Grandparents

Hello everyone! We're excited to invite you to our next meetup! This month, we'll be gathering at **Infinum**, where we have two engaging talks lined up, followed by some refreshments and time to connect. A big thank you to **Infinum** for hosting and sponsoring the event - we appreciate the support and the opportunity to bring the community together. Join us on **Thursday, 26th February at 6:00 PM**, at **Infinum offices, Strojarska 22**. \*\*\* **What 80+ AI transcripts taught us about how developers actually work with AI** by Ariel Buchwald-Kearney You asked for a toast component. The agent built a notification framework with debouncing, keyboard shortcuts, and suggestion popovers. You asked it to fix a bug. It guessed, applied the fix, and moved on without checking. Sound familiar? We ran workshops where developers built real features with coding agents, then analysed over 80 transcripts to find out what's actually going wrong, and what those who get good results do differently. This talk covers what we found, with concrete examples you can try in your next session. **Controlled Chaos: How vibe coding wins in production** by Boris Martinović Vibe coding gets a bad rap. Half the dev world swears by it and the other half thinks you're seconds away from doomsday. However, here's what nobody talks about: the best code in production often comes from a place of flow, not formality. This talk challenges the myth that vibe coding is reckless by exploring what "controlled chaos" actually means, and when it thrives in professional environments. We'll walk through real projects where embracing the vibe made all the difference, as well as show cases where it turned into an AI slop. Not to sound too cliche, but...spolier alert: it's way more contextual than anyone admits. Looking forward to seeing you there! Marcela

We're organizing another drinkup this month - join us at the usual place - Fakin Craft Bar!

**Offer one. Choose one - exchange of practical competence** At [SFIZ.FUN](https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb/) we regularly exchange languages, cultures and perspectives. This time, we’re swapping something just as valuable: skills. For one hour, we’ll host a small Discovery Table inside the regular meetup. Each person brings: • One skill they’re happy to share • One skill they’d genuinely like to learn That’s it. No pitching. No awkward self-promotion. Just reciprocity, curiosity and mutual growth. **Why?** Because every room is full of hidden competence. Someone knows the thing you’ve been trying to figure out. You probably know something they’ve been looking for. This is about making that visible and letting connections form naturally afterwards, on your own terms. **How it flows** 60 minutes Focused gathering Short intro round Organic matching The rest of [SFIZ.FUN](https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb/) continues around us, relaxed, social, international as always. Think of it as a tiny modern salon inside [The Beertija](https://beertija.com/). Community over competition. Reciprocity over hierarchy. Skills circulating, not just business cards. Curious? Take a seat. Let’s ditch the screen, grab a drink, and meet the world! See you soon, **SFIZ.FUN Crew** P.S. Spread the word https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb **How to Spot Us** New here? Best trick is to swing by right at the start, that’s when it’s easiest to find the crew and jump straight in, or ask the bar staff about the event ✨ Need quick updates or can’t see us straight away? No worries, our [WhatsApp group](https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb/faq/sfiz-whatsapp-guide-keeping-it-fun-and-respectful) is where you can ask quick questions. #ZagrebGlobalMingle

The days are cold and sometimes snowy, the city quieter, more reflective. It’s the season for winter walks, museums and cinemas, snow-dusted hikes on Sljeme, and simple pleasures like warm food and long conversations indoors. Zagreb is unusual in that winter can mean a mini ski break close to home. Sljeme offers easy slopes for beginners and casual skiers, without crowds or queues. Ice skating adds to the rhythm, outdoors at Šalata or indoors at Velesajam and the Admiral Ice Dome. ⛸️ And the best way to share it? At **[SFIZ.FUN](https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb)**. Our meetups are where plans get made, tips get swapped, and crews form to explore Zagreb together. **Why The Beertija?** Because it’s that place everyone ends up wishing they’d gone to ✨ Warm beer cellar vibes , cosy living-room energy ️☕, non-smoking inside (happy clothes, happy lungs ), plus a covered outdoor patio for quick smoke breaks . Skip it, and you’ll hear about it later Top tip: Turn up early, smile, catch someone’s eye, and dive into conversation, that’s how the magic starts No pressure, just rock up and join the crew.

Wouldn’t it be nice to find a way to overcome your feelings of anger so that you not only control them, but you no longer have the urge to lose your temper in the first place? And how about being able to shake off resentments, persistent annoyance, or even feelings of vengeance? We’d like to invite you to an event on how to overcome anger and resentment. We will show you why people have trouble controlling their temper and where resentment comes from. Flaring anger can ruin a meeting, a relationship, an opportunity, or just about any aspect of life. Worst of all, outbursts towards our family can create hurt that lingers throughout a lifetime. You want to have a civil conversation, and you’ve vowed that you wouldn’t lose your temper, but a few minutes later, the anger flares up. Maybe you’ve realized that being angry doesn’t get you what you want so you internalize it. Or maybe you avoid the knockdown, drag-out fights, but stewing in resentment is exhausting and takes an emotional toll. In this event we show you how to get to the root of your anger so that it stops being an issue to you. You’ll also learn why people harbor resentments and how to move on. Don't continue to struggle, make a difference in your life, and join us for this local event. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This Meetup is sponsored by your local Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center.
