March Meetup: Audio in the Terminal and text prompts to music
On the 3rd March we will host the next iteration of our monthly Audio Developer Meetup. The long talk will be by Christian Grothe on building audio applications for the terminal in rust. The short talk will be by
Maksymilian Padalak on how to convert text prompts into plug-ins. See below!
As always, there will be a chance to network over drinks and pizza. Anyone interested in Audio development is welcome!
Doors open at 18:00, talks start at 18:15.
Please note: Attendance is **strictly limited** to people who have RSVP'd
Talk details:
**Building Audio Applications with a TUI in Rust** \- Christian Grothe
In this talk, we will explore the possibilities of building musical instruments with a terminal user interface using Rust and Ratatui. We will look at both the challenges and advantages of this approach, illustrated with practical examples and sound demonstrations.
**Christian Grothe** is a programmer and musician based in Potsdam. During his music studies, he became increasingly interested in creating improvised electronic music using his own tools. Starting with MAX/MSP, exploring the Axoloti board, experimenting with Arduino and Teensy, and eventually building an analog modular synthesizer from scratch, his technical abilities evolved through time and hands-on experience. Primarily focused on building tools for live sampling, Christian settled on a stack where he uses Rust to create custom sampler instruments running in the terminal, alongside SuperCollider patches—literally making music with tmux.
**pluginmaker.ai - How We Turn Text Prompts into Working VST/AU Plugins -** Maksymilian Padalak
pluginmaker.ai is the first ever browser-based, no-code generator for VST and AU audio plugins. Users describe an effect or instrument in plain language - "plate reverb with decay and damping controls" - and within minutes receive a plugin they can load in almost any DAW. In this talk they'll demo the full flow from prompt to plugin, walk through how the generation pipeline works at a high level, and share what they've learned building an AI system that writes real-time audio code.
Maksymilian Padalak is an ex-Nord Security (NordVPN) developer, guitarist, music producer, former professional standup comedian, and co-founder of pluginmaker.ai - an AI-powered platform that generates audio plugins from natural language descriptions. He co-founded the project with his best friend and ex high school bandmate Dominik Bilski, an ex-FedEx and ex-Pearson developer, bassist, and AI enthusiast. Both quit their jobs to build pluginmaker.ai full-time.
Tantric Date Night - Tantra workshop for couples
! All sessions in English except for 17.02, 24.02 & 21.03 - these sessions will be in German !
Wanting to connect deeper with your partner? Looking for new ways to be intimate? Hoping to foster love, awareness, and communication in your relationship?
Take some quality time away from the daily grid and explore Tantra together through embodied practice. The practice is designed to foster deeper intimacy, attunement and harmony between the two of you.
Tantra invites you to allow your life force energy to flow without inhibition and to cultivate it for self-realization. Part of the practice is about inviting in more opening. Openness creates union, resistance creates separation. Deep connection, more pleasure and joy are a result of experiencing more openness.
Tantra is for everyone! All couples are welcome regardless of sexual orientation and experience level. Not in a romantic relationship? Feel free to bring anyone you'd like to practice Tantra with.
**What to expect:**
* **Discourse, demo practice and Q&A**: learn about Tantra through discourse, ask your questions
* **Tantra meditation practice**: presence, movement, sound and breath
* **Sharing before and after practice**: share about your fears and desires & reflect on your experience
* **Cozy studio setting**: enjoy a comfortable and intimate environment
* **No partner-exchange:** practice only with your partner
* **Fully clothed:** you may keep your clothes on during the entire practice
**What to bring:**
* Wear comfortable clothing
* Water bottle to stay hydrated
**Tickets:** 65€ per couple.
Please purchase your ticket via [sophieheldens.com](https://www.sophieheldens.com/tickets?utm_source=meetup&utm_campaign=datenight)
**Location:**
Praxis Köpi
Köpenicker Straße 175
10997 Berlin Kreuzberg
Walk to the second courtyard and take the stairs to the front door on the left.
**Please note:** Praxis Köpi is located on the 5th floor and there is no elevator available. Only book a ticket if you can walk the stairs. The benefit: a beautiful private studio with loads of natural light.
**!! Please arrive 10 minutes early so we can start on time !!**
Once we start the session, I can’t let you in anymore because it disturbs the class. Please do yourself and the group a favour by coming on time. Thank you!
**Workshop facilitator**
Hi! My name is Sophie. My passion for Tantra is rooted in a deep spiritual yearning and an inner knowing that Tantra is my path. My desire to teach Tantra has been sparked by having witnessed my own growth and healing as a result of these practices and it is inspired by a vision to create a more beautiful world.
I create a space that is loving and nurturing, with a strong emphasis on ensuring that you feel save and supported. My workshops are gentle yet transformative, spiritual yet grounded and always heart-centered. I'm passionate about bridging the wisdom of ancient Tantra with modern-day practices.

