Smalltalk

**ℹ️ The next meetups will be managed on Luma.** **You can register for this event 👉 [here](https://luma.com/zma43t8d). Follow the Django User Group Berlin Calendar on Luma.** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-​ In April, we'll be hosted again by [MPB](https://www.mpb.com/de-de?utm_source=luma), the second-hand market for camera and video equipment, running good ol' Django. Be sure to chat to them while you sample their food and drinks. This month, like last, we'll have a speaker from within our own community, **Sofia Fischer**, Backend Developer at Kraken Technologies. The title of her talk is: "**How complex is my function?**". This talk will give an overview of complexity metrics in computer science, software engineering, and linguistics to show many different ways in which a function may be complex. Based on the Django Framework repo, I will show how a project can be analysed with different complexity metrics. As always, please make use of the **lightning talks** and talk about anything you like: a problem that you'd like help with, a thing you've built, or a hobby you like. Doesn't have to be Django, doesn't even have to be tech! **18:30 Doors open** **19:00 Main talk by Sofia Fischer** **19:30 Lightning talks** **19:45 Get eatin'** This event is governed by the **[Berlin code of conduct](https://berlincodeofconduct.org/de/?utm_source=luma).** We want this to be a safe space for all. Any questions and concerns can always be directed towards the organizers Lara Krämer ([lara.softwareengineer@gmail.com](mailto:lara.softwareengineer@gmail.com)) and Markus Binsteiner ([markus@frkl.dev](mailto:markus@frkl.dev)) before, at and after the event. **Accessibility information:** The main entrance can be accessed via stairs or a ramp. The front door is a bit heavy and must be opened manually when closed. An elevator is available to take you up to the fifth floor. Once you reach the office door, please ring the bell; when you hear a sound, turn the handle two full turns to the right to enter, or somebody can come and open the door.

Berlin is no longer so dark! Spring has come! 🌷 Let's catch those fresh new rays of sun ☀️. While walking together we can enjoy a nice conversation, get those steps in, increase our serotonin production as well as sync the circadian rhythm. It's also a lovely break from work. I would like to invite you to our mental health walk event. Agenda: 12:10 We meet at Schöneberg Park next to the fountain with the golden deer statue ("Der goldene Hirsch"). 12:15 We walk to Volkspark Wilmersdorf 12:50 We arrive back in Schöneberg Park, at the golden deer statue. We walk at every weather, so make sure to dress properly! Looking forward to meeting you at our lunchtime walk.

Bring your laptop! *** ​**Abstract**: In this workshop, we will discuss the unique challenges (and solutions) faced when deploying Deep Learning models to embedded microcontrollers. These tiny devices are increasingly capable of running models, even for relatively complex use cases, but come without many of the comforts of a classic computer. When deploying a model to a microcontroller, a much deeper understanding of the physical hardware and good knowledge of the various optimization paths that help reduce the resource consumption of an application is needed. We aim to shed some light on how to deploy models to these cheap, ubiquitous and sometimes surprisingly capable little pieces of hardware. ​**In this session, we will cover:** * ​Important differences between a desktop/server and a bare-metal embedded system * ​Quantization for model compression * ​Anatomy of an Embedded Application * ​Embedded ML Inference Engines and how to run them * ​Deploying a model step by step ​**Who is this event for?** This session is targeted at anyone with basic ML knowledge. Experience with C and embedded systems is probably helpful, but not required. We will cover the most important aspects as part of the workshop. **⚡ FINAL REMINDER ⚡** **You MUST register and be approved on Luma to attend.

