Learning Czech can be hard and demotivating, especially when studying alone. **This meetup is a shared study session where we come together to stay focused, motivated, and make progress — each in our own way.** This is a co-learning / co-studying session, not a class. There is no teacher, no lesson, and no study material provided. Everyone comes with their own resources and studies independently, in a shared environment. **How it works** • We all bring our own material: • textbooks • homework from a Czech course • Duolingo or other apps • reading practice • vocabulary review, etc. • We mainly work individually • We are free to: • ask questions • help each other • share tips and resources • No teacher, no formal structure, no pressure **Who is it for?** • Czech learners of all levels • Non-Czech speakers (expats, internationals) • Czech native speakers are welcome if they want to help, but this is not a language exchange ⏱ **Practical info** • Location: Cafedu 12, Škrétova 490, 120 00 Praha 2 (Metro A and C, Muzeum station) • Duration: 2 hours, or less or more, as you want • Day & time: Monday, 18:00 • Group size: small group for now • Free event — please support the café by ordering a drink ☕ If you’re learning Czech and lack motivation when studying alone, come join us — let’s find it together

**Anotace přednášky:** Naše povídání „AI Fuckupy očima QA“ mapuje cestu od prvotního nadšení z no-code nástrojů a N8N až po tvrdý náraz do reality. Ukážeme vám, co se stane, když se manažerské sny o rychlých úsporách potkají s technickými limity. Zjistili jsme (často draze), že Data Science není Full Stack a že i takzvaný „Judge Agent“ si umí vymýšlet stejně kreativně jako každý jiný agent pracující s daty. Prošli jsme si peklem okolo ROI, bezpečnosti i AI Actu, abychom nakonec našli funkční systém. Ten dnes jasně odděluje testování AI produktů od používání AI jako pomocníka. Doražte. Ukážeme vám, proč AI nemá „God Mode“ a jak ji zapojit do procesu tak, aby vám reálně pomáhala, a ne jen vyráběla drahé problémy. **O speakerech:** **Blanka Fóglová** je QA architektka a konzultantka, která se dívá na testování a delivery proces jako na celek. Pomáhá týmům budovat efektivní QA strategie a automatizaci (včetně Playwrightu či AI QA) s důrazem na to, aby technologie sloužily lidem, ne naopak. Díky zkušenostem z dynamických startupů i velkých korporací dokáže pragmaticky zavádět principy DevOps i moderní metody jako contract testing. **Tadeáš Topol** je Automation QA konzultant a architekt se zaměřením na udržitelný vývoj testovacích frameworků a optimalizaci dodávání procesů. Specializuje se na budování komplexních řešení v nástrojích jako Playwright, Cypress či Robot Framework, které propojuje s reportingem (Grafana, OpenSearch) a výkonnostním testováním v K6. Tadeáš staví mosty mezi QA, vývojem a DevOps, klade také důraz na propojování moderních technologií (včetně AI) s reálnými potřebami byznysu, od dynamických startupů po komplexní korporátní prostředí. Těšíme se - organizátoři [Pro:]Test!

We’re excited to share that after a break, **Outreach meetups are back!** This time, we’re returning with a session focused on **engineering leadership**! This event is designed to inspire engineers and managers who want to unlock their full leadership potential without burning out along the way. Whether you’re considering a move into management, are new in the role, or already leading teams at scale, this meetup will offer **practical insights, real stories, and actionable takeaways** from experienced engineering leaders. *** ## Talks Schedule **17:30 – Doors open** **18:00 – Talk 1** **Christian Galatolo, Engineering Director @ Outreach** **How Senior Engineering Managers Scale Without Burning Out** Early in my management career, I unknowingly relied on principles to build a successful new business unit. Years later, with more experience and higher stakes, I learned which principles truly scale and which mistakes quietly turn managers into bottlenecks. This talk shares those lessons, grounded in real successes, real failures, and real pressure. **18:40 – Talk 2** **Michael Ruml, Director of Product Engineering @ Mews** **From Surviving to Scaling: Lessons from the First Year of Engineering Management** The transition from engineer to manager is one of the toughest shifts in tech. In this talk, Michael reflects on his first year as an Engineering Manager, unpacking the common traps, hard lessons, and mindset changes that make the difference between burnout and growth. A must-see for anyone navigating—or considering—the move into leadership. **19:30 – Networking** After the talks, stick around for networking, discussions, and getting to know fellow engineers and leaders. Outreach will provide **delicious snacks and drinks**, so you definitely won’t go hungry We’re really looking forward to seeing you there! \-\-\- *By taking part in this event, you grant the event organizers full rights to the use of images resulting from the photography/video filming, and any reproductions or adaptations of the images for fundraising, publicity, or other purposes.

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. **YouTube Link** TBA
