MÁME PLNO 😶‍🌫️ Je nám to moc líto, ale kapacita byla naplněna a další Punkery už nejsme schopní registrovat. Další Data Punkers budou o tom, jak dnes lidé skutečně pracují s AI, daty a vývojem. Ne o tom, co „by se mělo“, ale co funguje, co ne a kde se v praxi láme chleba. Už 10.2. od 17:30, Krátké přednášky, konkrétní zkušenosti a pak klasický komunitní networking. 🎤 Program: **🎤Vývoj před a po AI** [Petr Brzek](https://www.linkedin.com/in/petrbrzek/?locale=en_US) (CEO Macaly) Petr má za sebou několik technologických projektů a v posledních letech se intenzivně věnuje AI produktům. Se svým týmem postavil AI startup Macaly, který během velmi krátké doby vzbudil zájem investorů i strategických hráčů a skončil akvizicí v řádu stovek milionů korun. Ve své přednášce se podívá na to, jak AI reálně změnila způsob, jak se dnes vyvíjí software – od práce jednotlivých vývojářů přes fungování týmů až po rozhodování, co má a nemá smysl stavět. **🎤Conversational Analytics v MSD** [Ondřej Kubera](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ondrejkubera/) (Tech Chapter Director at MSD) ukáže, jak tým v MSD přechází od klasických dashboardů k „mluvení s daty“. Řeč bude o tom, jak to udělat bezpečně, spolehlivě a tak, aby to fungovalo i ve větším měřítku – a jaké jsou základy pro agentic analytics. 🎤 **AI Analytics in Practice: Beyond Dashboards** [Jan Difko](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jan-difko-ba615314a/)\, Cloud Data Architect \| Česká spořitelna – Jak lze analytiku AI rozšířit na analytiky a obchodní týmy – a co to znamená pro tradiční BI reporting. Na dvou praktických příkladech ukáže AI běžící přímo na datové platformě: od textové analytiky zákaznické zpětné vazby až po konverzační zážitky typu „promluvte si se svými daty“. V jakých oblastech doplňuje analytika AI BI dashboardy a v jakých je může začít nahrazovat? Pragmatický pohled na to, co ve skutečnosti funguje v reálných analytických týmech. 🎤 **AI-Ready Data Platform: Klíčové principy pro agentic AI a moderní datovou architekturu** [Ondřej Blaha](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ondrejblaha1/), Tech Lead v Revolt BI – jak připravit datovou architekturu tak, aby byla připravená na práci s agenty a AI use casy. 📅 Kdy? 10. 2. 2026 🕔 Open doors: 17:30 🕠 Začátek přednášek: 18:00 📍 Kde?

Business Stories is a conversation series about how real businesses are built, operated, and eventually transitioned. The focus is on decisions, trade-offs, and long-term thinking rather than tactics or trends. ​This session features **[Šárka Betke](https://www.linkedin.com/in/%C5%A1%C3%A1rka-betke-12a7a457/)**, founder of **[Vinofactum](https://www.vinofactum.wine/)**, a Berlin-based wine importer and distributor focused on natural wines from Central and Eastern Europe. ​After becoming a mother, Šárka left her stable career in fintech and founded Vinofactum in 2020, growing it to a combined revenue of over €1M without external funding. She built a trusted discovery platform shaped by close, long-term relationships with producers and loyal B2B clients. The business grew through disciplined commercial decisions in a traditional and highly competitive market. ​The conversation follows the full arc of the business, from the shift out of a well-paid director role to doing everything alone, through the hard trade-offs of bootstrapping and the reality of being an immigrant founder, to preparing a company for exit. *** ## ​Who this event is for * ​Founders building bootstrapped or capital-efficient businesses * ​Operators running distribution, wholesale, or product-led companies * ​Entrepreneurs in food, beverage, retail, or traditional industries * ​Business owners thinking about an exit in the coming years * ​Investors, advisors, and ecosystem builders interested in founder-led companies ​It is designed for people who value practical experience over abstract frameworks. *** ## ​What you will take away * ​A realistic view of how a bootstrapped business evolves over time * ​Insights into sourcing, pricing, and portfolio discipline * ​A grounded perspective on preparing for exit without rushing growth * ​Lessons on trust and relationships as a competitive advantage * ​Clear examples of decisions that shaped long-term outcomes *** ## ​🗓 **Agenda** * ​**18:00** – Doors open & informal networking * ​**18:30** – Fireside chat & open Q&A with **[Šárka Betke](https://www.linkedin.com/in/%C5%A1%C3%A1rka-betke-12a7a457/overlay/about-this-profile/)** * ​**19:30** – Relaxed networking *** ## ​**​Supported by** ​​✨ This event is proudly supported by **[Jimmy Technologies](https://www.fromjimmy.com/)** and **[Uppersky](https://uppersky.co/).**

Hola tod@s! Tenemos otra reunion este viernes en Cafedu! Sois muy bienvenidos!

Hello Python magicians and A.I. operators! The 33rd Prague PyData meetup will take place at **Pure Storage offices**. As usual, the talks will start at 18:30 but we encourage you to come as soon as **18:00** to enjoy the opportunity to socialize and refresh yourselves (which you can continue doing during the break and after the talks). Note that this time we will want you to sign a **non-disclosure agreement (NDA) when entering** (only to protect the Pure Storage hardware in development; the talks themselves are public of course!) Our main goal is to build the community around Python and data and make it welcoming to people of various skills and experience levels. ⚡ If you are interested in giving a lightning talk (up to 5 minutes to present an idea, tool or results related at least to some degree to Python and/or data), please contact us before the event or at its beginning. **📢 Evals, Benchmarks, and Guardrails: A Pythonista's Guide to Not Mixing Them Up** **([Šimon Podhajský](https://www.linkedin.com/in/simonpodhajsky/), Waypoint)** "I'll just write pytest tests for my LLM"—but should you? This talk untangles benchmarks, evals, and guardrails: three concepts that sound similar but map to different Python patterns. Learn why pytest CAN work for evals (with the right mindset), why guardrails aren't tests at all, and a grounded theory approach to defining what "good" actually means for your task. **📢 Orchestration Beyond the Schedule: Real-Time Integrations with Prefect** **([Ondřej Hlaváč](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ondrej-hlavac-24423a217/), Pure Storage)** As Python data workflows grow in complexity, relying on simple scripts and cron jobs often leads to "silent failures" and a lack of visibility. Enter Prefect—a modern orchestration framework that empowers developers to build, observe, and manage robust pipelines using standard Python code. While Prefect is rapidly gaining traction for scheduled batch processing, we took a different path: using it to power real-time event integrations for Master Data Management. In this talk, I will introduce what makes Prefect unique compared to legacy tools and demonstrate how we adapted it to handle immediate, event-driven flows. We will explore how its built-in resilience capabilities—like automatic retries, state management, and detailed observability—can be repurposed to make real-time integrations as reliable as nightly ETL jobs.

For our first meeting, we’ll read and discuss *[Claude's Constitution](https://www.anthropic.com/constitution)*, Anthropic’s attempt to formalize the values and principles that guide the behavior of an AI system. No academic background is required, just a willingness to read, think, and share your thoughts. It's a truly fascinating text on so many levels, I promise :) And I'm really curious what will strike YOU the most. Please read the text in advance. The session will be discussion-based, lightly moderated, and limited to a small group to allow for real conversation.
