Live Code Review - Bring Your Own Code
Live Code Review - Bring Your Own Code
Hello fellow Symfonians, we are thrilled to announce something we've never done before: a **Live Code Review** session! This time it's not about slides and talks – it's about your code. Submit a snippet beforehand and we'll review it together as a group, live on stage. Expect honest feedback, fresh perspectives, and plenty of "ah, that's how you could do it" moments. 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: **Part 1: "Live Code Review - Bring Your Own Code"** **by Stefan Priebsch & Sebastian Bergmann** 19:50: Break & Snack 20:00: **Part 2: "Live Code Review - Bring Your Own Code"** **by Stefan Priebsch & Sebastian Bergmann** 20:40: Socializing **Event Details:** **"Live Code Review - Bring Your Own Code"** by Stefan Priebsch & Sebastian Bergmann When Sebastian Bergmann and Stefan Priebsch take the stage together, expect an evening focused not on theory, but on the craft of building good software. As founders of [thePHP.cc,](http://thePHP.cc,) they have influenced the conversation around code quality, testability, refactoring, and sustainable architecture in the PHP community for many years. At this Symfony User Group meeting, they bring that experience to a special format: a public code review of code submitted by attendees. Together, they will look at real-world examples from everyday development, share direct feedback on structure, readability, testability, and maintainability, and show how even long-lived codebases can be improved step by step. This is a great opportunity to see how experienced practitioners approach code, which common issues they spot quickly, and which improvements can have the biggest impact in practice. If you would like feedback on your own code, bring it along. Please make sure to remove any credentials or personal data before sharing it publicly. The feedback will be constructive, respectful, and focused entirely on improving the code. Don't miss this insightful event, engaging discussions, and networking opportunities. We can't wait to see you at the June Symfony User Group! If you have any questions or accessibility requirements, please reach out to us. Also, if your company wants to be the next host for the User Group, just let us know!

