End-User-Experience

We know that meeting new people in Vienna’s Meetup scene can feel a bit repetitive. While different hosts and formats exist, you often end up seeing the same faces. That’s why we’re shaking things up! We’ve teamed up with Mausen Bar to bring you an exciting new Board Game Night - one that goes beyond Meetup and expands your social circle even further! 📅 Every Tuesday (except some holidays/celebrations), 7-10PM 📍 Mausen Bar (Türkenstraße 33, 1090 Wien). Join us for an evening of fun, laughter, and great company. Whether you’re a board game enthusiast or just looking to meet new people in a relaxed setting, this is the perfect event for you! Plus, you can order delicious food and drinks right at the venue while you play. Come for the games, stay for the connections, and make Vienna feel even more like home. See you there! Please note that this free event is made possible through the generous support of the restaurant. In order to maintain a strong partnership and continue offering events like this at no cost, we kindly ask that all attendees support the venue by placing an order during their visit. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

We are living through one of the most transformative shifts in software development history. AI is accelerating the pace of change faster than our architectures, teams, and processes can keep up — and that raises hard questions we can no longer defer. This meetup brings together engineers, architects, and tech leaders to have an honest conversation about where we are headed. **Topics we'll explore:** * **AI Burnout & the Human Side of Acceleration** — What happens to developers when the tools move faster than the people using them? * **Supervising AI Models in Production** — Who is responsible when the model decides? * **Brain Drain & Talent Shifts** — Is the industry losing deep expertise to abstraction layers? * **The Future of SDLC** — How do we design software lifecycles when generation is instant but understanding is not? * **Future Interfaces** — What will human-computer interaction look like in 5 years? * **Mass Code & Maintainability** — Are we building a mountain of technical debt we will never be able to climb? * **Security by Architecture** — How do we ensure end-to-end security when the stack is more complex than ever? 📅 **Date:** June 16th 🕕 **Time:** 18:00 📍 **Location:** Accenture Börsengebäude, Schottenring 16, Wien 1010, Future Camp **Headline Speaker:** "How the SDLC changed with AI" , Michael Polonskiy **Panel:** * Michael Polonskiy, Accenture * Mathias, Dangl, Fab4mind * David Leitner, SQUER * Peter Jaschke, Accenture * Bernhard Goetzendorfer, AI Factory

Things to know before playing: Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls; We play Tuesday Night Football (outdoor only) . We play 90 minutes (kick off is at 20:30, and we meet at least 15 minutes before for a warm up phase). Post-Corona football matches are most likely between 14-16 and 28-32 players. If you would like to join please bring artificial turf shoes (like the ones for indoor turf) and shin pads (not mandatory but definitely recommendable). All I ask is that you come with a good mood, be respectful to everyone, and pay online using the link below. [Tuesday Night via FOOTxp football website](https://footballexperiences.net/kickaball/p/tuesdaynightfootball/) **Other methods for payments.** **Erste Bank Transfer**: **Sorin-Florian Brici** **AT27 2011 1829 5564 7001** **\*[Revolut](https://revolut.me/brici)** \- Recommended\! **\* [Wise](https://wise.com/pay/me/sorinb256)** \- Also recommended\! **\*[Paypal](https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sorinSocial/)** \- Please use non\-Commercial product We play light: no sliding, hard tackling, fighting, screaming, & hopefully no injuries. We need to respect current regulations in Vienna, Austria. The main priorities are to have fun and being safe. The drinks are relatively free after the game in the local pub, served to those who have shown fantastic football fair-play skills. We will confirm the location, the pitches, and the dressing room numbers via our dedicated Football WhatsApp group/s. Keep an eye out for the group messages. See you all soon.

If someone is talking bad, complaining, insulting someone, fouling on purpose or committing the usual football shenanigans, please let the organizers know. Measures will be taken, we assure you. Any misbehavior on your part, such as responding in an obscene way, fighting, or leaving the pitch is not a practical and diplomatic way of resolving the issues (it tends to create more tension and cause more problems). Let’s be respectful and mature and try to enjoy the game we all love. That’s why we’re all here. Get to know people from all over the world and have fun! Thank you. Sorin

**Requirements Engineering & AI** Wir haben für den 17.6. zwei grossartige Speakerinnen gewonnen, welche über Requirements Engineering & den Impact von AI berichten werden. Zwei Talks zum **Thema Agenten und Personas** und anschliessend Diskussionen dazu. **"KI goes Hollywood: Gib deiner KI eine Haltung und Rolle. Personas im Zeitalter von KI" von Christina Rohrmoser (LEAN-CODERS)** KI ist nur so gut wie die Perspektive, die wir ihr mitgeben. Doch in der Praxis passiert genau das selten: Personas werden halbherzig erstellt, falls überhaupt – und dann selten bis gar nicht verwendet. Und das, obwohl sie Gold wert sind, wenn es um die Nutzung von KI geht. Ein tiefes Personenverständnis ist der Schlüssel. Nicht als Steckbrief, sondern als fiktive Haltung. Egal ob KI, KI-Agent oder Agentic AI: die Persona ist immer relevant, da sie der KI mitteilt, in welchem Kontext eine Entscheidung zu treffen ist – und für wen. In meinem Talk zeige ich, nach welchen Kriterien eine Persona zu erstellen ist, damit KI die ihr zugewiesene Rolle spielen kann – und wie groß der Unterschied ist, wenn KI rollenlos bleibt. Denn ohne Haltung passiert genau das, was viele Anwender:innen bereits erlebt haben: Die KI antwortet – aber am eigentlichen Problem vorbei. **"KI-Agenten - eine neue Generation von Requirements Engineers?" von Brigitte Rafael** Chatbots sind bereits veraltet, KI-Agenten sind das neue Schlagwort. Wer nicht selbst schon einen Agenten gebaut hat, wird in IT-Kreisen mittlerweile schon fast schräg angeschaut. Aber was können solche Agenten wirklich und wie funktionieren sie? Der Vortrag bietet eine kompakte Einführung in KI‑Agenten – was sie sind, wie sie funktionieren und warum sie zunehmend eine ernsthafte Rolle spielen. Wie sieht das im Requirements Engineering aus? Da Agenten ja quasi alles können, können sie auch einen Requirements Engineer ersetzen? Ein Erfahrungsbericht über ein Experiment dazu rundet den Vortrag ab. **Die Sponsoren** 🏢 Location & Catering wird von [LEAN-CODERS](https://lean-coders.at/) bereit gestellt. **🎤 Call for Speakers & Sponsoren!** Und wenn du selbst etwas erzählen willst oder eine Idee für einen Talk hast, dann melde dich einfach. Auch suchen wir nicht nur Sprecher, sondern neue Lokationen zum Vortragen. 👉 **RSVP now!** Die Plätze sind begrenzt, also melde dich bitte an. Wie immer freuen wir uns sehr auf dich!

## 🤝 Host Information A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus 💡 About the Workshop AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge. This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow. Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided! Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site. ###

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
