â¶ïž Context That Compounds: What I Learned Building a Memory Lifecycle for Coding Agents
Most teams manage agent context with static rule files â CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, custom YAML checklists, skills, etc. I do too. Then I tracked what actually happened: agents repeated the same mistakes across sessions, rules accumulated without evidence they helped, and review load stayed constant no matter how many rules I added.This talk covers what I learned building and testing a different approach: treating context as a living artifact with a lifecycle â generated from real incidents, curated for gaps, compiled to token budgets, and evaluated before injection. The key insight: context you can't measure is context you can't improve.I'll walk through three concrete problems and the patterns I found to address them:
1. **Attribution** â when an agent opens a PR, you can't tell what it wrote, why, or whether a human reviewed it. Giving agents their own signing keys and git identity changes code review from guessing to auditing.
2. **Memory that persists** â Monday you correct an agent, Tuesday it makes the same mistake. I built a typed diary (episodic, procedural, semantic, reflection entries) that survives across sessions and compiles into token-budget context packs. The difference vs. static rules: rules authored from memory can't compound; entries harvested from incidents can.
3. **Evaluating context, not just code** â SWE-bench tests whether agents can fix bugs. I needed something different: does this context pack actually help the agent avoid known mistakes? I'll show why scenarios harvested from real incidents (20â67% baseline â 95â100% with context) wildly outperform auto-generated ones.The talk is grounded in real workflows, real failures, and real data. The patterns â identity, lifecycle-based memory, context-as-testable-artifact â are applicable regardless of which agent or framework you use.

Dynatrace Austria GmbH
THE ICON VIENNA
***Tower 24 - 22nd Floor***
Wiedner GĂŒrtel 13, 1100 Vienna
When you arrive in the ICON tower, walk straight to the info point and ask for a visitorâs card for Dynatrace (**22nd floor**). They will explain the way to Tower 24. Walk through the 1st glass door. At the 2nd glass door, you will need your visitorâs card (left side) and hold it against the card reader to open. Hold your visitor card against the card reader at the turnstiles, walk through it, and look at the screen on your slide (while entering). Donât move too close to the gate before using your card, as it might block you. The screen will display a letter (A-D) about which elevator you need to take. You can also check your designated elevator by holding the card under one of the elevator screen panels. At the elevator entrance is a small display showing you the floor where it is going -> enter if you see the number 22.

