We are back in Berlin for **our fourth event of the new year!**
**📦 WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?**
FTST is a **one-of-a-kind social experience** where strangers come together for an afternoon of meaningful, fun, and deep conversation. It’s also a different & cool way of meeting new people by getting a bit out of your comfort zone and skipping the small talk!
Join us for **games**, **talks**, and **connections** with **friends you haven’t met yet**. Join if you get annoyed after being asked what you do, where you are from, and how long you've been in Berlin every single time you meet someone. If you feel that there are better questions in life, this is the place for you. 🙌
**📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?**
We start with a short & sweet intro talk followed by a few light-hearted group games to warm up. After that, we split you up into small groups and start with the conversation rounds (with 3-4 people). We'll have awesome question cards that will guide the flow of the conversation. You’ll never have to speak in public if you don’t want to.
**🕹 HOW TO JOIN?**
**[Take 1 minute to sign up 👈](https://luma.com/ftst5berlin)**

**💛 WHAT THEY SAY**
🗣 “Great way to connect with people in a more meaningful way. Get to the heart of the matter, dive straight into what really counts!” - Matthias
🗣 “F\*ck the Small Talk changes the narrative from "Where are you from?" to "When was the last time you laughed uncontrollably?" and I think that's beautiful.” - Monika
🗣 “I loved F\*ck the Small Talk, I was a little bit nervous at first but they are pros at making you feel comfortable with the rest of the group, the activities are really fun and I enjoyed every second (consider that the one who's saying this is very, very shy). Give it a try!” - Brenda
🗣 "It’s a wonderful experience, it’s like being a kid again, when you were at the park, playing with other kids, and just decided you were going to be best friends for the next hours. Maybe you’ll never see those kids again. But that hour was amazing because you both opened up and trusted each other." - Sara

AI and Us: What Skills Will Matter Next?
AI is changing how we work faster than most of us expected.
Some believe entire roles will disappear. Others think it’s all hype. Most of us are somewhere in between, trying to figure out what this actually means for us.
This meetup is an **open space for anyone curious about the future of work** and how AI might impact their role, interests, or path.
## **About the Session**
It’s a **guided, interactive session** where we explore how future of work may look like. It is not a formal workshop or a professional skill-gap assessment.
We’ll reflect on questions like:
* What parts of what we do feel easy to automate?
* How are our roles already starting to evolve?
* What might “useful skills” look like in an AI-shaped world?
We’ll borrow a few ideas from recent AI workforce research and the **[emerging skills framework](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ai-skills-for-the-uk-workforce/ai-skills-tools-package?utm_source=luma#ai-skills-framework)** to help structure the conversation, but the focus will remain on open discussion and shared perspectives.
## **Why Join?**
We don’t have all the answers, but we believe the future is easier to figure out when you’re not doing it alone.
So come by, bring your thoughts, your doubts, your hot takes and maybe a friend.
## **About Human Future Hub**
We host open conversations about the future of work, technology, and society.
No gatekeeping or jargon. Just curious Humans in a room.
**Find out more at: [humanfuturehub.org](https://humanfuturehub.org/?utm_source=luma)**
Come for the ideas, stay for the deep conversations (and maybe a mild existential crisis 😉).
**Humans, together. Nobody is left behind.**
Purls & Pints 🍻
**Deutsch**
Schnapp dir deine Stricknadeln, dein aktuelles Projekt und strick mit uns! 🍻🧶
Wir treffen uns Samstags gemütlich in einem Pub – perfekt für alle, die gerne in netter Gesellschaft stricken. Alle sind willkommen, vom absoluten Anfänger bis zum Profi. Es handelt sich hier aber nicht um einen Kurs. Im Vordergrund stehen Plaudern, Lachen und gemeinsames Stricken.
Bring dein Strickzeug mit, bestell dir gerne ein Getränk und genieße einen entspannten Abend mit Handarbeit und netten Gesprächen. Egal, ob du an deinem Projekt weiterarbeiten oder einfach nur die Atmosphäre genießen möchtest – du bist herzlich willkommen!
**English**
Grab your needles, your current project, and come knit with us 🍻🧶
This is a relaxed Saturday social knitting meetup in a local pub—perfect for anyone who enjoys knitting in good company. All skill levels are welcome, from absolute beginners to seasoned pros, but this isn’t a teaching workshop. Think more chatting, laughing, and stitching together than structured instruction.
Bring along your own knitting materials, order a drink if you like, and settle in for an easygoing evening of craft and conversation. Whether you want to make progress on a project or just enjoy the vibe, you’re very welcome here.

Ensuring Software Quality in the world of AI Developers - Matt Eland
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.
