Welcome to Sunday Tech Coffee. This is a **networking** event for those in the tech industry in Berlin. We are usually inside and to the right. Ask the barista/bartender if you can't find us.

Hi, we are an international reformed evangelical church located in Berlin Tiergarten. The next sunday after the valentine weekend (the 22nd Feb, not the 15th Feb), we hosting a choral service on sunday. It is like your regular church service, but we will put more emphasize on the singing, choir, or the music so that it will have a bit of that concert vibe. There will be some pieces from Mendelssohn, Faure, Gounod, etc. Come over if you like music in general and have no issue to visit a church service (you never know here in Berlin, some people are very opposed :))

Hey everyone! I’m organising a co-working + socialising session for all of us who like to work on something (e.g. our own project, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. 🙂 To ensure that we have both **socialising** AND **working**, we will be using the so called “Pomodoro” technique: **50min of deep work** (silent), followed by **10min of break** to socialise. Then repeat! If you get into flow, you're also welcome to skip the breaks. It’s an effective way to stay focused - you can read more about it [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique). Anyone from any background is welcome, whatever project you are working on or whatever is your personal background. I (the host) speak English and German, so either is fine :-) ——————————————————- AGENDA: * **15min Intro** * Get to know everyone, talk about what you will work on today * **Pomodoro Session** (3x) - *Each Pomodoro session consists* *of...* * ...**50min** of uninterrupted “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, no phones) * ...**10min** of break: share your progress with others, talk about what you are stuck on etc. * Repeat * Conclude and celebrate your progress Share your progress, socialise and get to know others 😊 ———— We'll be at the Social Hub Berlin (they have a food menu in case you get hungry). The structured part will end at 2:30pm, but you're welcome to stay longer, go for lunch together, or leave earlier. See you there 🩵 **\*\*We'll reserve the long table. Please update your RSVP in advance if you can't attend!\*\***

You are welcome to join Sunday services at our church location. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Stand-up — sharp, personal, and honest — about figuring yourself out when nothing around you feels stable either. **(please click on the link to book seats meetup registerations dont count)** For the past few years, Ayush has been joking about ADHD, mental health, cultural confusion, and the strange logic of trying to build a stable life with an unstable brain. In Built Wrong, Shipped Abroad, he brings those threads together into his first full English solo hour. This show dives into diagnosis, therapy, navigating the German system, dating in Berlin, career misfits, and trying to stay functional while Europe itself seems to move from one crisis to another. If you enjoy comedy that goes beyond surface punchlines and isn’t afraid of uncomfortable truths, this one’s for you. About the Comic Ayush Kulshrestha has been performing stand-up since 2019 and runs Berlin’s ADHD-themed comedy night. After performing in Hindi and English across different cities, Built Wrong, Shipped Abroad marks his first full-length English solo in Berlin. Show Details 📅 Date: 22 February 🕖 Time: 7:00 PM (Doors 6:30 PM) 📍 Venue: Valentin Stüberl, Berlin – Neukölln 🎟 Tickets: From €7 [https://buytickets.at/desidemocracy/2072317](https://buytickets.at/desidemocracy/2072317) Please support the bar (cash only).

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