Checkst du? Comedy â Freches Stand-up Open Mic @TheComedyPub
**Freches deutsches Comedy Open Mic in Wien! Junge Comedians + erfahrene Pros, gratis Eintritt & Drinks â jeden Mittwoch im Comedy Pub.**
## [HOL DIR DEINE RESERVIERUNG!!!](https://www.universe.com/events/checkst-du-comedy-freches-stand-up-open-mic-thecomedypub-tickets-8S49H0?ref=MeetUp)
Willkommen zu **Checkst du? Comedy**, der mittwöchlichen Stand-up-Show im *The Comedy Pub*, bei der junge Talente und erfahrene Comedians gemeinsam fĂŒr einen Abend voller Energie sorgen. Frech, direkt und immer spontan â hier wird Stand-up neu gedacht und live getestet.
Diese Show ist der Spielplatz der neuen Generation von Comedians in Wien. Sie bringen frische Ideen, mutige Witze und ungeschliffene Jokes auf die BĂŒhne. Erfahrene Profis runden den Abend ab und zeigen, wie Timing und BĂŒhnenprĂ€senz funktionieren. Das Publikum bekommt so einen spannenden Mix: jung, wild, frech â und trotzdem mit Comedy-Handwerk auf höchstem Niveau.
## đ€ Was ist ein Open Mic?
Ein Open Mic ist der Ort, an dem Comedy geboren wird. Hier probieren Newcomer ihre allerersten Jokes, wĂ€hrend Profis ihre neuesten Texte testen. Manche Gags knallen sofort, manche landen vielleicht erst beim zweiten Versuch â aber gerade das macht den Reiz aus. Du bist live dabei, wenn Comedy entsteht, wĂ€chst und manchmal glorreich scheitert. Und genau das ist **echtes Stand-up**.
## đ» The Comedy Pub â Der Comedy-Hotspot in Wien
Die BĂŒhne von **Checkst du? Comedy** ist der historische Altbaukeller im *The Comedy Pub* (KettenbrĂŒckengasse 7, 1050 Wien). Oben: Irish-Pub-Flair mit Drinks, Bar-Snacks und guter Stimmung. Unten: KelleratmosphĂ€re pur â nah dran, direkt und perfekt fĂŒr Stand-up.
Dank der Lage direkt an der U4-Station KettenbrĂŒckengasse bist du in wenigen Minuten mitten im Comedy-Geschehen.
## đĄ Eintritt frei â Spenden willkommen
Lachen soll fĂŒr alle zugĂ€nglich sein! Deshalb ist der Eintritt frei. Aber Comedy lebt auch davon, dass Publikum und KĂŒnstler\*innen sich gegenseitig unterstĂŒtzen. Wenn du gelacht hast, zeigâs mit einer Spende â fair, ehrlich und der direkteste Applaus ĂŒberhaupt.
## đïž Regeln fĂŒr das Publikum
Damit die Show fĂŒr alle funktioniert, bitten wir dich um ein paar Basics:
* Sei pĂŒnktlich â die besten PlĂ€tze sind schnell weg.
* Lachen ausdrĂŒcklich erwĂŒnscht â am besten laut!
* Keine GesprĂ€che wĂ€hrend der Show, Fokus auf die BĂŒhne.
* Kein Heckling â die Comedians sind funny genug. đ
* Spenden sind willkommen â Support your locals!
## đ Warum Mittwoch?
Weil der Mittwoch sonst der langweiligste Tag der Woche wĂ€re. **Checkst du? Comedy** macht aus der Wochenmitte ein Highlight: jung, frech, energiegeladen und mit Line-ups, die jede Woche neu ĂŒberraschen.
Wenn du Lust hast auf ehrliches Stand-up ohne Filter, dann bist du hier genau richtig.

[VIBE CODE WEDNESDAY] 27.05.2026
[VIBE CODE WEDNESDAY] is a weekly gathering of people, hosted by weXelerate, where we are building things with AI â and we'd love for you to join us.
Here's the idea: everyone has a mile-long to-do list and a bunch of ideas they never get around to. Things that don't get scheduled don't get done. So we made it a thing.
Every Wednesday at weXelerate in Vienna, we block off the time and vibe code together.
Think of it like your weekly gym session â except instead of lifting weights, you're finally building that thing you've been putting off for months.
Two reasons people keep coming back: you actually get stuff done, and you're not alone in the room and meet new people.
Someone next to you just found a tool you've never heard of or you get honest feedback on your idea. That kind of casual knowledge sharing is hard to find â and it happens naturally here.
From pros to newbies everyone is welcome.
No experience required. No pressure. Just show up and build.
Wednesdays @ weXelerate, PraterstraĂe 1, 1020 Vienna

