**The Vibe:** Agentic AI is moving too fast for „best practices.“ We are here to experiment, debug, and learn from each other. **The Plan:** I’m hosting a micro-meetup for software engineers who are actively exploring autonomous AI agents. Whether you are building with CrewAI, LangGraph, AutoGen, or experimenting with local LLMs – let’s compare notes. This is a „Lab“ session. We will: \* **Show & Tell:** Share what you are working on (even if it’s broken). \* **Dissect Approaches:** Discuss how to handle context, loops, and hallucinations in production. \* **Hands-on:** Bring your laptop. We try different setups live. The Logistics: 📍 Location: My Office in Grunewald area – Boardroom. 🎟 Capacity: Strictly limited to 6 seats. 🍕 Food/Drinks: Snacks and drinks provided. Who is this for? **Professionals eager to actively shape the future and elevate software engineering through Agentic AI.** We are looking for people ready to co-create the next generation of workflows, not just watch from the sidelines. Since we are a very small group, please only register if you are willing to actively participate in the discussion and hands-on lab work.

**Sip and Laugh-Stand Up and Free Wine!** Start your Saturday evening with finely aged jokes and free wine (3 glasses). Prepare your palate for a tasting of Berlin Comedy and delicious wine. A full bodied experience filled with robust laughter and quality libations. Seats are limited for a relaxed and intimate experience. Perfect for dates, pre-games, and for anyone who loves wine. 17:45 come early and get your first glass to enjoy. 18:00 is show time, don’t worry there will be refills administered throughout the show. 19:00 the show will have concluded. Buy a bottle before you go and continue the good times!

Celebrating the burdens of our privilege and lovingly pegging social norms from behind, Beros dances between self-love and self-sabotage with sharp standup and playful audience interaction in her 3rd solo following 'Creampie Curious' and 'Creampie Clarity'. She straddles the topic of motherhood, unravels the attraction of narcissists and fine-tunes her reward systems. 'High Hoe' has toured Germany and Luxembourg and enjoyed a successful full run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2025. **Audience reviews of 'High Hoe' from Edinburgh Fringe 2025** "This was such a fun show and I genuinely couldn't stop laughing! It was so dark, a little twisted, and so wrong in all the right places! Viciously relatable and finally saying all the 18+ thoughts out loud that you're ashamed of finding funny! 10/10, no notes, go watch!" - Sarah "Wickedly funny AND educational! This isn’t Anna writing some stuff that she thinks you’re going to find funny - this is real life and hilarious." - Adrian Bowen "Anna is the full package. Hilarious, smart, beautiful and edgy. This show is fantastic. 10/10. Enjoyed it so much that I also went to see Anna’s Oversharing show. It’s just as good! Do yourself a favour and check it out!" - Nev "BRILLIANT! 10/10. Educational, hilarious, witty. Excellent comedic timing. Anna’s show is by far the funniest I have seen at Fringe. When she does crowd work it’s awesome, would love to see more of that in her show! Inspired me to pursue comedy myself. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️" - Oli May **About Anna Beros** Kiwi born, Melbourne raised and Berlin saved, Beros has been a full-time professional standup comedian and producer since 2022, erecting her comedy production label, Adults ONLY Comedy Berlin in 2019. Beros hosts and headlines her 3 weekly open mics and 2 weekly showcases and is a regular headliner in major European cities. She’s written for Comedy Central DE, hosts the comedy channel, Ersties Nonsense and has the podcast Adults ONLY Comedy Berlin with 161 episodes. Check it out! Beros celebrates life’s struggles with cheeky incisive standup and warming audience interaction. She opened for Jeff Arcuri at Admiralspalast twice in Berlin 2025, for April Macie on US army bases in 2024, and for Ian Fidance in 2019. She tours Europe and enjoyed successful runs at the Edinburgh Fringe 2023-2025, Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2023-2024, Leicester Comedy Festival 2024 and Adelaide Fringe 2023 with her solos 'Creampie Curious', ‘Creampie Clarity’ and ‘High Hoe’. **Reviewed by The Age at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2024,** "Beros is a full-time standup and her hours on stage are evident in her skill at taking the temperature of the audience and bringing them along with her as she veers into darker material." **Check out what she's been up to on instagram [https://www.instagram.com/afberos/](https://www.instagram.com/afberos/) and on YouTube [https://youtube.com/@afberos?si=VUZ-vkIxlyb-tW7s](https://youtube.com/@afberos?si=VUZ-vkIxlyb-tW7s)** **Venue: MEIN FREUND HARVEY** S/U-Yorckstraße, U-Kleistpark, U-Bülowstraße Your new favourite bar in Schöneberg.