Wir fangen 19:00 Uhr an. Sei deshalb bitte pünktlich 18:45 Uhr da. Ein späterer Einlass ist nicht möglich, weil wir mitten im Flow sind. **Vielen Dank Dir** 🙏🏽 \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Menschen mit guten Freunden leben länger, glücklicher und gesünder. Außerdem machen gute Freundinnen einfach Spaß.** . Deshalb biete ich Freundschaftsworkshop an. . Manche sagen: "Es ist schwierig, in Berlin gute Freundinnen zu finden." Berlin, die Stadt der 1000 Möglichkeiten ... ich kenne das auch. . **🌸 Dann machen wir einen Workshop!** 1. Maximal 40 Frauen. 2. Eine leichte Moderation führt durch den Abend 3. Ihr lernt Euch kennen und habt Spaß. 4. Wer mag, trifft sich wieder. . Du wirst überrascht sein, wie vertraut Du mit vielen nach 3 Stunden sein wirst - so, als ob Ihr Euch schon lange kennt. . **🔱 4 Jahre Arbeit - 1 Workshop** Vier Jahre habe ich geforscht und ausprobiert, wie Menschen Freunde werden & was die Magie der Freundschaft ausmacht. Das Ergebnis ist dieser Abend. . Praxisnahe, schnell umsetzbare Tipps, die Du schnell in den Alltag umsetzen kannst. Kleine Happen zur Theorie. - Und vor allem: Kennenlernen & Spaß haben. Wir probieren einfach miteinander aus. . Eine Teilnehmerin sagte mal zu mir: * "Georg, das ist so eine angenehme Atmosphäre. Danke, dass Du das machst." . Was soll ich sagen? Stimmt. Das ist mein Anliegen 🤗. . . **🎁 Diese Methoden kannst Du in Deinen Alltag mitnehmen.** Ab sofort kannst Du Menschen besser und persönlicher kennenlernen – und damit tiefe Verbindungen und bessere Freundschaften aufbauen. . . **⏰ Die Türen sind offen ab 18:45 Uhr.** * Deinen Mantel aufhängen, WC, eine Runde schwatzen und los geht's... . **❓ Darf ich wiederkommen?** Es gibt nur wenige Veranstaltungen, bei denen man wirklich miteinander ins Gespräch kommt. Hier schon, mit Tiefgang. . Einige kommen immer wieder, um die Details des gut gestrickten Programms zu ergründen - und immer wieder neue Menschen kennenzulernen oder auf bekannte Gesichter zu treffen. . Bis es endlich Klick macht und die richtigen Freundinnen gefunden sind. . . **🎒 Was bringst Du mit?** * Etwas zu trinken (z.B. deine Wasserflasche, keinen Alkohol!) * Du solltest satt sein und vorher gegessen haben * Bargeld für den Eintritt oder Ticket von Eventbrite . **🏠 Der Veranstaltungsraum** * Wir haben einen wunderschönen Raum im Prenzlberg - im Life Artist Hub * Gut mit Öffis zu erreichen: Schönhauser Allee (Ringbahn, U2, M1), Eberswalder Straße (U2, M10, M12) * Vor Ort ist alles ausgeschildert. . **Vorsichtshalber hier die Wegbeschreibung:** * Du gehst in den Hof bis nach hinten durch. Dort ist eine Tür. * Du klingest bei "Life Artist Hub". Die Tür sollte sofort summen. Öffne die Tür. * Du gehst in den 3. Stock. Da sind wir. 🤗 . **👱🏽‍♂️ Warum moderierst Du als Mann diesen Workshop?** . Hi, ich bin Georg. Ich weiß, ich bin ein Mann. Warum moderiere ich dann diesen Workshop? . Abenteuer Freundschaft ist mein Beruf. Am Anfang war ich auf Männer-Freundschaften spezialisiert. Überraschenderweise waren 60 Prozent der Newsletter-Empfängerinnen Frauen. Frauen scheinen die Wichtigkeit guter Freundschaften viel mehr zu spüren. . Deshalb habe ich letztes Jahr angefangen, Workshops für Frauen anzubieten. Soziale Träger, das Rathaus Schöneberg und das Frauenzentrum Begine haben mich bereits für Freundinnen-Workshops gebucht. Im Frauenzentrum moderiert eine Bekannte die Workshops.... denn da darf ich noch nicht mal rein :). . Unseren Workshop werde ich zurückhaltend moderieren. Ich weiß mit der Situation umzugehen. Das ist Euer Raum. . Für die Männer gibt es alle zwei Wochen am Dienstag einen Männer-Workshop, der regelmäßig gut besucht ist. . . **Mehr über Abenteuer Freundschaft & mich:** 🌎 [www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de](http://%5Bhttps://www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de/%5D(https://www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de/) "\[https://www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de\](https://www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de)") . . **👋🏽 Get in touch & stay in touch:** . **✈ Telegram-Kanal: [t.me/abenteuer_freundschaft](http://t.me/abenteuer_freundschaft)** für Events, Workshops & Neuste Erkenntnisse aus der Freundschaftsforschung (Überschriften) . **✉ Freundschafts-Newsletter:** [https://abenteuer-freundschaft.de/newsletter](https://abenteuer-freundschaft.de/newsletter) Alle 4 Wochen das Neuste aus der Freundschaftsforschung; oft seltener, denn ich schreibe nur dann, wenn es wirklich etwas zu berichten gibt. . **🔥 6 Zutaten großartiger Freundschaften** Seit 2020 forsche ich, was großartige Freundschaften wirklich ausmacht.

"Ich bin ein bunter Hund und habe viele Bekannte. Aber eine Bekanntschaft zur Freundschaft machen - das hast Du mir gezeigt." . "Ich war nervös, ob ich wirklich kommen soll. Was sind da für Leute?

What happens when PMs start shipping features themselves?
What happens when PMs start shipping features themselves?
What happens when PMs stop watching engineers code — and start shipping themselves? You’ve probably heard the stories. Maybe you’ve already tried it in your own company. AI is changing how product teams build, collaborate, and ship — fast. Join us for an evening with product leaders sharing real-world experience building and shipping customer-facing features with AI, not just internal demos and experiments. We’ll talk about PMs opening PRs, non-devs contributing directly to production, and what actually changes when the whole team gets closer to the codebase. This event is designed for Product Managers and Product Leaders who want to understand how product roles, collaboration, and development processes are evolving in the AI era. **Agenda** 18:15 – Doors open for snacks, drinks, and networking 19:00 – Welcome from ProductTank Berlin 19:10 – Opening the PR is just the beginning, Dmitry Gorshkov 19:40 – What happened when we let non-devs into the codebase, Elena Berendeeva 20:10 – Networking 21:30 – Event ends Please note: - Please bring your IDs as you’ll need it when entering the venue. - The event is RSVP only: to enter, you must RSVP here on Meetup. - We'd like to capture the event with photographs for promotional purposes, such as sharing on LinkedIn after the event. If you have any concerns or preferences regarding this, please feel free to let us know beforehand. **Opening the PR is just the beginning** Dmitry will show how to go deep into the codebase as a PM and make it worth the effort. Crafting code is time consuming, so should PMs code instead of doing PM work? Absolutely. But you must come prepared. About the speaker [Dmitry Gorshkov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dmitrygorshkov?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_android) is a lead product manager at Finom, a Dutch fintech superapp for small businesses. Dmitry has shipped successful products at N26, Taxfix and Cut the Rope, among others - and has more than a decade of product management experience. **What happened when we let non-devs into the codebase** A year ago, we let PMs, designers, and QA contribute directly to our existing codebase using AI. What followed wasn’t just faster shipping – it was a quiet shift in how our team made decisions, handled ownership, and thought about their roles. This is that story. About the speaker [Elena Berendeeva](https://www.linkedin.com/in/berendeeva-elena?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_android) is a PM at JetBrains who spent the last few years building 0-to-1 products – through pivots, sunsets, and a lot of uncertainty. Her most recent product is Matter, an AI prototyping tool that her team – designers, QA, and engineers – used to ship directly to production. She explores AI-native workflows and the evolving role of PMs in agentic product development.