Liebe Meetup-Community, schön, dass du hier bist. Suchst du gerade nach einem neuen Funken für dein Leben? Pass auf: Diese Veranstaltung wird dich vielleicht nicht nur unterhalten und inspirieren – sie könnte deine Sicht auf die Dinge (und damit dein Leben) grundlegend verändern. Wenn du bereit bist, lies weiter. **Findest du dich in einer der folgenden Situationen wieder?** * **Frust trotz Erfolg:** Du (und vielleicht dein Partner) hast eigentlich alles „richtig“ gemacht – Studium, Karriere, gutes Gehalt. Aber durch die Inflation und steigende Kosten fühlt es sich nicht mehr selbstverständlich an, eine hohe Lebensqualität zu führen (beim Einkaufen, beim Urlaub buchen oder beim Eigenheimkauf). Hinzu kommen Bedenken über die Altersvorsorge aufgrund des aktuellen Rentensystems. * **Was nun nach den ersten Schritten?** Du hast dich schon an Aktien, ETFs, Krypto, Immobilien usw. herangetraut, aber der Weg zu deinem Traumleben sieht noch unendlich weit oder ungreifbar aus. * **„Selbst“ und „ständig“:** Du hast den Schritt in die Selbstständigkeit gewagt, fühlst dich aber gestresst – sei es wegen der Finanzen, dem Zeitmangel für dich und deine Familie oder beidem. **Stell dir vor, du gehst nach diesem Abend so nach Hause:** * **Antrieb:** Du erkennst, dass dein eigentlicher Traum, den du vor Jahren in die Ecke geschoben hast, doch möglich ist. * **Klarheit:** Du weißt jetzt, was dein nächster Schritt ist – und du hast richtig Lust, ihn zu gehen! * **Freude:** Du stehst am nächsten Tag nicht mehr aus Pflichtgefühl auf, sondern aus echter Freude. **Was wir machen:** Wir treffen uns in lockerer Runde und spielen das **[Cashflow-Spiel von Robert Kiyosaki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cashflow_101)**. Keine Theorie, sondern Spiel bzw. Simulation pur. Wir probieren auf dem Brett Sachen aus, die man im echten Leben vielleicht gar nicht sieht oder sich nicht traut – und lernen dabei extrem viel über unser eigenes Geldverhalten. Wir lachen viel, tauschen uns ehrlich aus und kommen als Gruppe weiter. **Der Plan:** * **18:30 Uhr:** Ankommen, Drink schnappen, kurz quatschen. * **19:00 Uhr:** Spielstart (ca. 90 Min.). * **Danach:** Offene Runde. Wir reden Tacheles – über Aktien, Krypto, Immobilien und deine persönlichen Erfahrungen. Steig ein – spielerisch, ehrlich und vielleicht ist das hier der Startschuss für dein neues Leben. Beste Grüße und bis dann, Shuying ========================================== **Wer wir sind:** Wir sind eine vielfältige Gruppe von Menschen, die entdeckt haben, dass strategisches Aktienhandeln für jeden zugänglich ist. Unser Ziel ist es, unsere gemeinsame Erfahrung zu teilen und Anfänger im Aktienhandel zu inspirieren, sich sinnvoll und emotionsfrei zu investieren. Wir glauben fest an das Konzept des gegenseitigen Lernens – indem wir dir helfen, lernen auch wir von dir, und schaffen so eine Win-Win-Situation für alle. **Was wir glauben:** * Erfolgreiches Aktienhandeln ist keine exklusive Domäne für Finanzexperten. * Das Verstehen von Aktien und das Treffen informierter Anlageentscheidungen ist für jeden erreichbar. * Du benötigst keinen Abschluss in Betriebswirtschaft, um die Prinzipien der Wertanlage zu verstehen. * Technische Aktienanalyse ist nicht nur für Finanzprofis gedacht; es ist eine Fähigkeit, die du erlernen kannst. **Über die Gründerin dieser Meetup Gruppe:** Shuying hat Mitte 2023 selbst ihren Weg zur Anlegerin gefunden – von der Frustration und Überforderung zur begeisterten Aktieninvestorin, nachdem sie die Grundlagen der Chartanalyse gelernt hatte. Inspiriert durch diese Erfahrung gründete sie diese Meetup-Gruppe, um andere auf ihrem Weg zu mehr Selbstvertrauen, Klarheit und finanzieller Freiheit zu unterstützen.