If you love leaving a show thinking “Was that art? Was that comedy? Should I call my therapist?” - then congratulations, you’ve found your new favorite night in town. At THE GLITCH, chaos is the headliner. Expect the unexpected: a cocktail of unhinged stand-up, sketch, improv, clown, drag, characters, music, impressions and other things we can’t legally describe. Every week is a brand-new fever dream with a rotating lineup, so even we don't know what’s gonna happen. What we can promise: it will be weird, it will be funny, and it will be unlike any other show in town. What we can’t promise: that you’ll leave the same person who walked in. 🤸🏻‍♂️Hosted by Maya Upchurch, Kat Nip, Luī Beča (on rotation) 🗓️Every Sunday 📍Agata Bar - Weichselstraße 55, 12045 Berlin ⏰ show starts at 8.00 Doors 7.30 👋reserve a seat on Eventbrite 💸donation based 👅English language For performers - sign up in the google sheet: https://shorturl.at/kp4FY ❗ and don’t come here to do the same 5 minutes you’ve been doing for 6 years to fuel your self esteem, try something new, take a risk 🤸🏻‍♂️🤩

Join this **Interview Simulation** session — to sharpen the skills for both interviews **and** architectural pitches. 💡 How it works The event is split into three parts: 1. **Most common behavioral & HR questions** \- you will receive a printed list of behavioral/HR questions and we brainstorm tips on how to prepare for them 2. **Interview Simulation (10 minute rounds)** – One participant acts as the interviewee and answers a round of behavioral and design-focused questions. Each other participant gets to ask him one interview question. 3. **Feedback Round** – The group provides feedback on communication, structure, and clarity. Constructive criticism is encouraged. 💡You will be asked: * **Behavioral questions** (“Tell me about yourself”, “Describe a challenge you faced...”) * **Technical questions** (based on your tech stack) * **Light design problems** (high-level reasoning, not code) No need to prepare anything in advance — just bring curiosity and an open mind. Feel free to bring your CV if you’d like feedback from others, or share a few words if you’re currently job hunting. If so, we will also brainstorm answers to more common questions that you were asked. Whether you’re preparing for an interview or simply want to grow as a software designer or architect, this session is for you.

Hi everyone, join us on Sunday, January 25th, at Castle Mitte for a fun afternoon to connect and discuss MBTI personality, psychology and other interesting topics. Looking forward to seeing you there! Take a test to learn your type: https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test https://sakinorva.net/functions Some basic info on functions and type: https://www.verywellmind.com/the-myers-briggs-type-indicator-2795583 https://www.truity.com/blog/beginners-guide-understanding-mbti-cognitive-functions Our group aims to bring together people who are interested in self-development and self-improvement using MBTI and cognitive functions, in order to learn more about the theory and share our experiences with it. Another reason for this meetup is to meet people with whom you might potentially get along really well based on your type. This can lead to meaningful connections :)
Although the meetup is geared towards people who are interested in learning about MBTI theory and using it to improve their lives, our conversations aren’t only about that! We talk about anything and everything. So it's more like a regular social meetup with the aim of avoiding small talk :)

## Learn Infrastructure-as-Code (the FUN Way) — Through Minecraft 🎮☁️ **Joint Meetup: Azure CBUS × Columbus HashiCorp User Group × DevOps Columbus** What if learning Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code didn’t feel like a whitepaper… but more like a game? Join us for a joint Azure CBUS, Columbus HashiCorp User Group, and DevOps Columbus meetup where **Mark Tinderholt** \(Principal Architect\, Microsoft Azure \| HashiCorp Ambassador \| “The Azure Terraformer”\) shows how **Minecraft** can be used as a surprisingly powerful way to understand real-world Infrastructure-as-Code concepts. In this session, Mark will demonstrate how Terraform and Azure can be used to provision, configure, and manage Minecraft servers—while teaching the same patterns you’d use for production cloud infrastructure. ### What we’ll cover * Infrastructure-as-Code fundamentals using **Terraform** * Provisioning real infrastructure on **Azure** * Applying **IaC best practices** (immutability, repeatability, versioning) * How playful environments like Minecraft make complex concepts *click* * Why learning through experimentation beats click-ops every time ### Who should attend * Developers, platform engineers, and cloud engineers * Terraform users (new or experienced) * Anyone curious about Infrastructure-as-Code but tired of boring examples * Minecraft fans who want to see it used in a totally unexpected way No prior Minecraft experience required—just curiosity and a willingness to learn infrastructure the fun way. Come for the blocks, stay for the Terraform. 🧱➡️📐 Want to be a speaker? submit your talk to our Call for Presenters!!! https://sessionize.com/azure-cbus-2026/

### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way? This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents. Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to: Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture. Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases. Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI. Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem. Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.