What Are You Building
What Are You Building
**What Are You Building?** A small gathering for people who are building, exploring, or thinking about an idea, project, or product they want to build. **Who is this for?** • You have an idea in your head but haven't spoken about it publicly yet. • You're working on a project, business, creative pursuit, research topic, or something you can't stop thinking about. • You want thoughtful questions, honest feedback, and a space to think more deeply about what you're building. • You're at an early stage and looking for mental models, momentum, or a group of people who will push you to think more deeply about your idea. **What will we do?** • Each person gets time to share what they're building, exploring, or thinking about. • The group listens, asks questions, challenges assumptions, and offers feedback. • Together, we'll explore obstacles, next steps, opportunities, and different ways of approaching the idea. • The goal isn't to pitch an idea. The goal is to think about how the idea can be developed, tested, and built. **What should you bring?** • An idea, project, problem, curiosity, or challenge you'd like to discuss. • You do not need a business, website, audience, or finished product. • You do not need to have everything figured out. **What this is not** • Not a networking event. • Not a pitch competition. **The Focus** 1. Bring something you want to build, or an idea you want to build on, and let's work on it together. 2. This is as much a learning experience for the host and the people listening as it is for the person sharing the idea. The goal is not to have all the answers. The goal is to think more clearly, ask better questions, and help move ideas forward. **Why am I hosting this?** Hi! I am Priyanka. I am the founder and host of Everything Playbook (a podcast on Spotify that is gradually expanding into a broader creative and media project), and I spent a long time keeping my ideas to myself. I was insecure, overthinking, and hesitant to talk openly about what I wanted to build. Over time, through conversations, podcasting, and putting my work into the world, I realized that many people are sitting on ideas they rarely get the chance to discuss. This event is an attempt to create that space. I hope that you leave with better clarity, better questions, greater confidence in your idea, and a clearer understanding of what to do next.

In addition to the Graduation Ceremony, guests will be treated to short business pitches from the graduates.** **ATTENTION:** We will run this event as a hybrid event with the possibility to attend on site in Berlin! We will charge a small cover charge for snacks & 1 drink for those joining us on site! Book your ticket here: **[https://t1p.de/Graduation2026_Spring-FI](https://t1p.de/Graduation2026_Spring-FI)** We expect to see around 10 companies graduating from a wide array of topics ranging from helping perfume enthusiasts find the perfect scent, a platform for configuring and ordering the perfect robot, to an easy-to-deploy ERP tailored for SMEs, and even a powerful solution for managing and growing your savings, and more! This is the last chance to see the Spring 2026 cohort in its entirety and the first chance to see them as Founder Institute graduated companies! The [Founder Institute](https://fi.co/s/Berlin) startup accelerator is an extremely challenging program, and graduating is a significant achievement. In fact, less than 40% of applicants are accepted to the program, and less than 30% of those generally make it through. Being a Founder Institute Graduate Company is a seal of approval, signifying that company's founders, mission, model, and plans are being validated by experienced startup CEOs. **We will run this event as a hybrid event with the possibility to attend on site in Berlin!

What Causes Your Roller Coasters in Life?

At this Meetup you'll find out how to identify what actually causes the lows, the highs and everything in between. More importantly you’ll get the secret of how to gain control over your life so the highs are higher and the lows go away. Wouldn’t it be nice to stop the wild roller coaster ride for good? Or at least make it a fun roller coaster ride, with more ups and downs. There is a hidden factor that will be going over and you’re going to be quite surprised what it is and how much it affects your life.
