where the inspiration flow takes them. This is a space to simply show up and write, a safe place to be yourself and to release all your layers onto the paper.
There’s no set topic, no feedback circle, and no pressure. Just warm people, a calm atmosphere, and time dedicated to yourself.
🗓️ **Agenda:**
* 14:30 - 15:00 **→** 30 min arriving, optional socialising (arrive early, meet other writers)

* 16:00–16:30 **→** 30 mins break + optional chat or solo time (stay and chat or go celebrate the rest of your Saturday)
* 16:30–17:30 → 1 more hour of silent writing (for those staying)
* 17:30–18:00 → 30 mins of chat, and leaving
🎒 **Bring:**

* Something to drink (there is no cafeteria, unfortunately)
* Your current project or a blank page
* Yourself, exactly as you are
**👉 Responsibility:**
* Our location is limited; thus, I am kindly asking you to RSVP only if you are willing to attend.
**📍Location:**
* We meet at **Heinrich Schulz Library in Charlottenburg**. In the library, go look for the Gruppenraum; I will be waiting for you there. Any trouble finding the room, I will come to meet you outside.
* 🚇 U7 **Richard-Wagner-Platz**
* 🚌 M45 Bus **U Richard-Wagner-Platz**
**About me:**
Hi, my name is Anastasia. I started this writing club back in May 2025. Since then, it has been hosted weekly at the Heinrich Schulz Library (who is kind enough to allow us to use this room for free). Over this time, I’ve been privileged to meet some of the most creative and kind minds in Berlin. And I would be happy if you joined us. Whether you're an experienced writer or just at the beginning of your journey, you're welcome. If you know how to hold a pen or how to type, there will always be a space for you.
Let's write together!

Kreative Schreibwerkstatt in der ufaFabrik Tempelhof
Für Mitglieder von Text Collective Berlin ist die Teilnahme an dieser Veranstaltung kostenlos.
Nicht-Mitglieder werden um einen Teilnahmebeitrag von zehn Euro gebeten. Hier buchen: [https://textcollective.de/ticket](https://textcollective.de/ticket)
Es handelt sich um einen moderierten Workshop.
Kreative Schreibübung mit anschließender Diskussion zum Erfahrungsaustausch, Inspiration und Motivation zu sammeln. Ein Raum für alle, die kreativ schreiben möchten – egal ob du gerade erst anfängst oder schon länger schreibst.
**Jeden ersten Samstag des Monats von 15:00 Uhr bis 17:00 Uhr in der ufaFabrik in Tempelhof.**
**Was dich erwartet:**
In unseren Treffen arbeiten wir mit abwechslungsreichen Schreibimpulsen, die neue Perspektiven eröffnen und spielerisches Experimentieren ermöglichen. Du schreibst direkt vor Ort, teilst deine Texte mit der Gruppe (freiwillig!) und erhältst konstruktives Feedback.
Die Atmosphäre ist offen und unterstützend. Hier darf ein Text noch unfertig sein, eine Idee noch roh, ein Gedanke noch unausgereift. In dieser Atmosphäre gegenseitiger Wertschätzung entsteht der Mut, sich auszuprobieren und die eigene Stimme zu entdecken. Wir lesen einander vor, geben Rückmeldung, ermutigen uns gegenseitig und praktizieren das Zuhören.
SU&W In-person Mitte
Come along, grab a coffee, shut up, and write! We will do at least two sessions of each 45 minutes of writing and two breaks. We will start the first writing session at 11:15.
**For space reasons, we are limited to a certain number of attendees, so please update your RSVP if you can't come**. We often have a large waiting list, and not updating your RSVP or not showing up if you do RSVP yes means that others miss out. We also ask that if you do change your RSVP, do it with reasonable notice. Thanks! We typically take over all of the cafe, but try to share tables if you can to allow space for other customers.
If you are new, come and say hello, as we know that suddenly going quiet for 45 minutes and staring at that blank page can be intimidating when it's your first time. We have a lot of long-term regulars who will be happy to help you feel welcome.
In between sessions, we have a Telegram chat: https://t.me/joinchat/ERW3pxD5kfELGeWs9SUhjw

Columbus Comedy Improv Meetup at Gresso's!
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!
Duty vs. Results: What Makes an Action Moral?
When judging morality, should we prioritize **intentions/duty** or **outcomes/results**? It introduces two influential philosophers as representatives of these approaches.
* **Immanuel Kant (deontology):** An action is moral when it is done from **duty** and follows rational, universal principles (the **categorical imperative**). Certain acts—like lying—are wrong regardless of the consequences; you can’t do a wrong thing for a right reason.
* **John Stuart Mill (utilitarian consequentialism):** The morality of an action is determined by its **effects**, specifically how much **happiness/well-being** it produces. Mill argues that some pleasures are “higher” than others, and that good intentions don’t redeem harmful outcomes.
## Discussion Questions
1. **The lying dilemma:** A murderer comes to your door and asks if your friend is hiding inside. Kant would say you must not lie.
2. **Can good intentions rescue a bad outcome?**
3. **The organ harvest problem:** A surgeon has five patients dying of organ failure and one healthy patient in for a checkup. Killing the one to harvest organs would save five lives, and the math works out for the utilitarian. Why does this feel so deeply wrong? Is that feeling a point in Kant's favor, or just a bias we should overcome?
4. **Do rules need exceptions?** Kant insists moral rules must be universal, with no exceptions. But most of us can imagine extreme scenarios where any rule seems like it should bend. Does the need for exceptions fatally undermine deontology, or is the strength of the system precisely that it refuses to bend?
5. **Who gets to calculate the consequences?** Utilitarianism asks us to maximize good outcomes, but we're notoriously bad at predicting consequences. If we can't reliably know the results of our actions, is it practical to base our entire moral system on outcomes? Does this uncertainty push us back toward rules and principles?
6. **Everyday morality:** Think about a real moral decision you've made recently, even a small one. Did you reason more like a Kantian (what's the right thing to do in principle?) or more like a utilitarian (what will produce the best result?)? Do most people naturally lean one way?
7. **Justice vs. the greater good:** A town can prevent a deadly plague by sacrificing one innocent person. The greater good is clearly served. But is it just? Can an action be morally right and deeply unjust at the same time?
8. **The big synthesis question:** Are these two systems actually opposed, or do they often arrive at the same answers by different paths? Is it possible that we need both: rules to guide us in the moment and consequences to evaluate systems and policies over time?
