Join us on **January 29 at ToughTech** for an event that explores Spec-Driven Development - why defining a clear spec up front helps automation and code generation deliver speed without waste - and “Querying Pain with EF”—a candid look at why Entity Framework is so popular, the most common pitfalls, and when alternatives are the better choice. Agenda: * **18:30 "Spec-Driven Development: It’s time to rethink the way we build"** **by Eimantas Tauklys** "Vibe Coding gives us speed, but without a clear target, speed becomes waste. Slow down at the start: define the spec, align the vision, and then let automation and code generation take you farther, faster, and in the right direction." * **19:10** **"Querying pain with EF"** **by Skirmantas Navickas** "EF is a tool that is easy to use and easy to love... yet I have my reasons to dislike it. Let's explore why is this tool so widely used, the most common mistakes and cases where some other ORM would be better (spoilers - I am a fanatic of dapper)" * **20:00 Bytes & Bites** The opportunity to become a student or a lecturer in disguise as you mingle, snack and connect with fellow tech enthusiasts is all yours. Don't worry about grades—here, laughter and nods are the ultimate measures of success! **Tech info about ToughTech:** * ToughTech journey will start at 18:30 - (guests will be welcome to enjoy snacks and network until 21:30) * The event will be conducted in LTU language * [REGISTRACIJA](https://forms.gle/gy5gkhosxH73b8vd6)

In this local meeting, you will discover knowledge that you can use to get over the past. The key to improving your personal motivation, self-confidence, and happiness is to get over your painful memories. When you become free of your past, you will be free from stress, anger, anxiety and depression. Studies show that negative emotions can affect your health. By being free of negative emotions, believe it or not, you will most likely even look younger, feel more energetic, and become healthier! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is brought to you by the Dianetics and Scientology life improvement center.