PBerg engineers - monthly meetup
**This is 100% non-profit. The 15€ sign up fee for everyone is only to minimize last-minute cancellations. The total sum goes to a bar-tap that everyone can use to order drinks until the amount is used up. ‼️NO REFUNDS‼️**
**‼️Please don't just show up without RSVPing here and paying the 15€. We have a separate room that has limited capacity and a specific drinks agreement with the bar - so splitting up the bill won't become a mess.‼️**
**Small update on how your money get's used from May 2024 onwards:** As of this month, meetup.com has started charging me 34€ instead of 16€ per month. I've decided to distribute this fee evenly among all us participants every month. Example: In the last 12 meetups, the average number of attendees was 17. With 17 attendees I would effectively collect 230€ (after fees). I would now substract 34€ leaving us with 196€ that go to the bar. 15% get's tipped to the wait staff, in this case 30€, leaving us with 166€ effectively to order drinks. Hope everyone is cool with this system. :)

Quality Engineering meetup #11
**PLEASE NOTE THE ADDRESS CHANGE! We're now at [w3hub.berlin](https://w3hub.berlin)**
*[Qase](https://qase.io) is presenting the **eleventh** Meetup on Quality Engineering in Berlin.*
*This time, we’re bringing you three deep-dive talks — all designed to challenge the way you think about quality, testing, and collaboration.*
*As always, expect great conversations, snacks, and drinks. See you there!*
**AGENDA**
**1\. Mitesh Patel\, Technical Consultant \- Scientific Instruments @ Altum Solutions: *Food QA: Testing Tasting***
On this fine evening, we shall enjoy some food … and also learn why we enjoy it. Because tasting is really a form of testing for our brains — wetware QA in essence.
But how do we reformulate this wetware testing into those familiar realms of software and hardware testing? It is not as simple as exchanging taste buds for test suites and bites for bytes. Just ask Big Food which spends billions on this same question: How can computers do taste tests like humans?
Guided by the example of an ML/AI-powered scientific instrument for chemical analyses, namely, a spectrometer, this session addresses this question and explores the broader topic of QA in the food industry. Discover how food companies scale testing across scientific software, device hardware, and food/human wetware. So grab a spoon for this insider scoop on QA for food.
**2\. Vitaly Sharovatov\, developer advocate @ Qase: *QA Myths Busting: A Practical Guide to Higher Quality***
Have you ever felt the urge to increase the amount of testing or hire more testers, thinking it would improve product quality? As a tester, have you ever been held “accountable” for quality or pressed for time, leaving you feeling helpless? Or perhaps you’ve been asked to justify quality assurance initiatives with numbers?
Our industry is filled with myths: from “quality can be measured” to “more testing means higher quality” and from “QA slows down work” to “testers are responsible for quality”. In this talk, I will present the myths I once believed, explain the dangers they pose to both teams and products, and demonstrate how they should be debunked and overcome.
**3\. Asya Isakova\, Co\-Founder @ TECH_Connect: 𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘯 𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵\, 𝘒𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘑𝘰𝘣**
The job market is wild: it’s hard to get hired, and sometimes even harder to stay hired. In a new role (or a new team), one of the fastest ways to reduce uncertainty and accelerate collaboration is to build trust quickly.
But how do colleagues and managers decide you’re trustworthy? It’s rarely just about closing Jira tickets or moving cards on a Kanban board. People assess trust through patterns of behavior: what you do, how consistently you do it, and how do you act towards others.
In this talk, you’ll learn an evidence-based approach to building trust at work using three practical components: integrity, reliability, and benevolence. We’ll unpack what shapes people’s trust judgments (including context, risk, and prior experiences) and translate research into concrete behaviors you can apply immediately: especially in multicultural and cross-functional teams.

