[VIBE CODE WEDNESDAY] is a weekly gathering of people, hosted by weXelerate, where we are building things with AI — and we'd love for you to join us. Here's the idea: everyone has a mile-long to-do list and a bunch of ideas they never get around to. Things that don't get scheduled don't get done. So we made it a thing. Every Wednesday at weXelerate in Vienna, we block off the time and vibe code together. Think of it like your weekly gym session — except instead of lifting weights, you're finally building that thing you've been putting off for months. Two reasons people keep coming back: you actually get stuff done, and you're not alone in the room and meet new people. Someone next to you just found a tool you've never heard of or you get honest feedback on your idea. That kind of casual knowledge sharing is hard to find — and it happens naturally here. From pros to newbies everyone is welcome. No experience required. No pressure. Just show up and build. Wednesdays @ weXelerate, Praterstraße 1, 1020 Vienna

Then I tracked what actually happened: agents repeated the same mistakes across sessions, rules accumulated without evidence they helped, and review load stayed constant no matter how many rules I added.This talk covers what I learned building and testing a different approach: treating context as a living artifact with a lifecycle — generated from real incidents, curated for gaps, compiled to token budgets, and evaluated before injection. The key insight: context you can't measure is context you can't improve.I'll walk through three concrete problems and the patterns I found to address them: 1. **Attribution** — when an agent opens a PR, you can't tell what it wrote, why, or whether a human reviewed it. Giving agents their own signing keys and git identity changes code review from guessing to auditing. 2. **Memory that persists** — Monday you correct an agent, Tuesday it makes the same mistake. I built a typed diary (episodic, procedural, semantic, reflection entries) that survives across sessions and compiles into token-budget context packs. The difference vs. static rules: rules authored from memory can't compound; entries harvested from incidents can. 3. **Evaluating context, not just code** — SWE-bench tests whether agents can fix bugs. I needed something different: does this context pack actually help the agent avoid known mistakes? I'll show why scenarios harvested from real incidents (20–67% baseline → 95–100% with context) wildly outperform auto-generated ones.The talk is grounded in real workflows, real failures, and real data. The patterns — identity, lifecycle-based memory, context-as-testable-artifact — are applicable regardless of which agent or framework you use. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🗣️ Speaker to be announced \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **🗣️Want to give a Talk?** ▶️ [https://viennajs.org/en/participate/give-a-talk](https://viennajs.org/en/participate/give-a-talk) **Location:** Dynatrace Austria GmbH THE ICON VIENNA ***Tower 24 - 22nd Floor*** Wiedner Gürtel 13, 1100 Vienna When you arrive in the ICON tower, walk straight to the info point and ask for a visitor’s card for Dynatrace (**22nd floor**). They will explain the way to Tower 24. Walk through the 1st glass door. At the 2nd glass door, you will need your visitor’s card (left side) and hold it against the card reader to open. Hold your visitor card against the card reader at the turnstiles, walk through it, and look at the screen on your slide (while entering). Don’t move too close to the gate before using your card, as it might block you. The screen will display a letter (A-D) about which elevator you need to take. You can also check your designated elevator by holding the card under one of the elevator screen panels.

**Entspanntes ADHS-Treffen mit Liliputbahn-Fahrt durch den Prater und optionalem Aufenthalt in der Luftburg danach.** Wir fahren zusammen mit der Liliputbahn und haben dann Zeit für Plaudern bei Kaffee oder Essen (optional). Dieses Treffen ist für Erwachsene in Wien mit ADHS – diagnostiziert, selbst-diagnostiziert oder einfach neugierig. Du musst nicht gesprächig oder sozial besonders begabt sein, um mitzukommen. Komm einfach vorbei, teile die Erfahrung und rede so viel oder so wenig, wie es für dich stimmig ist. Es geht hier nicht darum, Symptome zu analysieren oder uns zu „reparieren“. Sondern darum, Menschen zu treffen, bei denen ADHS einfach normal ist – wo du dich zugehörig fühlst und wir lernen können, dass wir okay, liebenswert und willkommen sind, genau so wie wir sind. **Ablauf und was dich erwartet** * Eine kleine, gemütliche Gruppe wundervoller Persönlichkeiten * Eine kurze Fahrt zusammen mit der Liliputbahn (ca. 20 Minuten) * Optionaler Aufenthalt in der Luftburg danach für Kaffee, Getränke oder Essen in entspannter Atmosphäre Falls du Schwierigkeiten hast, Kontakte zu knüpfen, dich überfordert fühlst oder nicht sicher bist, wie du Anschluss findest – melde dich bei mir, ich bin da, um zu unterstützen und es uns gemeinsam leichter zu machen. **Treffzeit** * 16:50 (so gut du kannst) **Treffpunkt** * Praterstern Nord vor dem McDonald’s Ich trage eine neon-gelbe Mütze, damit du mich leicht erkennst. **Kosten** * Bitte bring Geld mit für dein Liliputbahn-Ticket (6 € für Hin- und Rückfahrt) und eventuelle Getränke/Essen in der Luftburg. **Sprache** * Deutsch und Englisch Falls du unsicher bist, ob du dich allein traust oder vielleicht zu spät ankommst, schreib mir vorher – wir finden gemeinsam eine Lösung. ––––––––– Low-pressure ADHD meetup with a nostalgic train ride through the Prater and an optional hangout at Luftburg afterwards. We’ll take the Liliputbahn together, then have time for relaxed conversation over coffee or food. We’ll ride the little train for a round trip through the green parts of the park, and then head over to Luftburg for anyone who wants to stay longer. This meetup is for adults in Vienna with ADHD – diagnosed, self-diagnosed, or just curious. You don’t need to be talkative or “socially skilled” to join. You can simply come along, share the experience, and talk as much or as little as feels good. This is not mainly a space for dissecting symptoms or fixing ourselves. It’s about meeting people where ADHD is simply normal, where you can feel like you belong, and where we can gently practice that we are okay, lovable, and welcome exactly as we are. **What to expect** * A small cozy group of other beautiful personalities * A short train ride together on the Liliputbahn (around 20 minutes) * Optional hangout at Luftburg afterwards for coffee, drinks, or food in a relaxed setting If you have trouble connecting, feel overwhelmed, or are not sure how to join in, let me know – I’m there to support and help things feel a bit easier. **Meeting time** * 16:50 (as good as you can) **Meeting point** * Praterstern Nord in front of McDonalds **I’ll be wearing a neon yellow cap so I’m easy to spot.** **Cost** * Please bring money for your own Liliputbahn ticket (6 € for a round trip) and any drinks/food at Luftburg **Language** * English and German If you’re nervous about coming alone or arriving late, you can send me a message beforehand – we’ll figure out a way that feels manageable for you.

📖 Time to revisit our classic format and **talk about a great book** again🤩! At our May event, we'll discuss **Vivienne Ming's** “***Robotproof: When Machines Have All The Answers, Build Better People***”. Vivienne is is an American theoretical neuroscientist and artificial intelligence expert, and a self-professed Professional Mad Scientist. Her life and work are both extraordinary, and her latest book provides an actionable framework for rising above the “*the homogenized, vanilla world associated with AI”* (Forbes). There’s lots to mull over, get inspired by, and take home from her writing - so don’t hesitate and join the discussion! Don’t worry if life is too busy to read a whole book: It is absolutely not mandatory. We’ll provide enough information so everyone can learn something and connect insights to their own thinking and experiences. If you want to familiarise yourself with the author’s work, there are lots of podcasts you can listen to, like this one: [https://podcasts.apple.com/at/podcast/stop-letting-ai-think-for-you-dr-vivienne-ming/id212382281?i=1000758167430](https://podcasts.apple.com/at/podcast/stop-letting-ai-think-for-you-dr-vivienne-ming/id212382281?i=1000758167430) There’ll also be time for **networking and conversation** over drinks and snacks (donations welcome, please bring some cash 😊).