Bitte via Mail anmelden: anmeldung@gedoplan.de **Referent:** Martin Boßlet, Berater, Dozent und Softwareentwickler **Datum und Uhrzeit:** Donnerstag, 30.04.2026, 18:00 – ca. 19:30 Uhr **Ort:** Online mit Zoom Seit zwei Jahren reden alle über KI-gestützte Entwicklung - und vieles klingt gleich: Gestern war Prompt Engineering der Beruf der Zukunft, heute ist es Context Engineering. Claude Code gegen Codex, GitHub Copilot vs. Cursor, Tool-Vergleiche hier und da. Die Älteren unter uns werden sich mit einem Schmunzeln an Vim vs. Emacs erinnert fühlen. Während CEOs bis hin zum Digitalminister den Untergang der programmierenden Zunft ausrufen, wenden sich viele Entwickelnde frustriert ab. "Das ist nichts für mich" - diesen Satz hört man oft. Die Branche scheint sich in zwei Lager zu spalten: auf der einen Seite diejenigen, die KI fast schon aus Trotz konsequent ablehnen, auf der anderen KI-Propheten, die zumindest der Erzählung nach ihren kompletten Alltag mit KI bestreiten und der Konkurrenz schon längst meilenweit voraus sind. Die eigentliche Frage lautet: Warum gehen die Erfahrungen so weit auseinander? Die These dieses Vortrags: Der Engpass liegt meist weder im Modell noch im nächsten "Tool du jour", sondern in fehlendem, verstreutem oder nur implizit vorhandenem Kontext. Der Schlüssel zu erfolgreicher KI-Zusammenarbeit liegt deshalb nicht in besseren Tools oder clevereren Prompts, sondern in der ältesten Technologie der Menschheit - Sprache. Genauer gesagt: in Markdown als universeller Schnittstelle zwischen Mensch und Maschine. Anhand von Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), Mermaid-Diagrammen, **[AGENTS.md](https://www.linkedin.com/safety/go/?url=http%3A%2F%2FAGENTS%2Emd&urlhash=jh-H&mt=F7bnie71WnYrGR3aD-BiSMeaQCiWniKDxaG65SbBgq37lq5u7OZ1P6NjRp-YTlrvhyBy30Lf47AWfYCmtVLwNg99MBUc-2e8qYUzQLXNViKKD4LeW5gizS3yWw&isSdui=true)**-Datei und Agenten-Skills zeige ich, warum Text-First Development kein Retro-Trick ist, sondern ein praktikables Arbeitsmodell für die KI-Ära. Wer Architektur, Entscheidungen und Konventionen in Text statt in Tickets, Chat-Verläufen oder auch nur an der Kaffeemaschine festhält, bekommt bessere KI-Ergebnisse, mehr Präzision und weniger Nacharbeit. Und ganz nebenbei entsteht endlich wieder etwas, das in der Softwareentwicklung jahrzehntelang zu teuer war: aktuelle, brauchbare Dokumentation für Mensch und Maschine. Kein Talk über Prompt-Hacks, Tool-Vergleiche oder das Tool der Woche, sondern über eine einfache, praktische Frage: Wie müssen wir Software bauen, damit KI-Unterstützung nicht nur beeindruckend wirkt, sondern dauerhaft nützt? Die Antwort ist überraschend einfach: kein Tool-Zirkus, kein Hokuspokus. Einfach nur Text. Nach Ihrer Anmeldung schicken wir Ihnen den Anmeldelink zu.

Hello everyone, After a great restart last month, we’re happy to invite you to the next Rust Berlin meetup at the JetBrains office. We’ll stick to the classic format: an evening with two main talks, followed by time to connect, discuss, and catch up with the community. Finger food and drinks will be available throughout the evening. **Agenda** * Doors open: 18:30 * Start: 19:00 * Short welcome and updates from JetBrains * 2 talks (20–30 minutes each) * Open mic / lightning talks (optional, a few minutes each) * Networking **Speakers** Egor Lebedev - Welcome and a short note from the RustRover team Till Adam - Slint-MCP In this talk, Till will walk you through the implementation of the MCP server for the Slint GUI framework - and how it's implemented in Rust. He will walk you through the implementation from design to implementation. Gaurav Gahlot - Rust meets Kubernetes This talk is a hands-on walkthrough using kube-rs. We'll connect to a cluster, query pods, watch real-time events via async streams, and build a minimal controller - all in Rust, all running live. **Speaker Bios** Till Adam is the CCO at KDAB and has been working on open-source since the 90s. Originally a C++ company, KDAB has been working with Rust for the last 8 years. One of their biggest projects is CXX-Qt. Their specialization on the Rust side is use in hybrid, high-performance, high-correctness codebases. Gaurav Gahlot is a Software Engineer with experience building scalable platforms with Go, Rust, and Kubernetes. He maintains the CNCF Akri project and actively contributes to open source. **Open mic & future talks** We’ll reserve a few short slots for anyone who wants to share something with the group. This can be a quick idea, a project, or an experience. Slides are optional. If you’re interested in giving a longer talk at a future meetup, this is also a good opportunity to connect with the organizers. **Venue & access** Please arrive on time. We will have someone at the entrance to let people in between 18:30 and 19:15. After that, access becomes more difficult as the doors are locked and require manual opening. **Registration** The venue has limited capacity and events typically fill up with a waiting list. If you register and can no longer attend, even at short notice, please un-RSVP so someone else can take your spot. Looking forward to seeing you all!

Join us for our second Berlin Tech Talk: Together in DEIB – Redefining Tech Culture Beyond “Always-On.” In recognition of this year's Stress Awareness Month theme #BeTheChange, we’re bringing together leading voices from the tech industry for a panel discussion on how we can start shifting away from the “always-on” culture that has become common in the world of technology.
