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!

Come join us on playing the small astro outdoor pitch with walls and goals at Jahn-Sportpark. Like inside Hallenfußball - but outside! We play 4vs4 or 5vs5 with up to 2 sub each team. Fun Fun Fun! Do you like to play football - but relaxed and not with competitive or aggressive players? Are you a bit lazy, a bit old, a bit unfit or just not so talented? Are you tired of over-competitive emotional bros who only want to show off their skills and desperately need to win? **Then [Lousy & Lazy Football](https://www.instagram.com/landlsc/) is the right thing for you!** We are a group of friendly people who just want to have a relaxed kick. All genders, ages (18+) and nationalities welcome. Note: **We** only play with "Multinocken" (multistuds) or shorter. Please have a look here: [link](https://www.11teamsports.com/de-de/fussballschuhe/multinocken/). Rules for lazy & lousy football 1. **Don’t be competitive** 2. **No hard tackling/sliding challenges** 3. **Support new and less skilled players by giving them the time and space to play the ball, dont intercept passes to and from them** 4. **Don’t dribble past multiple players (trying to take on one player is fine).** 5. **Don’t close down the defenders too quickly. Give the team a chance to play the ball out.** 6. **Rotate the goalkeeper** 7. **Be a teamplayer, pass the ball.** 8. **We enjoy shooting goals, but we dont count them. Winning / losing doesn't matter.** This meetup is for members of the Lousy & Lazy Sport Club. If you want to try out our lousy & lazy sport events, you can do a trial run (Probetraining).

We are excited to announce our next meetup, which will again be hosted at the beautiful [HubSpot](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/#) Berlin offices.

**Das Treffen ist offen für w/m/d Personen.** Die Selbsthilfegruppe Berlin Prenzlauer Berg findet in der Regel am ersten Sonntag im Monat von 15:00 bis 17:00 statt. Zum Thema: **Wellenreiten statt Untergehen – Gefühle verstehen und lenken** Schwierige Gefühle werden im Alltag oft unterdrückt oder als störend empfunden. Dabei sind Traurigkeit, Angst oder Wut essenzielle Signale unseres Systems, die uns auf unerfüllte Bedürfnisse hinweisen. **Die Schwerpunkte des Treffens:** * **Wahrnehmung schulen:** Emotionen frühzeitig erkennen, bevor sie uns kontrollieren. * **Die Botschaft entschlüsseln:** Gefühle als Datenquelle für persönliche Bedürfnisse verstehen. * **Resilienz stärken:** Methoden zur Regulation, um auch in stürmischen Phasen stabil zu bleiben. Wie können wir Distanz zugewinnen, ohne den Kontakt zu sich selbst zu verlieren? Zeit für alle, die ihre emotionale Kompetenz in einen echten **Ressourcenblick** verwandeln möchten. Mit Selbsthilfegruppen schaffen wir einen geschützten Raum für emotionale Entlastung und gegenseitige Unterstützung. Die Teilnehmenden begegnen sich wertschätzend und geben sich gegenseitig lebensnahe Hilfe. Durch den regelmäßigen Austausch werden Selbstbewusstsein und Selbstwertgefühl gestärkt und das soziale Netzwerk erweitert. Die Teilnahme an den Gruppen unterstützt dabei, ein individuelles Krisennetzwerk sowie einen persönlichen Krisenplan aufzubauen. Ergänzende Übungen helfen, bestehende Bewältigungsstrategien zu erweitern und den Umgang mit herausfordernden Situationen nachhaltig zu verbessern.

There’s a peace and relaxation possible for everyone, that can occur with total ease, with a simple body process, called Access Bars ® Access Bar is like hitting the delete button on your computer’s hard drive. Negative thought patterns and mental chatter can be released and a space for peace, ease and new possibilities opens up. Best, everyone can learn this body process in a one day class. You can give the Bars® to your family and friends and to your clients. And of course you can let the Bars run also on yourself. Access Bars ® and Bodyprocess classes in English take place once a month, classes in German twice a month. Just ask for your desired date. Would this class be a contribution to your body, to your life, your business? Then I would like to have you in a one-day Access Bars. Consider this your invitation to a totally different paradigm for healing, change and transformation in all aspects of your life.

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.
