**🔥 TechTalk #5** Každá generace má svůj „konec světa“. Někdy to byla jaderná válka. Někdy internet. **Dnes je to AI.** Jedni říkají, že zachrání svět. Druzí, že vezme práci a zničí IT. Realita bývá vždycky někde mezi. Proto tentokrát nechceme keynote ani marketing. Chceme otevřenou technickou debatu o tom, co AI skutečně dělá s vývojem, architekturou a odpovědností za software. **🔥PANELOVÍ HOSTÉ NA ROŠTU:** **🗣️ #1 - [Jan Sládek](https://www.linkedin.com/in/honzasladek/) (CEO [contember](https://www.contember.com/))** **🗣️ #2 - [Michael Žabka](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-zabka) (CTO [signageOS](https://www.signageos.io/))** 🗣️ **#3 - [Miloš Čermák](https://x.com/cermak) (novinář v [jednoprocento](https://www.jednoprocento.cz/))** **TÉMATA Z APOKALYPTICKÉ KUCHYNĚ:** 🔥 Budeme **rozumět kódu**, který AI generuje? 🔥 Jak budeme dělat code review něčemu, čemu **nikdo nerozumí**? 🔥 Je **halucinace** stále téma nebo pomalu **zaniká**? 🔥 Security, agent **prompt injection**, úniky kódu a porušování **vlastnického práva**. 🔥 Dříve jsme byli **placení za psaní** kódu; teď jsme **placení za čtení** a kontrolu. 🔥 **Junioři** se nemohou **nic naučit**. 🔥 Anthropic si může napsat **všechen software světa** sám! 🔥 Explozivní růst **technického dluhu** maskovaný produktivitou. 🔥 Tiché **selhávání AI projektů**, o kterých se **veřejně nemluví**. **Podíváme se na to, co dnes AI skutečně dělá s vývojem** – od generování kódu, testů a návrhů architektury přes explozivní růst objemu kódu, kterému už nikdo pořádně nerozumí, až po nový typ technického dluhu maskovaný produktivitou. **Nebudeme řešit, jestli nám AI vezme práci. Budeme řešit, jak se změní odpovědnost za software a jak udržet kvalitu systémů v době, kdy stále větší část kódu vzniká strojově.** Panel bude proložen krátkou technickou přednáškou z praxe: * ⚡ **(překvapení)** 🪢 Celým večerem vás bude opět provázet **[Marek Velas](https://www.linkedin.com/in/marek-velas)** (**[edupunk.cz](https://www.edupunk.cz/)**), který se postará o to, aby diskuze nepřešla v generování náhodných výkřiků a měla spád. \#\#\#\# KDY A KDE: * 📅 **Datum:** Ve středu 20. 5. 2026 * ⏰ **Čas:** 18:30 - 22:00 * 📍 **Místo:** signageOS s.r.o., Evropská 11/2758, Praha 6-Dejvice Těšíme se na setkání!

How are community builders actually using AI in their day-to-day work—beyond the hype and into real workflows? ​Join us for a Community Chatter focused on practical AI tools and approaches that help teams move faster, support their people better, and rethink how communities grow. This session brings together speakers who have built and deployed their own AI-powered solutions—from editorial coaching agents and community automation stacks to internal knowledge assistants employees actually trust. ​You’ll hear how AI is being used to: * ​turn rough ideas into publishable content without bottlenecks * ​better understand and manage growing communities * ​create reliable, accessible knowledge systems inside organizations ​**Speakers & Talks** ​[Jan Meissne](https://www.linkedin.com/in/necasjiri/?utm_source=luma)[r](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jan-meissner/?utm_source=luma) *Coaching, Not Gatekeeping: Building an AI Editorial Agent for Our R&D Blog* The more AI handles the routine, the more the human stuff matters. This talk is a small story inside that bigger one. A year ago, this would have been a favour I'd ask a senior engineer for - and then keep bothering them about every time something broke. Instead, I built it myself: an AI-powered editorial coach that helps our engineers, PMs and designers turn rough ideas into publishable blog posts. Azure Functions, React, Claude. Things I'd nodded along to at conferences for years and never expected to actually touch. I'll share how it was structured, tuned, and what it changed about how people write and publish. Although I hit a token limit in Claude Code halfway through. It's in production anyway. ​[Láďa Vašek](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ladislav-vasek/?locale=en&utm_source=luma) *From Chat to Code: How We Run a 500-Member Community with AI (Without Being a Developer)* A practical, no-code journey through building and running a community with AI tools. Láďa will walk through his stack and share a surprising insight: not all members matter equally—and AI can help you figure out who actually does. ​[Jirka Nečas](https://www.linkedin.com/in/necasjiri/?utm_source=luma) *Good Input Means Good Output: How We Built an AI Agent Employees Actually Trust* A behind-the-scenes look at building an internal AI assistant that employees actually use. Jirka will show how leveraging existing data, analyzing real employee questions, and embracing imperfect systems can lead to a reliable, everyday knowledge tool. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- ​This event is organized for the Czech community of community builders, especially those working with engineering and tech teams—but everyone curious about practical AI in community and team enablement is welcome.

