Everyone has a number. A savings target. An amount that would mean they never have to worry about money again. The problem is, almost nobody actually knows what their number is. Most people invest without a clear target. They contribute to their brokerage account, pick some ETFs, and hope it works out. But hope is not a strategy. Without knowing how much is enough, you can't know if you're saving too little, taking too much risk, or even if you're on track at all. This session is an open discussion about the math behind financial independence. Not the Instagram version. The real version: how to calculate what you actually need, what assumptions go into that calculation, and what most people get wrong usually, by throwing numbers around. 🧭 Format of the Event This is a casual, discussion-based gathering with no long presentations. We'll sit around the table, and your host Romain will kick things off with a short introduction covering: * Why "save as much as you can" is not a real plan * The key variables that determine whether you'll reach financial independence (and which ones you can actually control) * How small changes in your assumptions can dramatically shift your timeline * The most common mistakes people make when projecting their financial future From there, we open the floor for discussion. Bring your questions, your assumptions, and your curiosity. Recommended Preparation Before the event, think about this: if someone asked you today "how much money do you need to never worry about money again?", could you give a confident answer? And if so, how did you arrive at that number? 👥 Who Can Join? Everyone is welcome. This discussion will be especially valuable if you are: * An investor who contributes regularly but has never calculated a concrete target for financial independence. * Someone who has used online calculators or rules of thumb (like "25x your expenses") but isn't sure those numbers apply to your situation in Luxembourg. * A professional who wants to move from "I hope this is enough" to "I know exactly where I stand." 📌 Practical Info * 🗓️ Date: Tuesday, April 14th, 2026 at 18:30 (you can also arrive later). * 🗣️ Language: The event will be in English. * 📍 Location: Hotel Le Place d'Armes (18 Place d'Armes, Luxembourg). The bar is hidden at the back. Ask at reception for directions if you are unsure. * 🍻 Drinks: Drinks are self-paid at the venue bar. * 👥 Limited Seats: Please RSVP so we can manage space.

**Um was geht es dieses mal?** Dieses Mal findet das Meetup in Kooperation mit dem **n8n Meetup im Ruhrgebiet** statt und wird wie immer bei uns bei codecentric in Dortmund ausgerichtet. Beim 3. n8n Meetup im Ruhrgebiet geht es wie immer darum, die Möglichkeiten von n8n besser kennenzulernen, Erfahrungen zu teilen, voneinander zu lernen und sich mit anderen auszutauschen. Dieses Mal steht das Meetup zusätzlich im Zeichen von Vibe Coding und schnellem Prototyping. Im Fokus steht, wie sich n8n als Backend für Automatisierungen, Schnittstellen und Logik im Hintergrund mit Vibe Coding für die schnelle Entwicklung von Frontends verbinden lässt, um in kurzer Zeit funktionierende Prototypen, interne Tools und erste MVPs umzusetzen. Anhand konkreter Beispiele und Live-Demos zeigen wir, wie aus einer Idee schnell etwas Nutzbares entsteht. **Hybrides Setup!** Wir freuen uns, euch bei uns in den Räumen der codecentric AG in Dortmund willkommen zu heißen. Vor Ort versorgen wir euch mit Snacks und Getränken und freuen uns gleichzeitig über interessante Diskussionen und einen guten Austausch. Für alle, die es nicht zu uns ins Office schaffen, werden wir das Meetup Hybrid durchführen. Der Stream beginnt ca. 10 Minuten später, damit wir vor Ort ausreichend Möglichkeit für persönliches Kennenlernen haben. Den Live-Stream findet ihr auf dem [YouTube-Channel](https://www.youtube.com/@codecentricAG) der codecentric AG. **Wichtig - Absage bitte rechtzeitig:** Wir bestellen das Essen bereits 3 Tage vor dem Meetup. Falls ihr doch verhindert sein solltet, bitten wir euch um eine rechtzeitige Absage. Das ist wichtig, damit wir nicht unnötig Essen verschwenden müssen. Vielen Dank für euer Verständnis! **Anreise:** Per Zug: Vom Dortmunder HBF sind es ca. 10 Minuten zu Fuß. Mit dem Auto: Rund um das Office gibt es einige Parkflächen, dazu befinden sich in dem Parkhaus der Thier-Galerie weitere Parkplätze.

