Sick and tired of the LinkedIn hype machine surrounding the 50th newly released Copilot this week, or that one framework switching names 3 times in a single month? Wondering what exactly is going to change (or already has) for you as a software engineering professional before or after the AI bubble pops? In this talk, software/cloud architect, engineering nerd and ex-CTO Kevin takes you through a full circle moment, partially revisiting a talk from this very series of Technights 5 years ago before using a number of actual studies and experiences to help you with those exact questions based on (gasp) data and verified results. We'll discuss where we're at as an industry with plenty of jokes/memes along the way, but hopefully also walk away with the knowledge of what skills, methods and ways of working are provably (still?) effective in this new AIge of engineering for you to practice. **Program:** · 17:00 \- 17:30 \| Walk\-in · 17:30 \- 18:30 \| Diner · 18:30 – 19:30 \| Talk · 19:30 – 21:00 \| Borrel **🗓️ Date**: Maandag 2 maart 2026 **⏰ Time**: 17:00 - 21:00 **📍 Location**: Nevelgaarde 20G, 3436 ZZ Nieuwegein ❗️**NOTE**: Our official name is PSG technauts.

Love is in the air…! Our new initiative launches right after this years Valentine’s Day, for all you singles out there! **Slow dating events focused on discovering relationships built on compatibility over superficiality!** No more swiping, skip the bad dates! This is how it works: 1. We arrange matchmaking rendezvous events across the EU. 2. Once you arrive at the meetup, you fill in a fun 5-10 minute questionnaire on [affinitee.eu](https://affinitee.eu/) . We explore different aspects of relationship compatibility using this questionnaire. 3. Our matchmaking platform matches you up against other participants and provides a compatibility score against each of them. 4. Our organizers will then pair you up based on the match scores, and you will then proceed to play a well thought out connection boardgame, where you will be to able explore various aspects of living together as a couple. 5. Once done and if both parties approve, you will then be directed to one of the couple seats to get to know each other better! We believe in conscious, compatibility based matchmaking. Don't waste your time dating the wrong people! Note: As you may imagine, the turnout could potentially be gender imbalanced. If this does indeed happen, not to worry, you can still enjoy a wonderful boardgame night and maybe even find a good friend!

ATTEND IN PERSON OR ON ZOOM In many different areas of philosophy, including ethics and philosophy of mind, difficulties arise from – or are made more intractable by – confusions over the viewpoints from which different claims are being made. Thomas Nagel explored this back in 1986 in The View From Nowhere, a book which focuses particularly on the interplay between subjective viewpoints and the objective viewpoint (ie ‘the view from nowhere in particular’). I was inspired by his book but I’m more interested in the differences between different human subjective viewpoints. I’ll take a look at a few of the many resulting philosophical tangles. In each case I’d also like to ask: what exactly is it to have a particular point of view? And is it more accurate to say that each of us has a point of view or that each of us is a point of view? Rick Lewis is the Founder and Editor of [Philosophy Now](https://philosophynow.org/) magazine, the most widely-read philosophy periodical in the English language. Lecture and discussion! See you there? This event is sponsored by the Royal institute of Philosophy. For the full programme of events pls see [pfalondon.org](http://pfalondon.org)
