UI/UX Design

**Léto klepe na dveře a před námi je poslední pražský předprázdninový meetup. Než začnete se svým agentem řešit, kam na dovolenou a co si vzít s sebou, a vyměníte prompty za offline čtení na pláži, stavte se pro poslední dávku nápadů! 🤖☀️🔥** Pohodový večer, kde to nebude o tom, že nás AI nahradí, ale o tom, co s ní reálně zvládneme líp. Jako vždy odstartujeme Nowwwinkami a pak se ponoříme do programu, který stojí za odložení dovolenkových plánů o jeden večer. Přijďte si pro poslední nálož inspirace, než pošlete své agenty na virtuální pláž a všechno utichne v dovolenkovém a okurkovém režimu. ☀️🏝️🥒 **Hlavní line-up** 🤩 * 🟢 18:00 otevíráme dveře v **CDN77** * 1️⃣ 18:30 **Nowwwinky** od Tomáše Kouta * 2️⃣ 19:00 **Mezistavy: React nechce, abyste řešili async** od Adama Kováře * 3️⃣ 19:30 **Vibecoding 280+ dní poté** od Jana Honzy Černého a.k.a. chemiXe * 4️⃣ 20:00 **Co mi chybí v** **BEM** (lightning talk) od Jirky Cerhana * 🎓 80+ nadšených účastníků * 🍻 a v neposlední řadě kvalitní networking \-\-\- 1️⃣ Tomáš Kout se svými **Nowwwinkami** jako obvykle otevře večer svým přehledem toho nejzajímavějšího z poslední doby. \-\-\- 2️⃣ Následuje přednáška na téma **Mezistavy: React nechce, abyste řešili async** od [Adama Kováře](https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-kov%C3%A1%C5%99-0905a0169/) z [CDN77](https://www.cdn77.com/) Většina interakcí v UI je asynchronní, spinner browser tabu nám už nestačí a frameworky stále hledají řešení. Odpověď React teamu je, že async řešit nemusíte, alespoň ne tak jako doposud. Ukažme si, jak toho chtějí docílit pomocí transitions a action patternu. Adam o sobě: *„Mám rád otevřený a rychlý web, přesto posledních 6 let vyvíjím v Reactu. Věřím, že RSS je technologie budoucnosti a ve volném čase luštím křížovky.“* \-\-\- 3️⃣ Přednáškový blok uzavře [Jan Honza Černý a.k.a. chemiX](https://www.linkedin.com/in/chemix/) příspěvkem **Vibecoding 280+ dní poté** ...a pak přišel vibe coding. Najednou stačilo pár vět do chatu a před očima začaly vznikat funkční prototypy rychlostí blesku. Jenže to nebyli jen prototypy. CEO, manažer, grafik dostali nástroj kterým začali plevelit codebase a vibecode apokaplypsa začala... Tato přednáška ukáže, co jsme se za více jak 280 dní naučili. Jak s apokalypsou bojovat. Jak předcházet nakažení. Jak se bránit proti nákaze. A jaké jsou příznaky nakažení nejen kódu, ale i u lidí. To celé trošku s nadsázkou a hlavně otvírákem k diskuzi u piva. Jan o sobě: *„Digitální alchymista – rád zkoumá substituce UX, UI, AI, frontendu i backendu. Všude i nikde. Offline mísí s online. Tam, kde klávesnice končí, začínají kostky a karty. Spoluorganizátor technických meetupů po celé České republice, klid hledá u rydel nebo v lese.“* \-\-\- 4️⃣ A na závěr v odlehčeném duchu naservírujeme lightning talk na téma **Co mi chybí v** **BEM** od [Jirky Cerhana](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jiri-cerhan/) ze [SiteOne](https://www.siteone.cz) BEM metodiku pro organizaci CSS většina z nás důvěrně zná. Ve své praxi jsem ale narazil na pár míst, kde to maličko skřípe. S nástupem CSS custom properties se nabízejí nová řešení, která posunou přehlednost a snadnou modifikaci komponent o úroveň výš. **Máte zájem se připojit do bloku ⚡️Lightning talk(s) taky?** Napište a zajistěte si své místo ještě na této akci. \-\-\- Neváhejte s registrací a zabookujte si místo – bude to stát za to! 🎉 👉 Pro další zajímavé novinky a dění sledujte kanály komunity na [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/@FrontendistiCz), [X](https://x.com/Frontendisti), [Facebooku](https://www.facebook.com/frontendisti/), [Instagramu](https://www.instagram.com/frontendisti/), [LinkedInu](https://www.linkedin.com/company/frontendisti/posts/?feedView=all) nebo navštivte [náš web](https://www.frontendisti.cz).