We are a group of runners who meet most weeks for a run around the beautiful Vltava River's edge. You can bring your running shoes straight from the office/home office if you don't have time to stop at home. There will be a place to put your bags in the Cafe. We will run about 9 km along the river and have a drink afterwards. Paces vary! We will meet in the square near Kavarna Liberal (Hermanova 6), near the Vltavska metro/tram stop at 6:30 on Wednesday. See you there!

Join us for the first Symposium of the season to usher in the coming of Spring! 🌞🌻🌳 In antiquity, a symposium was a gathering of friends who came together to recline around a shared table, where wine and conversation flowed freely into the night. Together, they would choose a topic and take turns speaking, listening, and laughing—guided by the rhythms of drink and dialogue. Inspired by this tradition, our Symposium has no set theme. It's an invitation to come together with other curious minds, to offer up questions or ideas, and to vote together on where to begin. Whether you're hungry for connection or simply seeking space to speak and be heard, you're warmly welcomed to join the conversation. Symposium will meet in parks throughout Prague, embracing the sunshine and pleasant weather while we have it. Bring a blanket or something to sit on. There’s no cost to join, but please bring a snack or drink to share, if you're able. Most of all, bring a curious mind and a willingness to learn from the insight of others. Feel free to bring a friend or two--also, children and friendly dogs are welcome! \*\*\* If the weather doesn't cooperate, we'll try to find an alternate venue—so keep an eye on the event chat or your email for updates. Also, despite the origins of the Symposium, our goal is not necessarily to get drunk and the organizer would encourage you not to come with that sole purpose in mind. :) The first 45 minutes of the event will be dedicated to simply getting to know one another, and we highly encourage you to join for this part. We will then vote whether to continue free conversation, to join together in a single conversation, or to split up into multiple groups. Afterwards, you’re welcome to stay or follow onto any spontaneous activity that unfolds. A note on attendance: If you need to cancel, please do so at least a few days in advance and update your RSVP accordingly. This helps honor the host’s efforts and makes space for others who would like to attend. Repeated last-minute cancellations or no-shows may result in being placed on the waitlist for future events.

Ahoj Péhapkáři! Zveme vás na další sraz komunity. 🎤 Anastasiia Kovalova - Když AI agenti narazí na legacy PHP 🎤 Milan Šulc - AI automatizační stack do každé vývojářské rodiny 🎤 Josef Jebavý - Jak dělat frontend backendově 17:30 – open doors 18:00 – přednáška 18:40 – přednáška 19:20 – přednáška 20:00 - kvíz & networking Děkujeme našim partnerům a těšíme se na viděnou! Adresa: Shoptet - Pod Dráhou 1637/6, budova E3, Praha 7 \-\-\- **Anastasiia Kovalova - Když AI agenti narazí na legacy PHP** Co se stane, když AI agenti dostanou reálný ticket v existující codebase, jak nastavit workflow, kontext, validaci a kontrolní body tak, aby jejich výstupy dávaly smysl. (porovnávání Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex) \-\-\- **Milan Šulc - AI automatizační stack do každé vývojářské rodiny** *Pečovatel o open-source webové slony, potápějící se Docker containery a nemocné servery. V Shoptetu má na starost AI — žádný vývojář nebude sedět (bez tokenů) v koutě.* Jeden prompt nestačí. Pokud chcete stavět AI automatizace, které přežijí první demo, potřebujete víc než jen API klíč k LLM. Potřebujete workflow engine, model routing, logování promptů, vyhodnocování odpovědí, ingest dat, klasickou databázi i vektorové vyhledávání. Ukážeme si vývojářský AI automatizační stack postavený na nástrojích jako n8n, OpenRouter, LiteLLM, Langfuse, Firecrawl, Postgres a Qdrant. Projdeme, jakou roli v architektuře hrají, co řeší, co neřeší a jak je poskládat do praktických interních workflow, agentů a automatizací. \-\-\- **Josef Jebavý - Jak dělat frontend backendově** *je cyklista a freediver, který se prvně s programováním a Linuxem setkal již před rokem 2000. Když zjistil, že s počítači jsou problémy, rozhodl se vystudovat informatiku a následně zakotvil jako nezávislý IT specialista. Dlouhodobě se specializuje na: servery, kontejnery v cloudu, webové aplikace a zálohování vše s důrazem na efektivitu testování a bezpečnost. Mezi jeho nejčastěji používané AI nástroje patří Gemini a Cursor.* V posledních letech se při vývoji webových aplikací přechází čím dál více na frontendové technologie. Od nástupu AI a vlny vibecodingu javascriptový frontendový framework automatickou volbou pro webové aplikace. Jednou z několika nejpoužívanějších technologií pro vývoj webu bylo vždy PHP. Od PHP verze 7 se z PHP stal robustním programovacím jazykem a díky dalším nástrojům, jako je PHPStan, výrazně narostla hodnota ekosystému PHP. Podle mého názoru je na tom PHP vývoj aktuálně stále lépe než javascriptové technologie. \-\-\-

