Haunting shadows at my heels, Nightmares followed by the lies, Peace as distant as the sunrise, Waiting still in silence... like a warrior. Closed eyes will never open, Facing the fools, oh, they belong to the night. I will not be broken by you, Just a warrior like my God, like my God. I confide in You, I am so afraid that I will be left alone, But I will fight like a warrior, like my God. Drowning me, a cruel smile is here to stay, Thinking 'bout what has to be, forget the life, Feels like a warrior... something like my God. Feel unknown, I remain, Following through the ages and my pieces, I have been denied, left forsaken, Punished by the design, my ordinary dream. I confide in You still, though my spirit is down, But I will fight like a warrior, like my God. Erase me, I will not surrender, But I will fight like a warrior, like my God. Years of memories, a fading story, Too many things that were deleted and lost. I stand in the ruins, with the weight, But I will fight like a warrior, something like my God, like, my God. ***© 2026 Comes The Rain Production™.***

**The most enjoyable way to meet new people without going clubbing! ✨** This is an OPEN-AIR event! 🌤️ We jump straight into simple group dances so everyone is moving and laughing together right from the start. Later, we spend 15 minutes learning a few easy steps—mixing European classics, modern folklore, and chill Latin vibes. There are no rules to follow or pressure to perform. It’s just a relaxed evening to enjoy great music, move your body, and make new friends. **✅ No experience needed** → As long as you can sway to the basic rhythm, you belong. **✅ No partner needed** → We use fun group mixers and rotate constantly. 📍 **Vítkov**: https://maps.app.goo.gl/k2mkwRY2b133NQJx8 **🕒 SCHEDULE:** 18:50 - Arrival **19:00 - The Music Starts! 🎶** 19:45 - 15 minute class 21:00 - Wrapping up + Socializing (Bistro Vítkov) After we wrap up we go to a restaurant/bar close by for chill socializing. 🎟️ Cost: FREE - If you love the vibe, hit us with a 5-star review.

## 🤝 Host Information A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus 💡 About the Workshop AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge. This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow. Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided! Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site. ###

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