Hej Gophers, unser nächstes Treffen wird am Dienstag, 14. April stattfinden. Wir freuen uns, dass [Lukas Nagel](https://github.com/lukasngl/) von [MeKo Manufacturing](http://www.meko.de/) den Abend inhaltlich zum Thema "The Most Native Kubernetes App" gestalten wird. Was wäre, wenn wir nur das Kubernetes-Cluster zur Verfügung hätten? Wir entwicklen eine ToDo-App ausschließlich mit Kubernetes-Bordmitteln, zeigen, warum das keine gute Idee ist, und wie man mit diesen Patterns nützliche Operatoren implementieren kann. Wir treffen uns um 18 Uhr bei [enercity](https://www.enercity.de/). Mit dem Vortrag starten wir um 18:30 Uhr. Danach wollen wir über Technologien und Erfahrungen plaudern, voneinander lernen, Kontakte knüpfen und einfach eine tolle Zeit miteinander verbringen. [enercity](https://www.enercity.de/) sponsert uns die Verpflegung - vielen Dank dafür! Getränke sind reichlich vorhanden und wir planen Pizza zu bestellen. **Für die vor Ort-Teilnahme bitte unbedingt beachten:** * **Anmeldung** zum MeetUp Event muss bis **Montag, 13.04.2026,** **18 Uhr** erfolgt sein. * Für den Zugang ins Gebäude wird der **volle Name** für die Anmeldung beim Pförtner benötigt.

We are delighted to welcome [Lukas Nagel](https://github.com/lukasngl/) from [MeKo Manufacturing](http://www.meko.de/) with the topic "The Most Native Kubernetes App". The talk will be German. What if we only had the Kubernetes cluster at our disposal? We'll develop a ToDo app using only Kubernetes' bulit-in tools, demonstrate why this isn't a good idea, and show how these patterns can be used to implement useful operators. We will meet at 6 pm at [enercity](https://www.enercity.de/). The talk starts at 6:30pm. Afterwards, we want to chat about technologies and experiences, learn from each other, socialise and simply have a great time together. [enercity](https://www.enercity.de/) is sponsoring the catering - thank you very much! There will be plenty of drinks and we plan to order pizza. **Please note for on-site participation:** * **Registration** for the MeetUp event must be completed by **6 pm** on **Monday, 13th April 2026**. * A **full name** is required for entry into the building to register with security.

**⚡ AI & Coffee – In-Person Meetup in Metz** Since the community has been growing very fast in Luxembourg 🇱🇺, Vienna 🇦🇹, Bucharest 🇷🇴 and Belgrade 🇷🇸 we’re hosting now also events in Metz 🇫🇷! Join our in-person event on Saturday, 18 April from 15h00-17h00 in Les 3 lumières [65 Place St Louis, 57000 Metz, France](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x4794ddfb97809c5f:0xa3fbaf4da6636c4d?sa=X&ved=1t:8290&ictx=111). During the first part of the event, we will all gather in a circle/square format and introduce ourselves for 1–2 minutes. This gives everyone the opportunity to share who they are, what they do, and what they are looking for, while also getting to know the entire room by listening to others do the same. This has proven to be the most effective way to network with 15–30 people within one hour, and afterwards it allows you to connect more easily with those who sparked your interest. The introduction round is the most exciting part of the event, so please try to arrive a bit early to avoid missing the start 😊👆 Based on the great feedbacks, feel free to bring also your laptops if you’d like to show your work. People were very open to sharing approaches and projects, which sparked some truly deep conversations. AI is moving so fast that it’s hard to keep up alone. The best way to make sense of it is by meeting others, exchanging ideas, and hearing fresh perspectives. That’s what this meetup is about. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- ☕ We’ll gather in a local café for open conversations about: * AI news and trends (what’s real, what’s hype) * Sharing projects, ideas, and feedback * Supporting each other and creating new stories * Building connections with like-minded people 👥 **Who’s welcome?** Developers, entrepreneurs, investors, mentors, students, researchers, creatives — and anyone simply curious about AI. 💡 **What to expect** * Casual atmosphere, no commitment, no pressure * The host will share small icebreakers and sparks of AI news * The rest is up to you: meet, talk, connect, and exchange 🎉 The only cost is your own coffee or drink. Bring your curiosity and an open mind — and let’s build one of the most exciting AI communities in the area. Looking forward to meeting you all and building the AI&Coffee Metz community together.

⚡ **AI & Coffee — Luxembourg's In-Person AI Community** AI is moving faster than any of us can keep up with alone.

We are bringing together Luxembourg's most curious, creative and driven minds for an afternoon of open, honest and energising conversations about artificial intelligence — not in theory, but in practice.
