Scratch

Let's start our regular meetups again! All yarn crafters (knitters, crocheters, yarn spinner, yarn witches, etc.) and masters of other crafts are invited to come and join us. Let's bring our needles, hooks, yarn and work together on our latest projects while catching up and getting to know each other :) please note that the number of participants on Meetup is limited because not everyone is registering on meetup and registering via our whatsapp group. If you would like to join our group, drop me a line :) All levels are welcome! Whether your a needle ninja or a crochet padawan, you will find here a community to welcome you and help you on your crafting journey!

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. 🌿Limited 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 🌿Date: 27th of May 🌿Time: 07:30—10:00 (it might take longer, depending on group tempo) 🌿Location: DooBeeDoo Goodies Atelier (Märzstraße 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. You’ll 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, we’ll move through a calm, meditative process, each gesture connecting thought, breath, and creation in quiet balance. By the end, you’ll 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 — 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. 🌿🌿🌿 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.

Bring your JS interest and a good vibe! Everybody is welcome & feel free to share this invitation! **Talks and info:** All details: [https://viennajs.org/en/meetup/vienna-js-may-2026](https://viennajs.org/en/meetup/vienna-js-may-2026) **Timetable:** * 18:00: Gathering, food & drinks * \~18:45 - 19:00: Start of the first talk **Talks:** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🗣️ Edouard Maleix ▶️ Context That Compounds: What I Learned Building a Memory Lifecycle for Coding Agents Most teams manage agent context with static rule files — 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 — 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** — 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** — 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** — 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 (20–67% baseline → 95–100% with context) wildly outperform auto-generated ones.The talk is grounded in real workflows, real failures, and real data. The patterns — identity, lifecycle-based memory, context-as-testable-artifact — are applicable regardless of which agent or framework you use. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🗣️ Speaker to be announced \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **🗣️Want to give a Talk?** ▶️ [https://viennajs.org/en/participate/give-a-talk](https://viennajs.org/en/participate/give-a-talk) **Location:** Dynatrace Austria GmbH THE ICON VIENNA ***Tower 24 - 22nd Floor*** Wiedner Gürtel 13, 1100 Vienna When you arrive in the ICON tower, walk straight to the info point and ask for a visitor’s 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 visitor’s 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). Don’t 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. **Sponsor:** 🙏 Dynatrace Dynatrace definitely is one of Austria’s big success stories in recent history.

[VIBE CODE WEDNESDAY] is a weekly gathering of people, hosted by weXelerate, where we are building things with AI — 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 — 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 — and it happens naturally here. From pros to newbies everyone is welcome. No experience required. No pressure. Just show up and build. Wednesdays @ weXelerate, Praterstraße 1, 1020 Vienna

📖 Time to revisit our classic format and **talk about a great book** again🤩! At our May event, we'll discuss **Vivienne Ming's** “***Robotproof: When Machines Have All The Answers, Build Better People***”. Vivienne is is an American theoretical neuroscientist and artificial intelligence expert, and a self-professed Professional Mad Scientist. Her life and work are both extraordinary, and her latest book provides an actionable framework for rising above the “*the homogenized, vanilla world associated with AI”* (Forbes). There’s lots to mull over, get inspired by, and take home from her writing - so don’t hesitate and join the discussion! Don’t worry if life is too busy to read a whole book: It is absolutely not mandatory. We’ll provide enough information so everyone can learn something and connect insights to their own thinking and experiences. If you want to familiarise yourself with the author’s work, there are lots of podcasts you can listen to, like this one: [https://podcasts.apple.com/at/podcast/stop-letting-ai-think-for-you-dr-vivienne-ming/id212382281?i=1000758167430](https://podcasts.apple.com/at/podcast/stop-letting-ai-think-for-you-dr-vivienne-ming/id212382281?i=1000758167430) There’ll also be time for **networking and conversation** over drinks and snacks (donations welcome, please bring some cash 😊). By participating, you agree that your likeness may be recorded and authorise UX Vienna to use any such recordings for event documentation and promotional purposes.

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. **YouTube Link** https://youtube.com/live/BltmWMH1zG0?feature=share