Humming Traditions: SODAI - Straw, Form & Wind
In the soft stillness of early morning, step into the gentle rhythm of creation and discover Sodai, traditional Lithuanian straw mobiles that once filled homes with balance, harmony, and quiet beauty. Before the world fully awakens, we gather in a calm, focused space where hands begin to move and thoughts begin to settle.
đżLimited spots. The group is limited to 8 people. You can secure your place by purchasing a ticket through the link:
https://doobeedoo-goodies.sumupstore.com/produkt/humming-traditions-sodai-straw-form-and-wind
đżDate: 27th of May
đżTime: 07:30â10:00 (it might take longer, depending on group tempo)
đżLocation: DooBeeDoo Goodies Atelier (MĂ€rzstraĂe 86, 1150 Vienna)
An immersive workshop for adults, quiet hands, patient minds, and those who enjoy the slow rhythm of creation.
In this workshop, we will explore the geometry of air, learning how to prepare and string straw into delicate symmetrical forms that sway softly with every breeze. Piece by piece, your hands will follow the same patterns that generations before us used to invite order and peace into their homes.
Youâll learn the basic techniques of straw preparation, stringing, and construction, and experience how a simple natural material can transform into something light, precise, and full of meaning. Together, weâll move through a calm, meditative process, each gesture connecting thought, breath, and creation in quiet balance.
By the end, youâll leave not only with your own handmade Sodas, a timeless ornament carrying both heritage and your creative touch, but also with the knowledge, focus, and stillness that this ancient craft awakens. It feels less like finishing an object and more like completing a gentle ritual of patience and peace.
To keep the experience personal and attentive, the group will be small and intimate, space is limited, so that every participant can receive individual guidance and care.
This workshop invites you to slow down, focus, and reconnect â with your hands, your thoughts, and the quiet poetry of simple materials. No previous experience is needed, only patient hands, a calm mind, and an eye for quiet detail.
đżđżđż
Humming Traditions is a series of creative workshops that explore the living, breathing essence of cultural practices. Each event invites participants to connect with ancient techniques, natural materials, and artistic expression in a hands-on, immersive experience.
The series celebrates the quiet resonance of tradition, the subtle vibrations, textures, and forms that have carried meaning through centuries. Whether through sound, movement, or craft, Humming Traditions is about experiencing culture as a living, dynamic, and tactile art form.
Each workshop stands on its own yet shares a common thread: creativity, mindfulness, and a connection to nature and heritage. Participants leave with newly learned skills, a calm mind, and a deeper appreciation for cultural artistry.

The Psychology of Data Transformations & Optimizing Multimodal AI Pipelines
Dear Data Enthusiasts,
Join us again on **29th of May** at **A1** to learn about the psychological implications on employees when transforming the data landscape of an organization. In addition, we will finally have a talk about the open source framework Metaxy and how it can help to cut costs of multimodal AI pipelines.
A big thanks goes to our co-organizers from the A1 Telekom and our sponsor Cloudera!
**A Psychological Autopsy of a Data Transformation**
*DĂĄvid Farkas*
Five years ago, a small European university decided to build and implement a data strategy from scratch. Greenfield in the truest sense: data governance was an unheard term and in practice it meant local Excel files duplicated across inboxes; "the database" usually referred to whichever spreadsheet someone had emailed most recently. Over four years, we designed and rolled out new systems, established governance structures, hired a team, and delivered real wins. We also watched a significant portion of the work get undone in months once leadership changed.
This talk is a psychological autopsy of that transformation â what was planned, what worked, what quietly collapsed, and why. Universities are an unusually honest laboratory for studying data initiatives: decentralized power, competing stakeholder logics, weak formal hierarchies, and ambiguous success metrics make every human dysfunction that exists in corporate environments more visible.
Drawing on behavioural science and nearly five years leading this initiative, I'll walk through the recurring failure patterns I see across data and AI projects more broadly â algorithm aversion, NIH syndrome, the gap between executive sponsorship and operational ownership, and the under-recognised role of organisational identity in determining which systems survive a leadership change. The argument is not that technology doesn't matter â it's that the human substrate determines whether any of it sticks. Borrowing Kranzberg: technology is never neutral, and neither are the people implementing it.
**DĂĄvid Farkas** is a research psychologist (PhD) and data scientist based in Budapest. He co-founded Principle Zero, which helps companies, NGOs, and researchers take on complex challenges in data strategy, digital and AI transformation, research, product development, and science communication. We bring behavioural science to problems most consultancies treat as purely technical, focusing on the human and organisational factors that determine whether ambitious projects survive contact with reality. Previously he led data science and digitalisation at MOME Budapest, with earlier industry experience applying machine learning.
**Optimizing Multimodal AI Pipelines with Metaxy**
*Georg Heiler, Hernan Picatto*
The AI era has caused a fundamental shift in computing, moving us toward complex multimodal pipelines. However, these new systems are often incredibly wasteful. Right now, small changes to an input can trigger massive recomputations across very expensive processing steps.
In this talk, we will explore Metaxy, an open source Python framework built to solve this exact problem. Metaxy provides sample level metadata versioning and acts as the universal glue for incremental data pipelines. We will discuss how its field level provenance allows your pipeline to only recompute what actually changed. If you update an audio file, for example, Metaxy knows to skip downstream face recognition steps that only rely on video.
Whether you are a startup stretching your compute budget, an enterprise scaling ML infrastructure, or a researcher in academia, you will learn how to use Metaxy to iterate faster, cut cloud costs, and build highly efficient AI workflows.
**Georg Heiler** is a co-founder @Jubust and a Senior data expert at Magenta as well as a ML-ops engineer at ASCII. He is solving challenges with data. His interests include geospatial graphs and time series. Georg transitions the data platform of Magenta to the cloud and is handling large scale multi-modal ML-ops challenges at ASCII.
**Hernan Picatto** is a Computer Science PhD candidate at the Vienna University of Technology researching firm-level supply chains and corporate networks using NLP and Common Crawl data. Formerly an engineer at JPMorgan Chase and ZhiZhouKeji, he holds an MA from UCSD. His broad interests span big data, visualization, and time series causality.