**🎟️ REGISTER [HERE](https://luma.com/mewsrnd-whenaileavesthelab) TO SECURE YOUR SPOT AT THE EVENT 🎟️** Frontier AI models are evolving quickly, but the real challenge is no longer just building larger systems, it is turning advances in LLM research into reliable, efficient, and valuable products in the real world. ​ We invite you to join a panel discussion featuring experts working across AI research and engineering, who will share their perspectives on what actually matters in the next wave of LLM development. The conversation will explore the trade-offs between scale, efficiency, reasoning, and product impact, as well as what it takes to move from experimental models to systems that can be deployed at scale. The discussion will be moderated by **[Rogers Leo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rogersjeffreyl/?utm_source=luma), Director of Engineering and Product (Agentic AI) at [Mews](https://www.mews.com/en?utm_source=luma).** ​This panel will go beyond the hype and focus on practical lessons from building with LLMs today. We will look at where current approaches break down, what “good enough” really means in production, and why efficiency and system design may matter as much as model capability. ​ **Panelists:** **[Karol Lasocki](https://www.linkedin.com/in/karol-lasocki-1a86b2151/?utm_source=luma)**, Senior Machine Learning Engineer at **[BottleCap AI](https://www.bottlecapai.com/?utm_source=luma)** **[Luděk Matyska](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ludek-matyska/?utm_source=luma)**, AI Lead at **[ROUVY](https://rouvy.com/?utm_source=luma)** **[Soheyla Mirshahi](https://www.linkedin.com/in/soheyla-mirshahi-phd/?utm_source=luma),** AI Governance & Product Leader at **[T-Mobile](https://www.t-mobile.com/)** ​**Agenda:** 18:00 Doors open 18:30 Panel discussion + Q&A 19:30 Networking **🎟️ REGISTER [HERE](https://luma.com/mewsrnd-whenaileavesthelab) TO SECURE YOUR SPOT AT THE EVENT 🎟️** \-\-\-\-\-\- Photographs and video recordings may be taken during this event for documentation and promotional purposes, including use on websites, social media, and other communication channels.

At our second meeting, we discussed Eliezer Yudkowsky's book, "[If anyone builds it, everyone dies](https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/474267/if-anyone-builds-it-everyone-dies-by-soares-eliezer-yudkowsky-and-nate/9781847928924)". So this time, something optimistic is needed :) **Let's dive into different utopian versions of our world with AGI.** The texts below are just suggestions; pick one or read something different. The more colorful utopias, the better the discussion. * [Nick Bostrom: Letter from Utopia](https://nickbostrom.com/utopia) (or read the whole "Deep Utopia" book, if you feel like it). * [Dario Amodei: Machines of Loving Grace](https://darioamodei.com/essay/machines-of-loving-grace) * [Isaac Asimov: The Last Question](https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~gamvrosi/thelastq.html) * [Iain Banks: Culture series](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_series) * TBD (suggestions welcome!)

**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose** Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap. Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn: * Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge * How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change * Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction * How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work. **About Our Speaker** [Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.

Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

## 🤝 Host Information A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus 💡 About the Workshop AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge. This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow. Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided! Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site. ###

Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans. We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans. Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served. This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation.

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