Join us on Saturday to help the organisation Šatník sort through their donations! There will be plenty to do, as weekends tend to be busiest. We will be given instructions at the begging of the day, then help sort and organise new and existing donations. Šatník is a organisation that redistributes donated goods to single parent households and struggling families, to help relieve their stresses and give old - still useful - items a new home!

As many of you already know [1touch.io](http://1touch.io%2A%2A/) has joined Everpure to combine its AI-driven data discovery and classification capabilities with Everpure’s global scale, accelerating the delivery of next-generation data management solutions. This meetup will be special! **Speaker:** **[Ashish Gupta](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashishgupta2025/)** - CEO and President of [1touch.io](http://1touch.io/) Ashish drives a bold vision to redefine how enterprises discover, understand, and secure sensitive data in the age of AI. A dynamic and highly regarded technology leader, he brings more than two decades of experience scaling high-growth companies across cybersecurity, enterprise software, and data infrastructure. Prior to joining [1touch.io](http://1touch.io/), Ashish served as CEO of Bugcrowd, where he accelerated the company’s growth, strengthened its market position, and expanded its platform to meet the evolving demands of modern security teams. His earlier leadership roles at global technology companies including Microsoft, Infoblox, Genesys, Actian, and Vidyo reflect a consistent track record of building innovative products, leading high-performing teams, and delivering impactful go-to-market strategies. He now joins Everpure as the General Manager of Data Management. **Talk:** Ashish will talk about why, in today’s AI world, the quality and structure of your data directly impact how well your models actually perform, and why many organizations are still limited by the way their data is set up. He’ll break down why traditional systems fall short and introduce knowledge graphs as a critical foundation for modern AI - connecting data through relationships, not just storing it in isolated tables. Instead of fragmented datasets, you get a connected view: customers linked to purchases, products tied to categories, and patterns that AI can actually understand and act on. You’ll see how this approach brings real-world context into your data, enabling smarter use cases like better recommendations, stronger fraud detection, and more meaningful insights. Ashish will also explain how adding a semantic layer transforms raw data into actionable intelligence, helping AI systems make more accurate predictions by understanding how things relate, not just what they are. If you're working on AI (or planning to) this session will show you why this isn’t just an upgrade, it’s the foundation for making AI actually work. **Time Agenda:** 17:30–18:00 – Doors open and registration with snacks and beer 18:00–19:00 – Talk 19:00–20:00 – Networking time 20:00 – Doors close

Filozofování o životě a o všem ostatním pro všechny, bez vstupného a bez přihlášky: Co si přejete, s čím si lámete hlavu, co Vás nenechá spát, o čem dumáte, o čem sníte, co Vám vrtá hlavou, čeho se bojíte, na co vzpomínáte, o čem přemýšlíte? Nenechte tyto věci jen pro sebe, zkuste rozhovor s jinými lidmi. U nás nejde jen o to, si popovídat, o to taky, ale to máte i jinde. U našeho stolu se pokusíme, spolu *filozofovat*. Nejdříve se dohodneme, jaké téma budeme diskutovat, a pak se do toho pustíme, budeme přemýšlet, rozmýšlet, promýšlet a zamýšlet se, až se nám z toho bude točit hlava, přitom nám budou podporou filozofové všech věků, abychom jí neztratili, tu hlavu. Ani byste nevěřili, jak filozofie může být osvěžující…

This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. 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 created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

Bring your work or your hobby, hang out, and code with us. Follow @buckeyecocoa for more information.
