AI is changing the way we build software. Agentic Software Engineering takes this a step further. Rather than using AI only for isolated tasks, teams work with specialized AI agents that take on concrete responsibilities across the software lifecycle, from planning and coding to testing and documentation. These agents operate in clearly defined roles and are coordinated through structured workflows. Developers set the goals and guardrails, guide how the agents are used, and review the outcomes. The result is a new kind of collaboration between humans and machines, with a stronger focus on quality, speed, and scalability. The first Agentic Software Engineering Night Berlin will take place on **April 14, 2026**. Join us for two talks by **Torben Keller** and **Johannes Rave**, plus plenty of time for discussion and networking. **Agenda:** 18:30 Open Doors 19:00 **From Vibe Coder to Code Owner** – Torben Keller An AI agent can generate thousands of lines of code in a few minutes. That's powerful – and overwhelming. You can't read and fully understand every line anymore when you want to take advantage of agents. But if you're shipping to production, you own that code. So, how do you take responsibility for something you didn't write and can't fully review? This isn't a new problem. Developers working on brownfield projects face it every day. You join a team and inherit a codebase with hundreds of thousands of lines written by people who left years ago. You don't know every line – yet you ship features, fix bugs, and take ownership. But how? The same principles apply to AI-generated code. What we've learned from decades of working with legacy systems and inherited codebases translates directly to the age of vibe coding. In this talk, you'll learn: * What brownfield development teaches us about owning code we didn't write * How to build an "Agent Harness" that integrates these practices into your AI workflow, ensuring agents follow your rules and standards **About Torben:** *Torben is a consultant at INNOQ, where he focuses on how software teams can work effectively with AI agents. His main area of expertise is the shift from traditional coding to Agentic Software Engineering, in which developers orchestrate multiple AI agents to carry out autonomous tasks across the development process. He also teaches INNOQ’s three-day [Agentic Software Engineering training](https://www.innoq.com/en/topics/agentic-software-engineering-training/) and regularly speaks at conferences and meetups, where he shares practical insights and proven strategies for introducing agentic development approaches.* 19:45 Break 20:00 – **No Constrain, No Gain: Structure for the Agent, Clarity for the Human, Flexibility for the Business** – Johannes Rave AI coding agents are remarkably good at producing code. Whether that code reflects what the business actually needs — and whether it still makes sense to work with six months later — is a rather different question. The temptation is to treat this as a prompting problem — give the agent more context, better instructions, clearer goals. An overlooked lever is paying attention to architecture. When domain logic has its own clearly bounded home, separated from the technical plumbing around it, something interesting happens: the agent stays focused, the human can actually review what matters, and the whole thing remains open to change without requiring a rewrite. This talk shares one approach to getting there — and how some well-placed constraints might set you free. **About Johannes:** *Johannes Rave is a Senior Consultant at INNOQ. He develops LLM-first applications and high-performance web services. He connects design and usability with scalable architecture and operations. Before tech: industrial design, automotive modeling, and running a nightclub.* 20:45 Open End

* *For English, please see below* Der Philosophische Stammtisch ist für alle, die gerne über das Leben philosophieren wollen ohne dabei zu verbissen den Fragen auf den Grund zu gehen. Wir wollen gemeinsam zu neuen Einsichten kommen und einen Raum schaffen für Menschen, die sich auf tieferer Ebene austauschen wollen. Die Fragen können von tiefen metaphysischen Fragen bis zu praktischen Lebensfragen reichen. Diese Veranstaltung soll gerade auch die ansprechen, die sich über solche Fragen Gedanken machen und sich austauschen wollen. Das hier ist kein politischer Diskurs. **Das Thema für diesen Abend** Wird bald bekannt gegeben. **For our English speaking members** We will have one table where the discussion is in English and you are welcome to join :) **Topic** Will be soon announced.

**We switched away from Meetup to Luma for organizing this event!** Please go to [lu.ma/vuejs_berlin](https://lu.ma/vuejs_berlin) to find the actual event description.

In diesem Kurs beschäftigen wir uns mit verschiedenen Texten aus unterschiedlichen Bereichen. Das können u.a. kurze Geschichten, Gedichte, Zeitungsartikel, Kolumnen oder Videos sein. Immer sind es Themen, die uns gefallen, die wir besonders interessant, wichtig oder manchmal auch richtig schlecht finden. Gemeinsam versuchen wir die Position der Autor*in, den Stil und die Argumentationsstruktur zu verstehen. Dazu diskutieren wir über das, was wir verstehen, welche Meinung wir zu dem Thema haben oder welche Fragen offen bleiben.
Gerne könnt ihr uns auch Themenvorschläge mitbringen oder zuschicken.
Der Kurs richtet sich an interessierte Menschen mit einem B2-Niveau (oder so ähnlich), die Lust haben sich weiter mit der deutschen Sprache zu beschäftigen und ihren Wortschatz zu erweitern.
Die Termine sind sporadisch.

Hast du Angst, vor Publikum zu sprechen? Verlangt dein Beruf Präsentationen, Pitches oder Vorträge? Wirst du nervös, sobald alle Augen auf dich gerichtet sind? Verlierst du manchmal den roten Faden oder merkst, wie deine Zuhörer gedanklich auf Wanderschaft gehen? Dann bist du bei uns genau richtig. Bei Toastmasters trainierst du deine Redekunst in einem sicheren, wertschätzenden Umfeld. Schritt für Schritt. Rede für Rede. Mit klarem Feedback und echter Unterstützung. Hier wächst nicht nur deine Technik, sondern auch deine Präsenz. ## So läuft ein typischer Abend ab 🎤 Der Abend wird von **Alexandra, unserer Präsidentin**, eröffnet. Sie führt durch das Programm und sorgt dafür, dass sich Gäste wie Mitglieder gleichermaßen willkommen fühlen. ### 🗣 Vorbereitete Reden (meist 4 Reden à 5–7 Minuten) In der Regel erwarten dich vier vorbereitete Reden. Persönlich, inspirierend, humorvoll oder nachdenklich. Jede Rede dauert zwischen 5 und 7 Minuten und ist Teil eines individuellen Lernwegs. ### ☕ Pause Zeit zum Austausch, Durchatmen und Kennenlernen. ### ⚡ Stegreifreden (1–2 Minuten) Hier wird es spontan. Ein Impuls, eine Frage, ein Gedanke. Auch **mutige Gäste** dürfen sich ausprobieren und ganz ungezwungen Bühnenluft schnuppern. ### 📝 Feedbackteil Nun kommt der vielleicht wichtigste Teil des Abends. * **Bewertungsreden** zu den vorbereiteten Reden (je 2–3 Minuten) * Feedback weiterer Rollen wie Zeitnehmer oder Sprachstilbewerter * Ein **Gesamtbewerter**, der den Abend als Ganzes reflektiert Das Feedback ist konstruktiv, konkret und immer wertschätzend. Es zeigt Stärken auf und gibt klare Impulse zur Weiterentwicklung. ### 👋 Verabschiedung Zum Abschluss rundet Alexandra den Abend ab und gibt einen Ausblick auf kommende Treffen. ### 🍽 Danach: Restaurant & Socializing Wer mag, kommt mit ins Restaurant. Dort wird weitergeredet, gelacht, diskutiert und vernetzt. Wenn du lernen willst, klarer zu sprechen, souveräner aufzutreten und deine Botschaften wirkungsvoll zu platzieren, dann komm einfach zum nächsten Clubtreffen. Die Bühne wartet nicht auf Perfektion. Sie belohnt Mut. ✨

**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** GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