As we mentioned in our group description, the way we build and deliver software is evolving rapidly. We are kicking things off by bringing together Berlin’s engineers, architects, and tech leaders to discuss the shift from standard automation to **Agentic AI** and **intelligent cloud workflows.** For this premiere event, we are currently finalizing a lineup of two deep-dive talks that will explore practical use cases in this emerging field. We will update this page with the specific speaker details and talk titles very soon—stay tuned!
**What to expect:**
* **Insightful Talks:** Real-world perspectives on where software delivery is heading (Speaker below)
* **No Fluff:** We’re here to move beyond the buzzwords and discuss what actually works.
* **Great Company:** Plenty of time to grab a cold drink, enjoy some snacks, and connect with peers who are facing the same challenges and opportunities in the cloud-native space.
**Speaker:** Milan Wiezorek – Head of Customer Engineering, Google Cloud ([https://www.linkedin.com/in/milanwiezorek/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/milanwiezorek/ "https://www.linkedin.com/in/milanwiezorek/"))
**Talk:** "Operating Agentic Eco-Systems at Scale"
Milan helps government and healthcare institutions harness secure, resilient AI to solve society's biggest challenges. He previously led AI industrialization for the German automotive industry – spearheading the Gemini-powered Mercedes-Benz 2026 CLA launch, scaling workflow automation for Bosch, and accelerating R&D for Volkswagen through AI surrogate modeling.
**Speaker:** Ahmed Diab – Consultant Cloud Engineering
(https://www.linkedin.com/in/ahmed-diab-ac/)
**Talk:** "Pioneering the Future of Agentic DevOps: Why Mindset Matters More Than Tools"
Ahmed is a DevOps and cloud engineer working with modern automation and AI-assisted tooling in production environments. He focuses on how agentic systems are applied in practice, where they help, and where careful choices are needed when adopting new tools in DevOps workflows.
Whether you are already experimenting with AI agents in your pipeline or just want to understand what the hype is about, you’ll feel right at home.
📚 HFH Book Club — First Meeting "Empire of AI" by Karen Hao
**Fellow Humans, we're starting a book club!**
We focus on understanding what's actually happening on the crowded stage of AI: the companies driving the AI race, the decisions being made on our behalf, and what it all means for the rest of us.
Every few weeks, we'll choose and read one book together and talk about it. Bring your **thoughts**, your **questions**, your **highlighted passages**, and your **honest reactions**.
**Our first pick: *Empire of AI* by Karen Hao**, who has worked for The Wall Street Journal and contributes to The Atlantic. *She argues that the pursuit of an artificial superintelligence has become its own figurative paper clip factory, devouring too much energy, minerals and human labour. She portrays OpenAI and other companies that make up the fast‑growing A.I. sector as a “modern-day colonial world order.”* (excerpt from the NYT review)
**What to expect:**
A relaxed, semi-structured conversation (around 2 hours).
We'll dig into the themes together, share what stood out, and connect the ideas to what we're actually experiencing.
**No expertise required, just read the book and show up curious.**
**Why a book club?** Because some things can't be captured in a headline or a 60-second video. The questions AI raises for our work, our relationships, and our futures deserve more than a scroll. They deserve a real conversation with real people, and a book gives us common ground to start from.
**After this first Meetup, you help define what's next!** Suggest books that have changed how you think about AI, technology, or what it means to be Human. This is your club.
**No tech background needed. Just curiosity and willingness to think out loud with fellow critical thinkers.**
**Join our [LinkedIn Group](https://www.linkedin.com/groups/10088542/) and [Substack](https://humanfuturehub.substack.com/)** for articles, perspectives, and resources between events.
See you there, Your HFH Team!
**Humans, together. Nobody is left behind.** ❤️

Free in Person Meeting - Get Over Losses and Betrayls
Do you want more motivation and confidence to build Lasting Relationships?
This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships.
Are you burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse.
Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival, while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well.
Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship.
Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action?
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: human relationships!
Break free from self imposed limitations
Here we will discuss:
• How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes.
• Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you?
• Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it?
• Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love?
• Fights & arguments - what's really behind them?
• What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others?
• How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change?
• Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them?
• How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about?
• How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career?
Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general.
Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person.
Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Google Analytics Alternatives
**Google Analytics Alternatives**
Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday.
Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”.
Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process.
We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.

How to Get Over Losses and Betrayls & Build Lasting Relationships
Join us for this free, in person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships.
Do you want more motivation and confidence to build lasting relationships?
Are you burdened by a stressful relationship?
Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse.
Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival, while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well.
