Agentic coding with OpenCode & Composer Deep Dive
Hello fellow Symfonians,
we are thrilled to announce the first user group meeting of the year, featuring two insightful talks that you **won't want to miss**!
This time we are hosted by c-base (Rungestrasse 20
10179 Berlin).
Come by and enjoy an evening of learning, networking, and socializing with fellow Symfony and PHP developers.
**Agenda:**
18:30: Doors open
19:00: Welcome and Introduction
19:20: **Talk 1: "Agentic coding with OpenCode" by Damijan Cavar**
19:50: Break & Snack
20:00: **Talk 2: "Composer Deep Dive" by Nils Adermann**
20:40: Socializing
**Talk Details:**
**Talk 1: "Agentic coding with Opencode" by Damijan Cavar**
Summary (ChatGPT generated):
AI coding assistants are evolving beyond “vibe coding” toward **agentic, spec-driven development**. This talk explores why prompt-based workflows break down at scale and how structured specifications create a reliable foundation for autonomous coding agents.
You’ll see how **OpenCode**, an open-source, model-agnostic coding agent, uses planners, implementers, and reviewers to turn specs into verifiable code while keeping context small and repeatable. The session also covers practical security considerations, sandboxing strategies, and real-world lessons from using agents on non-trivial projects.
**Talk 2: "Composer Deep Dive" by Nils Adermann**
This talk will take the audience on a deep dive into Composer. We'll start on the surface with the big picture of Composer (how exactly do require/update/install relate to json/lock/vendor), followed by commands and arguments not widely known and used (e.g. bump, why/why-not, update options like --with-all-dependencies, --minimal-changes, and --ignore-platform-req=php+ and what exactly the plus means). We'll then advance to the underlying concepts like the platform repository, security concepts around Composer plugins and answer questions like "Why is there a hash in the lock file and how to resolve conflicts?", or "Why do repositories need to be defined on the root composer. json?" and finally reach into dependency resolution with a quick explainer on how Composer uses a SAT solver and boolean algebra to decide which packages to install. Back above water, the talk will end with an outlook on changes we're planning for Composer and [packagist.org](http://packagist.org) in the future.
Don't miss these insightful talks, engaging discussions, and networking opportunities. We can't wait to see you at the **February Symfony User Group**!"

Yin: Nervous System Reset
In this Yin practice, we take time to pause, soften, and simply be. With the support of long-held, floor-based postures, the body gradually opens, accessing the deeper layers of fascia and energy pathways.
We allow gravity to guide the process. This subtle work calms the nervous system, nurtures stillness, and encourages quiet reflection. It's an opportunity to release tension from both body and mind, and to reconnect with yourself on a deeper level.
The class is led in English and is open to all levels.

Real-time flight data streaming, anomalies, predictions, and visualizations
Join us for a hands-on workshop by Olena Kutsenko on Wednesday, February 25th from 5:30pm hosted by SPACE SHACK Coworking!
**Venue:**
**SPACE SHACK Coworking**
Akazienstraße 3A, 10823 Berlin, Germany
**Agenda:**
* 5:30pm – 6:00pm: Welcome, Food/Drinks & Networking
* 6:00pm - 8:30 pm: Workshop by Olena
** So that Olena has an idea of audience priorities, please fill in the [pre-workshop form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeJsBjgkL2EXvPtBScXtI5yAv6N9gFg64QmMajMUiMmaPllxQ/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=117948459316244235775) when you can (no personal info is collected)**
** Speaker & Workshop Details:**
Olena Kutsenko, Staff Developer Advocate, Confluent
**Hands-on workshop: real-time flight data streaming, anomalies, predictions, and visualizations**
**Workshop Overview**
In this hands-on session, we'll build a real-time analytics pipeline using flight data and modern streaming tools — step by step, and without hand-waving.
We'll start by streaming data into Apache Kafka using Confluent Cloud, process it with Apache Flink, and land it in Apache Iceberg using Tableflow. From there, we'll query the data with Trino and turn it into dashboards using Superset. Everything runs in a practical setup you can reproduce later, including Docker and cloud-managed services.
Along the way, we'll also look at anomaly detection and simple predictions using built-in functions, so you can see how real-time insights can be added without building custom ML pipelines or complex models.
This session is all about doing, not slides. You'll see how the pieces actually fit together, what decisions matter in practice (regions, credentials, formats), and how to go from streaming data to analytics in a way that scales.
If you're curious about real-time analytics, Kafka + Flink in the cloud, or how streaming, analytics, and lightweight predictive use cases come together in the same pipeline, this workshop will give you a clear, working mental model — and code you can take home.
No prior experience with Kafka, Flink, or Iceberg required! Just bring your curiosity and a laptop!

Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit - Barret Blake
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit: From Intent to Implementation*
Spec-driven development flips the traditional workflow on its head: instead of code being the source of truth, the specification becomes the backbone of design, collaboration, and delivery. 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.
