### Ackee Meets: Vol. 4 – QA v době AI je tady! 🤘 2026 jsme vyhlásili jako rok *Ackee Multiverse*.✨🔮 Po předchozích dvou meetupech (Mobile Development + Frontend & Backend) pokračujeme hráčem hrajícím často neviditelně v pozadí – Quality Assurance\*\*.🕵️\*\* V době AI. Kód sice dneska vzniká „sám“ a AI chrlí jeden řádek za druhým, ale ruku na srdce – s rychlostí roste i kreativita nových chyb a v šesti verzích excelové tabulky se AI ztratí stejně rychle jako člověk. Otázka už dávno nestojí tak, *jestli* nás stroje nahradí, ale jak tenhle technologický chaos ukočírovat, aby z toho nevznikl jeden velký fuckup. Přijďte na další Ackee Meets, kde si ukážeme, **jak vypadá skutečná detektivní práce moderního testera, jak pomocí AI postavit interní appku a zkrotit firemní hardware a proč je přístupnost produktů klíčová nejen pro legislativu, ale hlavně pro lidi.** 🚫 **Kapacita je omezená – registrujte se zdarma přes [Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1984893095681?aff=oddtdtcreator).** Interakce tady na meetupu nestačí. **CO NÁS ČEKÁ:** **📣 Svět QA po nástupu AI agentů** 🎤 **Madina Akramova,** *tester* Ještě nedávno QA kontrolovalo hlavně výstupy vývojářů. Dnes kusy kódu generují AI agenti – rychleji, než stíháme reagovat, a s úplně novým typem chyb. Podíváme se na to, jak se mění každodenní práce testerů a kde AI reálně pomáhá při návrhu testů, analýze zadání i hledání rizik. Práce testerů nekončí, jen se posouvá jinam, protože kód sice možná vzniká „sám“, ale ta pravá detektivní práce stejně zbývá na nás. **📣 Jak dostat HW chaos pod kontrolu (i pomocí AI)** **🎤 Dominik Fabián**, *Tester* Firemní HW žijící v šesti verzích jednoho Excelu, který nikdo pořádně neudržuje – známe to všichni. Ukážeme si, jak jsme tenhle chaos zkrotili a pomocí AI postavili interní aplikaci pro správu zařízení. Cíl byl jednoduchý: přestat lovit informace a konečně mít přehled, který fakt funguje. **📣 Proč je přístupnost digitálních produktů klíčová a jak ji testovat** **🎤** **Tomáš Samseli,** *tester* Navrhovat digitální produkty bez ohledu na přístupnost je sice legislativně riskantní, ale hlavně lidsky hloupé. Podíváme se na reálné překážky, se kterými se handicapovaní uživatelé potýkají, a ukážeme si praktické tipy z testování přístupnosti přímo v Ackee. Podíváme se, jak vytvořit aplikaci, kterou může bez nervů používat opravdu každý. WCAG si přečetl málokdo – problémy najdeš i bez toho. * 🗓️ **Kdy**: 24. 6. 2026 od 17:00 (open door) * 📍 **Kde**: Ackee, Block Karlín, 6. patro * **💸 Za kolik:** Zdarma – ale nutná registrace přes Eventbrite **Program:** * **17:00** 🚪 Vstup * **17:30** 1️⃣ Madina Akramova: **Svět QA po nástupu AI agentů** * **18:00** 2️⃣ Dominik Fabián: **Jak dostat HW chaos pod kontrolu (i pomocí AI)** * **18:30** 3️⃣ Tomáš Samseli: **Proč je přístupnost digitálních produktů klíčová a jak ji testovat** * **19:00** 🍕 Networking * **21:00** 🔚 Konec akce, jde se domů! 🚫 **Kapacita je omezená – registrujte se zdarma přes [Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1984893095681?aff=oddtdtcreator).** Interakce tady na meetupu nestačí. Těšíme se! 🤙 *V průběhu akce můžeme pořizovat a dále zpracovávat foto a video záznamy. Pokud si nepřejete, abychom vás fotili nebo natáčeli, dejte nám prosím vědět před začátkem akce.*

If your days are a blur of digital meetings, and you feel that spark of true collaboration is fading, you're not alone! Join us for this meetup to learn how to push back against it. Here’s a promise: In this meetup, you will experience what real collaboration with real human beings in 3D feels like. But not only that! You will learn: * Why people come up with better ideas and remember more when they’re in workshops without screens * How to use post-its and flipcharts to max their advantage against virtual whiteboards * How to smoothly bring outputs from your analog meetings into the digital world All that will be supported by real experience running real workshops (both analog and digital) in MSD and beyond. **About the Speaker** Lukas is Design Thinking Architect in MSD.

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
