Craftsmanship

We’re excited to share that after a break, **Outreach meetups are back!** 🎉 This time, we’re returning with a session focused on **engineering leadership**! This event is designed to inspire engineers and managers who want to unlock their full leadership potential without burning out along the way. Whether you’re considering a move into management, are new in the role, or already leading teams at scale, this meetup will offer **practical insights, real stories, and actionable takeaways** from experienced engineering leaders. *** ## 🗓 Talks Schedule 🕕 **17:30 – Doors open** 🎙 **18:00 – Talk 1** **Christian Galatolo, Engineering Director @ Outreach** **How Senior Engineering Managers Scale Without Burning Out** Early in my management career, I unknowingly relied on principles to build a successful new business unit. Years later, with more experience and higher stakes, I learned which principles truly scale and which mistakes quietly turn managers into bottlenecks. This talk shares those lessons, grounded in real successes, real failures, and real pressure. 🎙 **18:40 – Talk 2** **Michael Ruml, Director of Product Engineering @ Mews** **From Surviving to Scaling: Lessons from the First Year of Engineering Management** The transition from engineer to manager is one of the toughest shifts in tech. In this talk, Michael reflects on his first year as an Engineering Manager, unpacking the common traps, hard lessons, and mindset changes that make the difference between burnout and growth. A must-see for anyone navigating—or considering—the move into leadership. 🍺 **19:30 – Networking** After the talks, stick around for networking, discussions, and getting to know fellow engineers and leaders. Outreach will provide **delicious snacks and drinks**, so you definitely won’t go hungry😉 We’re really looking forward to seeing you there! 🚀 \-\-\- *By taking part in this event, you grant the event organizers full rights to the use of images resulting from the photography/video filming, and any reproductions or adaptations of the images for fundraising, publicity, or other purposes.

Bitcoin Knots a podobné implementace se snaží vynucovat content policy na úrovni mempoolu a odmítají transakce považované za nežádoucí (označované za spam). Lukáš, náš expert na Rust a bitcoin, vám osvětlí tento problém v teorii i v praxi. **🦀 18:00 - 19:00: PREZENTACE** Tato přednáška vysvětluje, proč je filtrování transakcí na základě obsahu neúčinné v jakékoli vrstvě bitcoinového protokolového stacku. Představí dva vzájemně se doplňující argumenty. 1. Z pohledu topologie sítě: v gossip síti, kde i malá menšina uzlů zůstává permisivní, transakce s vysokou pravděpodobností obejdou filtrované uzly. 2. Z pohledu informační teorie: každý protokol, který je dostatečně expresivní, aby byl užitečný, nutně umožňuje steganografické kódování. Prostor platných transakcí je natolik velký, že do něj lze vložit libovolná data způsobem nerozlišitelným od běžné ekonomické aktivity. Filtrování na základě obsahu tak čelí protivníkovi s větším počtem stupňů volnosti než má samotný filtr. **🦀 19:00 - 19:30: LIVE DEMO + Q&A** Součástí prezentace bude živá ukázka agresivního relay uzlu napsaného v Rustu, běžícího na mainnetu, která v reálném čase ukáže tok transakcí napříč různými implementacemi uzlů. **🦀 19:30** **\- 22:00: NETWORKING** Po přibližně 60minutové prezentaci a Q&A zůstáváme na networking u piva, zhruba do 22:00. * **Vstup s registrací zdarma.** * **Pivo zdarma** pro prvních 50 hostů. * **Odměny** za nejlepší otázky. * **Knihy** od Braiins **zdarma**. **🦀 PŘEDNÁŠEJÍCÍ** Lukáš Hozda je expert na Rust, autor knihy Building Bitcoin in Rust a lektor Rust kurzů na Univerzitě Karlově. Přes den pracuje v pražské bitcoinové softwarové společnosti Braiins, kde jeho oficiální pracovní titul zní Braiins Superman. * Stáhněte si jeho eBook [Building Bitcoin in Rust zdarma](https://braiins.com/books/building-bitcoin-in-rust). * Sledujte Lukáše na X: [https://x.com/LukasHozda](https://x.com/LukasHozda) Pokud vás zajímá seriózní Rust engineering, přidejte se k nám. 🔗 https://braiins.com

**PUZZLE CARD WORKSHOP - FREE EVENT - ARTS & CRAFTS!** February 26 Přístav 7, Holešovice (V Přístavu 24) From 7:00 PM Before love notes were instant, they were folded. Carefully. With intention. In the 18th and 19th centuries, people used Victorian puzzle purses to hide poems, romantic messages, and tiny keepsakes — sometimes even a lock of hair — inside beautifully folded paper. You had to open them step by step to get to the heart of it. The idea comes from Japanese Tato origami, and later became a popular (and very personal) way to court in England and America. No envelopes, no seals — just clever folds keeping the secret safe. In this workshop, we’re giving this old tradition a modern life. You’ll make your own puzzle purse using beautiful paper, and turn it into a card, a love note, or a small gift wrapper that actually feels special. No experience needed. Just hands, paper, and a bit of curiosity.

Filozofování o životě a o všem ostatním pro všechny, bez vstupného a bez přihlášky: Co si přejete, s čím si lámete hlavu, co Vás nenechá spát, o čem dumáte, o čem sníte, co Vám vrtá hlavou, čeho se bojíte, na co vzpomínáte, o čem přemýšlíte? Nenechte tyto věci jen pro sebe, zkuste rozhovor s jinými lidmi. U nás nejde jen o to, si popovídat, o to taky, ale to máte i jinde. U našeho stolu se pokusíme, spolu *filozofovat*. Nejdříve se dohodneme, jaké téma budeme diskutovat, a pak se do toho pustíme, budeme přemýšlet, rozmýšlet, promýšlet a zamýšlet se, až se nám z toho bude točit hlava, přitom nám budou podporou filozofové všech věků, abychom jí neztratili, tu hlavu. Ani byste nevěřili, jak filozofie může být osvěžující…

Ahoj, s přicházejícím jarem, pojďme se projít. Karlín je trendy oblast se spoustou zajímavostí, tak vás zvu výšlap po tom nejlepším, co tam mají. Půjdeme lehce svižněji, abychom nepřimrzli.

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA
