Web Zurich March 2026
Web Zurich March 2026
Web Zurich presents inspiring talks all about the web. Join us for the March 2026 meetup! We will have three talks as well as chit-chat and drinks. Whatapp: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/FxOfVTK9nf431xHtVl3eGK](https://chat.whatsapp.com/FxOfVTK9nf431xHtVl3eGK) Website: [https://webzurich.ch](https://webzurich.ch) 18:30 \~ 19:00 Arrival time with drinks, chat and introduction 19:00 \~ 19:40 *Christian Heitzmann* **Why Documentation Won’t Write Itself—and AI Won’t Save You** For the last 15+ years, I’ve joined and consulted software teams that all struggled with the same problem: nobody likes writing documentation, and everybody pays the price for it. New developers spend weeks reverse-engineering codebases, architecture lives in people’s heads, and wikis quietly decay into noise. With AI now entering the picture, many hope it will fill the gaps. It won’t. I’ll show the simple ideas that change everything: how to think about documentation in the right levels, how to keep it close to the code, and how to avoid the decay we all know too well. These are the decisions that have to be made before any tool or process can work. The documentation won’t write itself. But there are ways to make it far easier and far more reliable. 19:40 \~ 19:50 **Short Break** 19:50 \~ 20:10 *Marco Gähler* **How to write good code** There is an infinite amount of solutions how you can solve a programming problem. Some are better, others are worse. The best solutions are easy to understand, maintain and errors are not able to hide. I wrote a book "Software Engineering Made Easy" about this topic and I'm more than happy to explain some principles that make your code better. Most of them are quite simple to understand, once you understand the mechanics, why your code always breaks. 20:10 \~ 20:30 *Marius Ishida* **AI: The Lightsaber Problem** My talk will challenge the popular narrative that AI fundamentally democratizes power by showing that, which I believe is not true at all. While generative AI lowers entry barriers for basic tasks, it disproportionately amplifies the productivity and leverage of already computer literate users. Empirical research shows that AI acts as a skill multiplier rather than a true equalizer, with outcomes strongly dependent on users’ ability to frame problems, verify outputs, and integrate tools into complex workflows. As a result, AI risks reinforcing a new AI driven digital divide, where technical literacy—not access alone—determines who truly benefits. 20:30 onward More drinks & chat We look forward to see you there!

From CV Doubt to CV Clarity - Career Workshop Day (Zurich, in person)
From CV Doubt to CV Clarity - Career Workshop Day (Zurich, in person)
**Career Workshop – CV Mastery Day (Zurich)** A structured, in-person workshop for professionals who want clarity, orientation, and a Swiss-aligned CV that reflects their real value. Recruiters in Switzerland review CVs quickly and systematically.

This workshop focuses on understanding that logic — and applying it calmly and professionally. **What You Will Gain** * A clear, Swiss-professional CV structure recruiters expect * Confidence in what to include, what to leave out, and why * Practical orientation to reduce guesswork in your applications * The ability to describe your experience with clarity and precision * A reusable framework you can apply to future roles This is not a template session. You will learn how Swiss recruiters read and decide, and how to position your profile accordingly. **This Workshop Is For You If** * You apply but receive few interview invitations * Your CV feels unclear, too long, or not aligned with Swiss standards * You are an international professional navigating the Swiss job market * You are changing roles, returning to work, or addressing a career gap * You value structure, clarity, and professional orientation over hype **Host & Facilitator** **Claudia Scherrer Domingos** Swiss HR Expert \| Career Strategist \| Active Recruiter * 20+ years of HR leadership experience in Switzerland * 25,000+ CVs reviewed across industries and seniority levels * Lecturer at business schools and trainer of international professionals * Actively involved in recruitment and hiring decisions Claudia combines market insight with clear structure and calm, direct guidance. **Event Details** 📍 **Location**: Volkshaus Zurich, Blue Hall 🗓 **Date**: Friday, March 27, 2026 ⏰ **Time**: 09:00 – 16:00 💰 **Fee**: CHF 98.00 👥 **Format**: In-person, limited seats for focused learning **Outcome** You will leave with clarity, a clear plan for your CV, and the confidence to complete it without overthinking — aligned with Swiss expectations and your professional identity. **Secure your place today and join us 27th March**👉 https://claudiascherrer.com/career-workshop-days/

Casual Boardgames - make friends, then beat them in games
Casual Boardgames - make friends, then beat them in games
Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations. 
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that. We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus. 
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn. 
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play. 
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders… 
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords… 
IMPORTANT: 
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for. 
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
