Hey fellow Dragons! ++++++++ Interested in Chinese/German? ++++++++ Learning Chinese/German and need to practice or find language-tandem partners? Interested in cultural exchange? Want to meet awesome internationals? …Or just want to get tips on where to find good Chinese food in Berlin? Whatever the reason, come join us! The more the merrier: such is the Chinese way! ++++++++++++++++ New Website ++++++++++++++++ We have our own community website now. It's hosted in Germany with better privacy guidelines and allows us to have more features than we currently have here. https://www.dragon-descendants.de/ Please think about registering there too and if you are awesome, use the RSVP function there too. In the long run we do plan to migrate permanently to the new site. ++++++++++++++++ Our meetup structure ++++++++++++++++ Our meetup is relatively unstructured. Groups often form organically and evolve and move throughout the evening consisting of members learning Chinese/German, members who are fluent/native, and the rest who are here to socialize in whatever language they're comfortable with and jumping into whichever conversation they find themselves in. We try our best to fulfil everyone's expectations so we can all benefit from the meetup and have a good time; if you have any suggestions or ideas (such as outings!) please don't hesitate to let us know! :) +++ No time on Thursday's? +++ We meet every second Thursday, but we sometimes have other events, which are not regular and occur on different days/at different locations. Stay tuned for announcements! Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones :) Cheers & 回头见 Yimu & Xuedi

Bitte via Mail anmelden: anmeldung@gedoplan.de **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. Nach Ihrer Anmeldung schicken wir Ihnen den Anmeldelink zu.

A lunchtime conversation with the man who built the world's largest startup accelerator What separates the founders who break through from those who don't? In 2026, the answer increasingly comes down to one thing: how you wield AI. The rules of company-building are being rewritten — faster than most founders realize. AI isn't just a productivity tool anymore. It's compressing the timeline from idea to product, from product to funding, from funding to scale. The founders who understand this shift aren't working harder. They're working smarter, faster, and with leverage that simply didn't exist before. There are few people better positioned to unpack what this means for founders than Adeo Ressi. He's spent over 15 years obsessing over one question: what does it actually take to build a successful startup What You'll Learn - The AI-native founder playbook — How top founders are using AI as a co-founder - From zero to funded, faster - The rewired venture ecosystem — How AI is changing what investors look for and how capital is being deployed - Live Q&A — An open, candid conversation. Bring your hardest questions! Additional Resources Find more Startup Events, learn about Finding a Co-Founder, or visit our Insights Blog for more startup tips About Founder Institute The Founder Institute is the world’s most proven network to turn ideas into fundable startups, and startups into global businesses.

**Join us for our next Machine Learning in Healthcare meetup in Berlin — proudly sponsored by the QUEST Centre!** Pizza is still back! Yes, we fought for it in 2025, and we continue to do so in 2026. Come hungry. We are very happy to announce our speaker **Prof. Grégoire Montavon**, who is a Professor at Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin at the Institute of AI in medicine (IKIM) and a Research Group Lead in the Berlin Institute for the Foundations of Learning and Data (BIFOLD). He received a Master's degree in Communication Systems from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in 2009 and a Ph.D. in Machine Learning from the Technische Universität Berlin in 2013. His research focuses on methods and applications of Explainable AI (XAI). A particular goal is to develop approaches that integrate well with state-of-the-art machine learning (ML) models used in medical diagnosis and research, so that these models can be verified and explored for insights. **His talk´s title is:** **Tackling Imperfect Data Environments via Robust and Explainable AI** **Abstract:** In this talk, I will present novel techniques for learning in imperfect data environments, specifically addressing challenges such as mislabeling and spurious correlations. Central to these new approaches is the design of new loss functions and Explainable AI techniques that can isolate artifact-inducing components during or after training, allowing them to be systematically removed from the final model. *** 📍 **Location:** “Atrium” conference room, 5th floor, Spreepalais, Anna-Louisa-Karsch-Straße 2, 10178 Berlin 🕕 **Doors open at 6:00 pm** — Talks start **at 7:00 pm!** * 6:00–7:00 pm — Arrival, food, and networking * 7:00 pm — Welcome by the hosts, followed by the talk + Q&A * 8:00 pm — More networking (and possibly more pizza) ⚠️ *Pro tip:* Sometimes only one of the four elevators is working! 📢 **IMPORTANT:** If you RSVP but later realize you can’t make it, *please release your spot* so others can join. *** This meetup is made possible with the kind support of the **QUEST Centre for Responsible Research at BIH**, who are providing both the venue and the delicious refreshments.