đŠ Tune das Llama â Was beim Fine-Tuning eines lokalen LLMs schiefgeht, bevor es funktioniert â Datenmenge, Konfiguration, Evaluierung.
FĂŒr wen ist das relevant?
đ FĂŒr alle, die KI in ihrer Softwareentwicklung einsetzen wollen â aber keine Zeit haben, bei Null anzufangen.
ââââââââââââââââââââââââââ

Platform Engineering Vienna - May 2026 Meetup
Welcome to our May Meetup event for great talks, discussions and beers. We will meet at the Dynatrace office, thanks for hosting!
**Agenda**:
* Doors open 5:30 p.m.
* ***Talk 1: 6:00 to 6:30 p.m.***
* **Speaker**: Philipp Maier
* **Title**: Beyond the Fork: A 2026 Perspective on Terraform and OpenTofu
* **Abstract**: Both Terraform and OpenTofu are industry-standard tools used to automate the provisioning and management of infrastructure through code.
In this session, we will start at Commit b145fbc from 2023 and shortly review what happened back then and how OpenTofu started. We will then explore the technical divergence between Terraform and OpenTofu as of 2026 and how their managed ecosystems have evolved, looking at the practical trade-offs for our own projects.
* **Break: 6:30 to 6:45 p.m.**
* ***Talk 2: 6:45 to 7:30 p.m.***
* **Speaker**: Sahil Sharma
* **Title**: Kafka on Kubernetes: Building a Full-Stack Streaming Environment with Strimzi.
* **Abstract:** Running Apache Kafka on Kubernetes was once considered a daunting task. However, the Strimzi operator has simplified this process, making it possible to manage complex streaming infrastructure through a declarative approach. In this session, we will demonstrate how to bridge the gap between local development and production patterns by deploying a full-stack Kafka environment inside a Kind cluster.
We will walk through a live setup including:
\- Cluster Provisioning: Using Strimzi to deploy a functional Kafka cluster in seconds\.
\- Management & Visibility: Integrating Kafbat UI to inspect topics and messages\.
\- Observability: Implementing a Grafana and Prometheus \+ AlertManager stack to track broker health and consumer lag\.
\- Application Flow: Deploying a producer and consumer to validate the end\-to\-end data pipeline using Confluent library\.
Whether you are building a local sandbox or planning a larger rollout, you will leave with a repeatable template for a fully observable Kafka ecosystem on Kubernetes.
* **Networking**: start 7:45 p.m.

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.

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Hereâs a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor.
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this yearâs Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it âa sure-fired crowd-pleaserâ that âjust might be the feel-good hit of the year!â Others say, âPaul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmerâ thatâs both âhilarious and deeply moving!â
