Frontend Crew Talk: When tools move faster than us
**Frontend developers in 2026 are spoiled for choice. New frameworks promising freedom, AI assistants promising to handle the boring parts. But between the framework debates and the quiet burnout, what actually delivers in day-to-day work?**
Join us on **Tuesday, May 26**, for an evening focused on the honest reality of frontend development in 2026. Four engineers from Applifting and Mews will share what's actually working—and what isn't—in framework decisions, AI workflows, and the human side of keeping up with constant change.
Let's meet in the **Applifting meetup space**, both in person and online. **We’ll start at 18:00.**
👉[ Register here](https://applifting.io/events/frontend-crew-talk-when-tools-move-faster-than-us) 👈 **if you want to attend in person. Spaces are limited and our event planner Anetka would be sad if we had to turn you away at the door!**
**Who’s speaking?**
**[Michal Čížek](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michal-%C4%8D%C3%AD%C5%BEek/)**, senior frontend developer at Applifting, will open with a side-by-side comparison of Next.js and TanStack Start—two frameworks with fundamentally different philosophies—to help you pick for your next project.
**[Jan Marek](https://www.linkedin.com/in/j4n-marek/)**, senior software engineer at Mews, will follow with how frustration and laziness can guide useful AI workflows, automating each “I don't want to do this manually” from Slack thread to announcement.
**[Tereza Šimková](https://www.linkedin.com/in/simkovat/)**, also a senior frontend developer at Applifting, will offer an honest, non-technical look at the hidden psychological toll of working with AI coding assistants.
Then, they will be joined for the panel discussion by **[Matyas Mihálka](https://www.linkedin.com/in/matyasmih%C3%A1lka/)**, frontend tech lead at Applifting, bringing a grounded take on what AI coding tools actually deliver day-to-day and how to adopt them without burning out.
**We look forward to meeting you!**
**Schedule:**
**17:30 – Doors open**
* Get your ticket ready, say hello to others, and have a drink with us. 🥂
**18:00 – Introduction by Filip Kirschner**
* Our co-founder Filip will give you a short welcome and introduce our speakers.
**18:15 – Two philosophies, one decision: Next.js vs TanStack Start in 2026 with Michal Čížek**
* *Next.js has shaped React for years. TanStack Start is the challenger with a fundamentally different philosophy. Which one should you pick for your next project?*
**18:30 – Boring driven development: Let your laziness and frustration guide your creativity in your AI workflows with Jan Marek**
* *From Slack thread to announcement: how “I don't want to do this manually” can turn each step of development into automation.*
**18:45 — We need to talk: Confessions of a frontend dev's AI journey with Tereza Šimková**
* *An honest, non-technical chat about the hidden psychological toll of our evolving relationship with AI.*
**19:00 — Short break**
* *Time to stretch, refill drinks, and chat a bit.*
**19:10 — Panel discussion Living with AI: Tools, anxiety & what actually works with Jan Marek, Michal Čížek, Tereza Šimková, and Matyas Mihálka**
* *AI coding tools are everywhere but between the hype and the fear, what actually delivers in day-to-day work?*
**20:00 — Q&A session**
* *Your turn. We’re open to any questions or comments you have.*
**20:30 – Networking, food & drinks 🍻**
* *Snacks and drinks, including draft beer, will be available for you all evening. Get ready to network with Applifters and enjoy the evening together!*
**22:00 – It’s a wrap!**
* *Some of us may move on to a pub, but the doors of Applifting are closing, and we'll look forward to seeing you next time!*
For capacity reasons, **please let us know if you will** [attend in person](https://applifting.io/events/frontend-crew-talk-when-tools-move-faster-than-us) or participate online. The presentations will be streamed, but we would love to see you there.
We look forward to meeting you!

Dialogues #37 - Topic: How We Die
In a world full of opinions, noise, and quick reactions, we often miss spaces for real dialogue — for slowing down, listening, and connecting with one another. This evening is an invitation to do exactly that.
Join us for an open and friendly evening (in English & free of charge) dedicated to How We Die.
We will brainstorm together in an Open Space–style format, where participants choose topics themselves about what we want to discuss from this broad topic - questions to help you get inspired:
What does it mean to die?
Do we have a right to die? Can we lose it?
Can we be forced to stay alive?
Afterwards, participants will form small groups to explore the questions and insights around the topics
18:00 – Doors open
18:15 – Introduction & topic selection
18:40 - We start discussions
19:40 - Closing session (sharing activities)
20:00 - Networking & Connect
What to expect:
A welcoming space for newcomers and regulars alike
Be slightly pushed to socialize
Open, participant-led small-group discussions on diverse perspectives
No expertise required — everyone’s opinion matters!
Safe, respectful, and judgment-free conversations
More about sharing and reflecting than debating or convincing
No pressure to speak — listening is just as valuable
Not a lecture, not a debate club, and definitely not intimidating!
Feel free to bring some snacks to share!
Friendly dogs are welcome!
If you are a regular that appreciate us and can help, or a newcomer who enjoyed the evening, and wants to help, we have recently set a Patreon page where you can support us!

The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo.

Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times.

Feel Good Friday: POWER BALLAD at the Gateway Film Center + SHAKE NO. 8!
Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor.
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!”
SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8! Ranked the #1 Ice Cream Shop in Columbus in 2024, this is the perfect place to kick off our Summer of Ice Cream and grab a sweet treat after the show! Their menu features an array of traditional, specialty and vegan shakes, hot cocoa, and more! You can check out their full menu here: [https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php](https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php)
PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing and will meet in the lobby area about 20 minutes before the show. Once showtime is announced, advance ticket purchase is advised! Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments section of this event. We'll head to nearby Shake No. 8 immediately following the show!

With the fate of the free world in the balance, they face an impossible choice: launch the largest and most dangerous seaborne invasion in history or risk losing the war altogether. It is directed by Anthony Maras and based on David Haig’s 2014 stage play. The film stars Brendan Fraser, Andrew Scott, Kerry Condon, Chris Messina and Damian Lewis.