Dear Data Enthusiasts, Join us again on **29th of May** at **A1** to learn about the psychological implications on employees when transforming the data landscape of an organization. In addition, we will finally have a talk about the open source framework Metaxy and how it can help to cut costs of multimodal AI pipelines. A big thanks goes to our co-organizers from the A1 Telekom and our sponsor Cloudera! **A Psychological Autopsy of a Data Transformation** *Dávid Farkas* Five years ago, a small European university decided to build and implement a data strategy from scratch. Greenfield in the truest sense: data governance was an unheard term and in practice it meant local Excel files duplicated across inboxes; "the database" usually referred to whichever spreadsheet someone had emailed most recently. Over four years, we designed and rolled out new systems, established governance structures, hired a team, and delivered real wins. We also watched a significant portion of the work get undone in months once leadership changed. This talk is a psychological autopsy of that transformation — what was planned, what worked, what quietly collapsed, and why. Universities are an unusually honest laboratory for studying data initiatives: decentralized power, competing stakeholder logics, weak formal hierarchies, and ambiguous success metrics make every human dysfunction that exists in corporate environments more visible. Drawing on behavioural science and nearly five years leading this initiative, I'll walk through the recurring failure patterns I see across data and AI projects more broadly — algorithm aversion, NIH syndrome, the gap between executive sponsorship and operational ownership, and the under-recognised role of organisational identity in determining which systems survive a leadership change. The argument is not that technology doesn't matter — it's that the human substrate determines whether any of it sticks. Borrowing Kranzberg: technology is never neutral, and neither are the people implementing it. **Dávid Farkas** is a research psychologist (PhD) and data scientist based in Budapest. He co-founded Principle Zero, which helps companies, NGOs, and researchers take on complex challenges in data strategy, digital and AI transformation, research, product development, and science communication. We bring behavioural science to problems most consultancies treat as purely technical, focusing on the human and organisational factors that determine whether ambitious projects survive contact with reality. Previously he led data science and digitalisation at MOME Budapest, with earlier industry experience applying machine learning. **Optimizing Multimodal AI Pipelines with Metaxy** *Georg Heiler, Hernan Picatto* The AI era has caused a fundamental shift in computing, moving us toward complex multimodal pipelines. However, these new systems are often incredibly wasteful. Right now, small changes to an input can trigger massive recomputations across very expensive processing steps. In this talk, we will explore Metaxy, an open source Python framework built to solve this exact problem. Metaxy provides sample level metadata versioning and acts as the universal glue for incremental data pipelines. We will discuss how its field level provenance allows your pipeline to only recompute what actually changed. If you update an audio file, for example, Metaxy knows to skip downstream face recognition steps that only rely on video. Whether you are a startup stretching your compute budget, an enterprise scaling ML infrastructure, or a researcher in academia, you will learn how to use Metaxy to iterate faster, cut cloud costs, and build highly efficient AI workflows. **Georg Heiler** is a co-founder @Jubust and a Senior data expert at Magenta as well as a ML-ops engineer at ASCII. He is solving challenges with data. His interests include geospatial graphs and time series. Georg transitions the data platform of Magenta to the cloud and is handling large scale multi-modal ML-ops challenges at ASCII. **Hernan Picatto** is a Computer Science PhD candidate at the Vienna University of Technology researching firm-level supply chains and corporate networks using NLP and Common Crawl data. Formerly an engineer at JPMorgan Chase and ZhiZhouKeji, he holds an MA from UCSD. His broad interests span big data, visualization, and time series causality. 🎤🎤 Open Mic We are going to open up the stage after the talks for community announcements.

Most people use AI like a search box: they type one sentence, hope for the best, and get frustrated when the answer is generic, wrong, or useless. But getting better results from tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI systems is not about memorizing magic prompts. It is about learning how to give the AI better context. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll break down how to make AI dramatically more useful by improving the way you communicate with it. You’ll learn how to give clearer instructions, provide examples, set constraints, ask for better output formats, and use follow-up questions to turn a mediocre answer into a genuinely useful one. We’ll cover practical techniques you can use immediately for work, learning, writing, coding, planning, research, and everyday problem solving. We’ll also touch on why these same ideas show up in more advanced AI systems, including RAG, agents, evaluations, and AI workflows. No technical background required. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and maybe one real task you wish AI was better at helping you with. **What you’ll learn:** * Why “better prompting” is really about better context * How to structure requests so AI gives more useful answers * How to use examples, constraints, and output formats * How to iterate when the first answer is not good enough * How these skills connect to more advanced AI workflows This meetup is for anyone who wants to move beyond basic ChatGPT usage and start getting more practical value out of AI. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** https://youtube.com/live/BltmWMH1zG0?feature=share
